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!

good hack.
But I think it's only to be used by mods or admin would be better .

That's by design, to make the bottom part as scanty and not cluttered as possible.

You can 'fix' this easily thought, in functions.php, add this:

			$post[editreason]=bbcodeparse2($post[editreason],0,0,1,0);

right after this:

		if ($post[editreason]!='') {

So now when I say something stupid like
"Sinecure, you... wonderful guy!"

Great hack man, im tempted to install it now before work, but im late as is. When I get home for sure! Thanks.

Btw, its helpful to turn your "Show edited by, after edited...." to 1 or something, cuz I know I edit my posts the most after the first 2 mins of posting it. (that made NO sence)
