Hi, last modified time option is working only if someone replied to that topic or you text a reason for the modification. I want to show last modified time even if there is no reason for modifying that topic. Can that be done ?! How ? Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about the "last post" column in viewforum, or something else?

No, about the option you have at the bottom of a post after you modify a post as an admin or as a user but after someone replied at that post.
It's something like: last modified by xxx at 09.08.2015 , Reason: blablabla.

Go to includes/functions_posting.php and change this line:

Code: Select all

if ($data['post_edit_reason'] || (!$auth->acl_get('m_edit', $data['forum_id']) && ($post_mode == 'edit' || $post_mode == 'edit_first_post')))

to this:

Code: Select all

if ($data['post_edit_reason'] || (!$auth->acl_get('m_edit', $data['forum_id']) && $post_mode == 'edit'))

That should add an edit time to every edited post.

Thank you!, tried it but it`s not working

What do you mean by it's "not working"?

I intentionally left in the check for moderators. If you truly want the edit time to show for all edits, then use the following line in place of the one I provided above:

Code: Select all

if ($post_mode == 'edit')

This will leave a record of all edits, including those by moderators and administrators. It is not something I would ever do on a board, but if you do not trust one of your moderators, this is a way to insure they do not edit posts.

Thank you again for the quick reply but I can`t see any change .
I`m talking about something like this:



But with your code if I edit a topic,nothing happen. Hmmm.. Can the problem be from jquery database mod ? I have no idea.

Just in case you have a MOD that is conflicting with the one-line edit, let's take the nuclear option. Find this entire block of code:

Code: Select all

			// If edit reason is given always display edit info

			// If editing last post then display no edit info
			// If m_edit permission then display no edit info
			// If normal edit display edit info

			// Display edit info if edit reason given or user is editing his post, which is not the last within the topic.
			if ($data['post_edit_reason'] || (!$auth->acl_get('m_edit', $data['forum_id']) && ($post_mode == 'edit' || $post_mode == 'edit_first_post')))
			{
				$data['post_edit_reason']		= truncate_string($data['post_edit_reason'], 255, 255, false);

				$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['sql']	= array(
					'post_edit_time'	=> $current_time,
					'post_edit_reason'	=> $data['post_edit_reason'],
					'post_edit_user'	=> (int) $data['post_edit_user'],
				);

				$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['stat'][] = 'post_edit_count = post_edit_count + 1';
			}
			else if (!$data['post_edit_reason'] && $mode == 'edit' && $auth->acl_get('m_edit', $data['forum_id']))
			{
				$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['sql'] = array(
					'post_edit_reason'	=> '',
				);
			}

One line in the above code will have been changed if you applied either of the modifications I suggested in my previous posts. Additional lines may have been changed by MODs. Replace the entire block with the following code:

Code: Select all

			$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['sql']	= array(
				'post_edit_time'	=> $current_time,
				'post_edit_reason'	=> '',
				'post_edit_user'	=> (int) $data['post_edit_user'],
			);
			$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['stat'][] = 'post_edit_count = post_edit_count + 1';

			if ($data['post_edit_reason']) {
				$data['post_edit_reason'] = truncate_string($data['post_edit_reason'], 255, 255, false);
				$sql_data[POSTS_TABLE]['sql']['post_edit_reason'] = $data['post_edit_reason'];
			}

This will force all edits to be logged.

Thank you!!!. It`s working like a charm but only if I edit the message as usual. If I use quick edit from "jquery database", it doesn`t show my last modified time. Strange.
