Reason for post edit

I won't talk too much, it's been a very very long day.

This hacks lets your users specify the reason for editing their post.
If you ever worked with CVS (and alike), you can write the reason you edited the file.
I thought it'd be cool to have the same thing here.

So when you edit a post, you'll see a text box at the bottom, for you to enter the reason for editing the post.
That's instead of the ridiculous:
Just fixing a type --Chen.
messages at the bottom of the post.
If you leave the box empty, nothing will be displayed.

This is installed here, so if you want a demo just edit one of your posts here.
(don't forget to wait 2 minutes before editing, that's the setting here)

Download the installed (attached), upload to your admin folder and run from your browser.
Most is automatic, but you need to edit 2 files and 2 templates (1 edit each).

That's it, feedback!

Are you sure you added the right stuff to the edit templates?

[69-FLy-gUy]

Yes, I believe so.. However, I will uninstall this hack, and then reinstall it and i will let you know how it turns out ok?

Thanks for your patience FireFly!

Well I hvae uninstalled it, and reinstalled it.. I am guessing it is something to do with functions.php

here is the part of the code that contains where i have to edit...

if ($post[edituserid]!=0) {
		if ($post['edituserid']!=$post['userid']) {
			$edituser=getuserinfo($post[edituserid]);
		} else {
			$edituser = $post;
		}
		$post[edittime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[editdate]);
		$post[editdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$post[editdate]);

		eval("\$post[editedby] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedby")."\";");

// Edit Reason (v1.0)
		if ($post[editreason]= !'') { 
			eval("\$post[editedreason] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedreason")."\";");
		} else {
			$post[editedreason]='';
		}
// Edit Reason (v1.0)

	} else {
		$post[editedby]="";
	}

	if ($post[dateline]>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]) {

and this is the part in my postbit template ->

$post[attachment]
	<p>$post[signature]</p>
	<p> $post[editedby]</p> <br> $post[editedreason]

	
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>

Any idea?

Looks fine... hmm are you sure you edited editpost.php correctly? Can you see the Edit Reason input box when you edit a box?

[69-FLy-gUy]

Yes. I can see the edit box.. and i can enter in a message.....

Don't know if someone's already suggested this but if you can see the edit box and nothing shows, make sure you aren't doing what I did. I had the "Show edits by Admins" box ticked to NO. Once I changed that, everything was fine.
