How can I remove/disable the message "Last Edit: [Date/Time] by [User]" after I've edited a post? I would like to disable the message only for admins

Sources/Post.php

Code (find) Select Expand

// Have admins allowed people to hide their screwups?
if (time() - $row['posterTime'] > $modSettings['edit_wait_time'] || $ID_MEMBER != $row['ID_MEMBER'])
{
$msgOptions['modify_time'] = time();
$msgOptions['modify_name'] = addslashes($user_info['name']);
}


Code (replace with) Select Expand

// Have admins allowed people to hide their screwups?
if ((time() - $row['posterTime'] > $modSettings['edit_wait_time'] || $ID_MEMBER != $row['ID_MEMBER'])
    && (!in_array('moderate_board',$user_info['permissions']) && !$user_info['is_admin']))
{
$msgOptions['modify_time'] = time();
$msgOptions['modify_name'] = addslashes($user_info['name']);

There's a mod package for that! http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=982

Just one thing: Use that power wisely. If you use it frivolously and your members realize it, they won't trust you or your forum and they'll move on to more trustworthy sites.

I use it myself but only to edit my huge sticky posts where I have long lists of reference information for my members. I prefer my sticky posts to be "neat" and I don't like the unsightly edit tags in them.

With this modification, if the message had already been edited by the poster before the Administrator edits it, is that previous Last Edit retained, or is the slate wiped clean?

Wiped clean.

You will have to edit via phpMyAdmin if you want to retain the old tag.
