RMcGirr83 · Post by **RMcGirr83** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:51 am

Extension Name: Mark Edited Posts Unread
Author: RMcGirr83

Description:
This is a port of the phpBB version 3.0.x Mod Mark Edited Posts Unread that will set either the first (if it is the only post in the topic) or last post in a topic as unread if edited.

Version: 1.0.0

Download: https://github.com/RMcGirr83/phpbb-3.1- ... master.zip

Installation:

Copy the entire contents of the repository to ext/rmcgirr83/editedposts_unread
Navigate in the ACP to Customise -> Extension Management -> Extensions.
Click Enable.

Github Repository: https://github.com/RMcGirr83/phpbb-3.1- ... sts_unread

This extension is not validated and should only be used on a test forum. If you install it on a live forum and issues arise don't blame me.

Could you please explain more in detail?
So not only the edited post will be marked up?

Not sure how much clearer I can make it. If the first post of a topic is edited, it will be marked as unread for others. If the last post of a topic is edited it too will be marked as unread for others.

It does the same thing as the 3.0.x Mod.

I installed the ext.
It only works if the full editor is used for editing the post (no quick edit)?

In viewforum the topic is not flagged as "unread".

Ah! So if a post in the middle is changed, noting will happen?

It should work for either though I am not aware of a "quick edit" function in phpBB and if a post in the middle is changed nothing will happen.

Sorry, Quick Edit is an Ext.

Assuming the quick edit thingy uses the submit_post function then it will act the same as normal editing.

Ok! Will check!

BTW it is this one I am using:

RMcGirr83 thank you for the response.

This is exactly the model that I was missing!

Hello, thks for your EXT. It's posible not to change the date of the msgs and keep the original posting date?

thks

No that isn't possible as that is how phpBB determines which posts are unread...by the date of the post.

Extension updated to RC

Is it possible to enable this extension for posts that are between first and last?

If someone edits a post on page 3 of a topic, and the last post is on page 5, I'll never know it unless someone quotes the edit in a reply...
