Administration log

[chocho]

In my forum, when I edit any post as administrators, the log is visible to everyone as like- "Edited by chocho"
I want this notification to be shown as "edited by an admin/moderator" unless the user itself edit the post. I don't want to edit log to be invisible.

How can I do that?

The Administration log is only available to Admins as regular members don't even have an "Admin" app button.

or are you talking about the "Last Edit" details ?

Easiest way is to create a user with admin rights named "administrator" or something like that.

Yes

That's not the solution. We are two admin and unlikely to use one admin account.

Then use 2, with different names.

That's how my forum operates - we each have a regular user id & an admin id.  It's safer, too - you don't need to be logged on as admin most of the time.

From what I understood some time ago while searching for the similar thing, you can have history enabled and visible that line to everyone, or not visible history to anyone, including admin, so probably is possible to change text "Last Edit by name" to "Edited by an name", so only logical solution could be using shared account with your friend with name Admin or Moderator or maybe you could create forum account with name Admin/Moderator as the best solution in your case, that is exactly what you wanted. Also you can set on that profile to not be visible on Who's Online list or even should be there mod to completely hide last active on user profile. Doesn't even need to be administrator account, it can be moderator with ability/permission to edit posts and topics for all users.

Not sure if this will work on 2.0.17 but...

This small mod for Admin works on versions 2.0.15 - 2.0.17:
hxxp:dragomano.ru/mods/special-options-for-admins [nonactive]

It simply hides the edit mark.

YogiBear does it completely hide it from all users including admin/user who edited post? If yes, then history can't be tracked?

Hi efk, AFAIK it hides from all except administrator.

Ok so administrator can see edits. It could be ideally if there is some mode to give control so if user have permission to see edits of his posts, see his posts and if he has permission to see edits of others, to see. But not to see that edits are done if he is not the one who should see it.

It would not be that hard....  but even not that hard would be a waste of time, imo, as you are the first person I know of to ask for that...
