Reason on editing

TJK · Post by **TJK** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 10:25 am

I am reposting the question as suggested by stevemaury here.

I am running a subsilver edition of phpbb3 -xand- and I would like to display the "reason" every time a moderator edits a post and leaves a message for the reason. While this is done in prosilver , in subsilver this is not done.

Is there something that can be done about it? What files do I need to edit?

Thank you in advance.

This is what I actually want the post to look like after editing and a reason is given:

Last edited by: ....
Reason: ....

Well the last edited by is by default appearing but the reason is missing. Any help appreciated.

It isn't because of the style. Code would need to be added to the PHP code.

It should be possible if the 'Edit reason' was filled in? That's already there in PHP coding.. So styles could use that, could you provide a link to the 'xand' style?

This is the "xand" style based on subsilver2.

Okay , that sounds like an answer but what file should I edit? Would that be the .php files or the templates and css files within the ACP? Also, what kind of code should be added? I am kind of a little new to php so I don't have that much experience.

Thanks for the answer anyway.

I can't reproduce the problem.

I just installed xand on my test board.
when I click on the edit icon, I get the standard page. I edit the post. I put in my reason for editing.
I click submit.
I return to the post and both the time edited and the reason edited are there just as they should be.

the proper code is in both subsilver2 and in xand.

it does work as it should.

the only thing that should keep it from working is if you changed the code in the html files or if you do not have the proper permissions to see and/or use the edit function.

EDIT: are you sure that you have all the editing settings correct in the admin panel under the Post Settings section?

I believe the OP wants the reason to be mandatory.

I understood it that he just wants it to work in his style which is what he said is not happening.

No, you misunderstood me...
I did not say that the reason is not showing up. The reason, if entered , will show up as it should. That is not the problem.

The problem that the word reason won't show up. For example in prosilver when an edit reason is entered at the bottom of the edited message you see:

----------
Last edited by <username> <date>
Reason: Some reason

while in subsilver you see the following:

Last edited by <username> <date>
Some reason

That is the word Reason is not displayed at all. That is what I would like to add. Every time a moderator leaves a message this word to be displayed. And the question is if this is possible. I guess the answer is positive but I don't know what files to edit.

Yes, I have not changed anything of that and all in all I have not altered anything of the html and css files that concern the editing procedure.

You mean subsilver2's viewtopic_body.html does not have
{L_REASON}{L_COLON} before {postrow.EDIT_REASON}

brf, apparently, the answer to your question is no, it does not.

subsilver2 ( and xand as well ) have this line:

<td class="row2">{postrow.EDIT_REASON}</td>

prosilver has this one:
 {L_REASON}: {postrow.EDIT_REASON}

very strange.

OP: you can fix this by editing that file.

find:
<td class="row2">{postrow.EDIT_REASON}</td>

change it to:
<td class="row2">{L_REASON}: {postrow.EDIT_REASON}</td>

Thank you Lumpy Burgertushie. That solved the problem.
Something else. How do the letters next to the word reason appear in italicezed format just like prosilver? Can this be done or not?

Lumpy Burgertushie · Post by **Lumpy Burgertushie** » Wed Dec 30, 2015 9:19 pm

change that line to this:
<td class="row2">{L_REASON}: {postrow.EDIT_REASON}</td>

notice the  tags that surround the EDIT_REASON variable

Hmm... something else. How do we add the dashed lines just before the

I guess it has something to do with what brf said:

open stylesheet.css add the following to the bottom of the file:

Code: Select all

/* Post noticies */
.notice {
	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	width: 10%;
	margin-top: 1.5em;
	padding-top: 0.2em;
	font-size: 1em;
	border-top: 1px dashed ;
	clear: left;
	line-height: 130%;
}

open viewtopic_body.html

find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.EDIT_REASON -->
							<br /><br />

on a new line after, add:

Code: Select all

<div class="notice"></div>

save and upload back, purge cache and refresh browser.

you can adjust the css to make the dashed line look as you wish.
