change topic starter have no option to " 0 " like the edit function Post/Edit As Alternative User.

Is there no input for this or was is not build in?
The two combined is not strange to do, the function is almost similar.

SiNaN thank you for this mod, and BK thank you for maintain the mod
and combine the two in one package.

You can post as "0" to begin with, which will show as "Forum Staff"
However, you can not change a post to "0"
You can change to any other member.

How can I install it on a custom theme?

BurkeKnight · « **Reply #8 on:** December 19, 2008, 03:52:10 PM »

Go to the Mod page, and where you download it, it has a way to see installation for the version of SMF you are running.

Also:

Thank you BurkeKnight,

I was waiting for such a long time for 2.0. 4 compatibility.

As you have mentioned we will wait for it.

Hello,

Glad to see the function merger done officially, as I manually tweaked to get both installed.

Which leads to my current problem... I am trying to back the old versions out, which will require me to manually edit ./Themes/default/Post.template.php to clean out the code. Except, [SiNaN]s original MODs are no longer available, and I can't use the "Manual Install Instructions" to reference.

Any chance you or Blue Dream could remove the code if I attached my Post.template.php file (the other files appear to be accepted without error for uninstall when I test uninstall)?

Grazie

Cal

* BurkeKnight is not sure how the 2.0 version has anything to do with the quoted text..

I am working on a 2.0 version, however, there are issues being worked on, including my PC having issues, and rebuilding it as soon as parts arrive....LOL

Then, dev work on my mods will continue.

Blue Dream,

File attached.

Grazie Mille!

Hello,

Hate to be a bother as this is a favor on your part, but would it be possible to look at clearing the two old separate MODs out of my Post.template.php file? I'm presuming I'll tell both MODs to uninstall, ignore their error on my current post.template.php file, and then replace my existing one with the cleaned up one.

Your help on this is greatly appreciated.

Cal

hi ive installed this and want to know how i can add the option to the administrator permissions please.

BurkeKnight · « **Reply #18 on:** January 19, 2009, 08:31:24 AM »

Administrator permissions are set to all permissions in SMF.
Nothing to set in this mod for Admins.

Unless, it is a 2nd Admin membergroup, and the setting for this mod is only for post as alternative in the membergroup permissions. However, I do say to watch out who you give this ability to.

Cal O'Shaw · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2009, 11:44:46 PM »

Hello,

I appreciate your very kind offer to scrub my post.template.php but I was wondering when you might be able to work on it? I'm holding off on any MODs that want to touch post.template.php.

Grazie,

Cal
