Modify post "last edit" by name

[MobileCS]

I'm using SMF 2.1.4

When a post is modified, and it's not being modified by the original poster, I would like the "last edit" name to show "Admin".

How would I go about doing this?

I was originally messing with Sources/Display.php, but only got this far ... I think I'm on the wrong track?

 

Code Select Expand

        // Is this user the message author?
if ( !empty($output['modified']['name']) && $message['id_member'] <> $user_info['id'] )
{
$output['modified']['last_edit_text'] = sprintf($txt['last_edit_by'], $output['modified']['time'], 'Admin');
}
else
{
$output['modified']['last_edit_text'] = sprintf($txt['last_edit_by'], $output['modified']['time'], $output['modified']['name']);
}
Does the change perhaps need to be made to the database when the post is actually saved? Force the id_msg_modified to be the id of an admin?

If so, how would I go about doing that?

Hmmm, there was a mid that did something like this


But probably display.Template Php

Not the source file, but the output/template file

I checked out that template file again and it only had ~5 lines that outputs what comes from Sources/Display.php

With that said, I did solve the issue by making the changes below :

Sources/Display.php

Code Select Expand

// Is this user the message author?
$output['is_message_author'] = $message['id_member'] == $user_info['id'];

$poster_name = strtolower($message['poster_name']);
$modified_name = strtolower($message['modified_name']);

if ( !empty($output['modified']['name']) )
{
if ( $poster_name <> $modified_name )
{
$output['modified']['last_edit_text'] = sprintf($txt['last_edit_by'], $output['modified']['time'], 'Admin');
}
else
{
$output['modified']['last_edit_text'] = sprintf($txt['last_edit_by'], $output['modified']['time'], $output['modified']['name']);
}
}

Hardcoding text is not good process...
Additionally,  you don't have a check to confirm that the editor is actually an admin...

[MobileCS]

Yeah, my code does not check if the editor is actually an admin. It only checks to see if the post was edited by anyone other than the original poster.

Also, I wasn't aware that the word "Admin" was in the language files, so I changed it from hardcoded to $txt['admin'].
