Maximun edit time

[Grudge]

why not create a usergroup for people who abuse edit
have permissions for that usergroup restricted to no edit no delete
when someone does something you dont like, throw them in that usergroup

The problem with that is that they'd get a public user-group title in their profile, no? (like "global moderator" etc) Seems kind of embarassing to advertise someone's restricted status (say, "restricted buffoon") to the other members.

Not at all. If you add them as a "additional group", it won't be displayed.

Hey kewl, thanks!

Maximum Edit Time MUST be implemented.
I stress on MUST.

I used to run a tourism related board with pictures posted all around.
Then one member turned sour and proceeded to delete ALL his posts.

I did add it but nothing changed

[dschwab9]

This is a standard feature in 1.1

[raedzaro]

what about 1.0.3

This is a standard feature in 1.1

You will have to wait till 1.1 is released, 1.0.x is feature frozen and doesn't have it.

Find, Sources/Post.php:

Code Select Expand

// Make sure the user isn't spamming the board.
if (!isset($_REQUEST['msg']))
spamProtection('spam');

Add after:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($modSettings['edit_wait_time']) && $row['posterTime'] + $modSettings['edit_wait_time'] * 60 < time() && !allowedTo('moderate_board'))
fatal_error('You\'re not allowed to edit your posts anymore!', false);

Find, Sources/Display.php:

Code Select Expand

'can_modify' => allowedTo('modify_any') || (allowedTo('modify_replies') && $context['user']['started']) || (allowedTo('modify_own') && $message['ID_MEMBER'] == $ID_MEMBER),
'can_remove' => allowedTo('remove_any') || (allowedTo('remove_replies') && $context['user']['started']) || (allowedTo('remove_own') && $message['ID_MEMBER'] == $ID_MEMBER),

Replace:

Code Select Expand

'can_modify' => allowedTo('modify_any') || (allowedTo('modify_replies') && $context['user']['started']) || (allowedTo('modify_own') && $message['ID_MEMBER'] == $ID_MEMBER && (empty($modSettings['edit_disable_time']) || $message['posterTime'] + $modSettings['edit_wait_time'] * 60 > time())),
'can_remove' => allowedTo('remove_any') || (allowedTo('remove_replies') && $context['user']['started']) || (allowedTo('remove_own') && $message['ID_MEMBER'] == $ID_MEMBER),

That will change the meaning of the setting for you.

Will this code work with SMF 1.0.5? I tried adding it and it would not let me post a new message (saying that I could not edit my posts).

Thanks!

I have RC1
looked everywhere and can´t find this option on the cp 

[xenovanis]

Admin -> Post and Topics -> Post Settings -> Maximum time after posting to allow edit

[JustJa]

Ooops..
Thanks 

[Wrightwood]

Admin -> Post and Topics -> Post Settings -> Maximum time after posting to allow edit

What am I missing. We've got 1.0.5. and can't find that option.
There is no Post and Topics option.

[dschwab9]

This feature is only available in 1.1.

[Wrightwood]

Thanks dschwab9 that's what I needed to know !

[szinski]

Admin -> Post and Topics -> Post Settings -> Maximum time after posting to allow edit

Does this setting also pertain to the ability to DELETE a post as well?
