[Beta 1.5.4] Maximum Edit Time

[Scorpion]

This mod lets the board admin choose how long (in minutes) a member can edit his/her post after it's posted. It excludes administrators, global moderators, and moderators. The max post edited time can be changed in "Installed Mods & Settings".

If nothing changed in mod settings, you probably didn't install the mod right.

yea, but it isn't that tough - and this is the second mod to do this. the who's browsing mod just broke (it was functional and then it just dissapeared but all of the files are still right)

weird

Will this mod stop the user deleting their post after x mins??

no it's only for modifying posts

I figured it out, for some reason my board mod was not reading a step on the .mod file - it came across blank but when I open the .mod file in notepad I can read it just fine and made the change as it said, works fine..

Any chance of a little tweak to stop them doing anything to it after x mins??

I'd like that option..

honestly a guy just tried to sue a lot of people for stuff said about him (libel and slander) on a bbs, of course he went and deleted everything HE said first..

Ok, make the following modifications for this mod so users can't delete their posts or modify their messages after x amount of minutes.

Edit file: Sources/ModifyMessage.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

   $request = mysql_query("
         SELECT m.ID_MSG, m.ID_MEMBER, m.attachmentSize, m.attachmentFilename, t.locked, t.ID_FIRST_MSG, t.ID_LAST_MSG, t.ID_TOPIC, t.ID_POLL, t.numReplies, b.ID_BOARD, b.count
         FROM {$db_prefix}messages AS m, {$db_prefix}topics AS t, {$db_prefix}boards AS b
         WHERE m.ID_MSG=$postid
            AND t.ID_TOPIC=m.ID_TOPIC
            AND b.ID_BOARD=t.ID_BOARD
         LIMIT 1;") or database_error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
   $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request);

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

   $request = mysql_query("
         SELECT m.ID_MSG, m.ID_MEMBER, m.attachmentSize, m.attachmentFilename, t.locked, t.ID_FIRST_MSG, t.ID_LAST_MSG, m.posterTime, t.ID_TOPIC, t.ID_POLL, t.numReplies, b.ID_BOARD, b.count
         FROM {$db_prefix}messages AS m, {$db_prefix}topics AS t, {$db_prefix}boards AS b
         WHERE m.ID_MSG=$postid
            AND t.ID_TOPIC=m.ID_TOPIC
            AND b.ID_BOARD=t.ID_BOARD
         LIMIT 1;") or database_error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
   $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request);

Find:

Code Select Expand

   if ($row['ID_MEMBER'] != $ID_MEMBER && $settings[7] != 'Administrator' && $settings[7] != 'Global Moderator' && !in_array($username, $moderators))
      fatal_error($txt[67]);

Add after:

Code Select Expand

 $maxEditTime = $modSettings[maxtime];
 if ($row['ID_MEMBER'] == $ID_MEMBER && $row['posterTime'] < (time() - 60 * $maxEditTime) && $settings[7] != 'Administrator'  && $settings[7] != 'Global Moderator' && !in_array($username, $moderators)) fatal_error("You are not allowed to delete your post after ".$maxEditTime." minutes.");

That should work. Let me know if you have any problems.
