request plugin for ediiting

[Former Member]

currently I have a code in v4 which removes last edit by.
It would be great if a plugin could be made to do the same thing?

You're better off doing this via the Templates.

Forum Admin > Home > Themes > Layout Templates

Then go for Thread and select the tab Post List. Find the following code and remove it:

{if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}

Preview to check if it worked and then save.

not worked sorry

[Xikeon]

Works for me. Can you post the template as it is after you removed that code?

[Former Member]

Hi,
sorry it has worked but only after I saved changes, it didn't work before because I only previewed.
Thank you

[Xikeon]

Glad it worked, no problem.

Xikeon, if I'd like to add this code back in, do you know where it is supposed to go? I made the change to remove this code, but I've decided I'd like to bring back the "last edited by" feature.

Line 32-34, so that it's just above the signature code and below post message, like so:



<h3 class="title aria-hidden">Post by $[post.created_by_user.name] on $[post.date]</h3>
<div class="message">$[post.message]</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="foot">
{if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}
{if $[post.created_by_user.signature]}
<div class="signature">$[post.created_by_user.signature]</div>
{/if}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you removed that from your template layouts, it should not be showing.
Do me a tiny favour.. Open a notepad file. Copy your "post list" layout template to your clipboard and then paste it into this new blank notepad file.
Use ctrl+f and search for: edit
Whatever it finds, paste into a post for us. If it doesn't find anything, paste all of your layout template please =0

Will do Stinky666 - as soon as I get a free minute. I did check yesterday to see if it was still there and it was but will do a copy of the post lists for you.

It seems to be a bit of a problem that we are trying to solve on the board as I and another staff members can see when an edit is made and one staff member can't..
