Show Thread Enhancements - First Post Editable Indefinitely

Sometimes you want your users to be able to edit the first post in their thread indefinitely but still have a time limit on all other posts in the thread. This would be useful if they want to constantly update their first thread with new information, or an updated list of some sort way past the normal editing time limit. This modification will allow them to edit that first post indefinitely.

Notes
- I wrote this for my own site and it works exactly how I want it to. I have no plans to change it or expand it in any way
- No, you may not change the time limit, this only works for if the time limit for the first post is 0 - indefinite.

FOR 4.1.12 - SEE THIS POST - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=63

Version History:
1.0 2009-11-17: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org
1.1 2009-11-21: - added option in Forum Manager to turn on indefinite editing of first post per forum
1.2 2010-07-22: - fixed to work in 4.0.4. Also moved plugin from global_complete to global_bootstrap_complete since global_complete is deprecated (4.0.4)

A beautiful and correct fashion, I was looking for a similar and now in complete disarray of the inability to use it.

Right on the bottom...

DSemen, go to your admin control panel and click on "Forums & Moderators", then click on "Forum Manager", now if you click on any of your forums you should see "Make first post in thread editable indefinitely: Yes - No" at the bottom of all the options.

Thank you very much! It is very necessary and useful mod!
Did not work as long as not kept re all sections in the admin panel. (save)

Thank you. This is useful. Any chance to make it available only in designated forums, please?

I'm confused.

I have always used "Time Limit on Editing of Posts", set to a month - However, I thought this mod would allow the editing for the first thread in our for sale sections - I installed awhile ago and left it at that.. today I hear from a user that although he can click the edit button, he gets a message saying "The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 60480 minutes after you have posted."

So, re-reading your first post i see that "Time Limit on Editing of Posts" has to be set to 0, for this to work.. but, doesn't this negate the use of time limit on editing posts? - If i set that to 0 all users will be able to edit all their posts, so.. i don't understand this mod now..

Could you please explain how i can set it up so that all posts are non-editable after a month and only 1st threads are editable in specified forums, lets pretend im really dumb.. for a minute or two

Thanks

^ the confusion is in misreading

It doesn't say to set-up the forum confings to be editable indefinitely.

it just says you don't have a config for the plugin. It's zero-end of story

- No, you may not change the time limit, this only works for if the time limit for the first post is 0 - indefinite.

Did you check the Forum Manager > edit forum, and make sure you enabled this for that forum?
