Would it be possible to exclude moderators and admins from this?

That is the default operation. Mods and Admins are already excluded.

if i change the 3600 in the posting.php to just 60... will that make the mod then operate in minutes rather than hours?

Throckmorton · Post by **Throckmorton** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 4:57 pm

Yup, sure will. You might also want to change hours to minutes in the two occurrences in language/lang_english/lang_main.php as well, so you don't get confused later.

Alternately, you could just use values less than "1" to represent shorter time limits. Setting the value to .5 would give you 30 minutes. Setting to .1 would be 6 minutes, and so on.

Can this be turned off at all??

I was hoping to install this mod... but what happens if I decide I want to allow editing later on??

Yes, it can. From the control panel:

"Set to zero to completely disable post editing. Set to -1 to disable the mod."

Hi,

Is there was way to do this for only one specific user?
We've got this one user on my board who will edit his posts/thread to say "delete me" after he finds the answer to a question he was asking or whatever. Makes it very annoying to try to maintain a clean board

Thanks!

No, there isn't, sorry.

Do your other users regularly have a need to edit their posts after a while? Maybe you can just install the mod and see how it works for you. If you have problems with other users you can always disable (or uninstall) it later.

I've tried this mod...installed and updated sql.

It works but...i can't change the value in the ACP, it is actually complete empty.
When i try to fill here a value (let's say 2) and hit submit it says everything is fine, but when i check the value the little box is empty.

The part that works is that editing post is completely disabled for users

The sql action is default a value 4 and changing it in MyphpAdmin to -1 does not disable the mod so my guess that the solution is to be found in the reading of the database....only where exactly i don't know

Help

problem solved!

The first time i performed the sql in phpMyAdmin, after deleting the line in phpbb_config and updated again through a update.php file the mod worked fine.

May I suggest that the time check in viewtopic.php to limit edits also be applied to limit deletion of posts?

Say, like this ...

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
                if ( $userdata['user_id'] == $poster_id && $is_auth['auth_delete'] && $forum_topic_data['topic_last_post_id'] == $postrow[$i]['post_id'] )
#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
&& $is_auth['auth_delete']
#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
 && !$edit_time_expired

this mod is conflicting with the "save as draft" mod. Once the hour has passed, people can not access their drafts. any ideas?

wow - the suggestion by nfs (2 posts above) works great to restrict post deletion time.

I spent last 3 hours looking for a mod to do this but couldnt find any - so finally gave this suggestion a try & it works just great.
