I have installed this on my forum (and even a different skin) and it is working wonderfully!

I haven't run across any bugs yet... thank you for the quick response!

[Jeroen B]

Thanks both
I've nearly finished a new version, which adds a new permission and adds a log to the moderator log which tells you that the post time has been changed from the old time to the new time.

I have now updated this MOD. I have added:

• Permission for changing post time
• Add a log in the moderator log after the post time has been edited

to get it working on my installation:

changed includes/mcp/mcp_post.php:

Code: Select all

-$hour = $hour - ($user->timezone + $user->dst);
+$hour = $hour - $user->dst / 3600;

changed includes/mcp/mcp_post.php after "case 'chgposttime':"

Code: Select all

-	if (!$auth->acl_get('m_chgposter', $post_info['forum_id']))
+	if (!$auth->acl_get('m_chgposttime', $post_info['forum_id']))

Code: Select all

	'S_CAN_CHGPOSTER' => $auth->acl_get('m_chgposter', $post_info['forum_id']),
+	'S_CAN_CHGPOSTTIME' => $auth->acl_get('m_chgposttime', $post_info['forum_id']),

changed styles/prosilver/template/mcp_post.html:

Code: Select all

-<form method="post" id="mcp_chgposter" action="{U_POST_ACTION}">
+<form method="post" id="mcp_chgposttime" action="{U_POST_ACTION}">

also moved <!-- IF S_CAN_CHGPOSTTIME --> section above <!-- IF S_CAN_CHGPOSTER -->. Originaly it was inside the last one.

Thanks for your work, but a new version is already in the MOD DB queue for some weeks.
I forgot to update this topic, version 1.0.1 is already available for some weeks.

In that version everything is fixed, also some of the things you mentioned.

the time work for me
but the date no, Month and day are casual, year correct

In my case if I put as Day 8 the post date change in 8+2 = 10
if i put 10 it change 10 + 2

And for the month if i put 10 the month change to 10 - 6

why?

[Jeroen B]

That's weird, which timezone have you set in your profile and which timezone have you set in the ACP?

[Goku ssj3]

[UTC + 1] Central Europe, Italy
also in my profile
I'm italian, which modification i have to do?

[Jeroen B]

I'm in the same timezone as you and I've tested it again, and I'm not having any troubles.
Are you sure you fill in the fields in the right way?

Make sure you fill it in like this, let's say we want to change the time to december 18th, 20:00:
12-18-2010
20:00

(Month - Day - Year)
Let me know if you're still having trouble with this.

Hi, I've got a question: when you change the time of a post does the post move inside the topic (go up or down) or does it stay at it's current place?

Yes, it will change the position of the post/topic
That's also why this MOD will come in handy sometimes.

[Melian01]

Thanks for the quick reply, that's the mod i need then .
