Edited posts to show in Recent.php

[bedges]

SMF 1.1.10, double post stopper, slightly modified default theme.

I've searched the forum and the modifications section and nothing like this seems to have been done by anyone else.

I've had a request for post edits to show in the Recent Unread Topics/Updated Topics lists. I've traced the lists to Recent.php, but I'm none too confident about modifying the SQL in there.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

How do I ask support questions the smart way?

Please go in to further detail about your problem.

The question is about having it so that edited posts are treated as new for the purposes of the recent list.

The problem with doing it is that the edited time is separate to the posted time. What you might be worth doing is modifying Post.php, and in the insert query, adding the timestamp to the edited time column as well as the primary column, then modify the query in Recent.php to order on the edited time in the messages table, not the original post time.

@Arantor - understood, thanks for the pointer.

I'm actually tempted to write that as a mod, to be honest. I think it might help all around, though that does raise other questions, since in my mind at least if you edit a post you would also want it to be considered unread as well?
