No worries..

Todge ,

I have one more questions, I have a few people abusing the edit button and do not want to place them in a group as they will notice it.  Is there a way to apply this to just certain members and not groups?


I enabled this but only after doing so it was brought to my attention we needed the ability to continue editing the title of the title of threads at any time.  While we want to stop editing of posts we still need ability to edit titles.  With that said, we have those handful of people abusing edits in general so I guess without having to ask for coding as that would be too difficult or maybe not even possible restricting a few members is better... if you know what I am saying  (lol no coffee yet and barely any sleep)


Thank you again!

There's no easy way to add that function to the plugin, but you can put this at the bottom of your 'Post List' layout...

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var edList = new Array(0,5,10,15);

        for (e=0; e<edList.length; e++)
        {
            if (pb.data('user').id == edList[e])
            {

                $('.edit-button').each(function()
                    {
                        $(this).css('display','none');
                    });

                break;
            }
        }
    });
</script>

Edit the red numbers with the IDs of the members you want to disable editing.

I've seen some posts in the past about this plugin not working on Mobile devices. Is there no fix or workaround this still? Thanks.

No plugins work on mobile devices as it stands, unless they are using desktop mode.

That is to change with the upcoming V6 upgrade.

This plugin will disable the editing ability of posters, except staff members, after a set time.

The minimum time allowed is 5 minutes, so that members do have the chance to change or remove their posts straight after posting. This is a TOS requirement, so please do not ask for this to be changed.

Plug-In
Current version 1.1.91

Direct download

I've installed this on my forums and I can't get it working ewcprez.proboards.com

Can anyone help?

In the 'Placement' option you have listed your threads in the format number/title, ie: 67/mnb-promos

If you are listing theads, then you only need to list the thread numbers, otherwise, if you are listing categories or boards, then you only list the category or board titles... So..

67
30
184
273
337
231

should work..

mnb-promos
fnr-promos
fsw-promos
prime-promos
thunder-promos
pay-view

should work

But..

67/mnb-promos
30/fnr-promos
184/fsw-promos
273/prime-promos
337/thunder-promos
231/pay-view

won't.

[Mac]

Awesome!!! Thank you

I made the change .. but it still doesn't work

ewcprez.proboards.com/thread/40431/test This test post was made and it can still be edited by the person (non staff account)

Not sure why it's not working

Hey, Todge!

I use actual board names on one of my sites and it seems to work. Mac's got a support thread going for this too and I've posted images of my settings here: support.proboards.com/post/7179856/thread

If that's not the right format, I'll see if I can get one of my guys to double check this for me - but, if I recall correctly, I've had one of my guys tell me that they couldn't edit their post after the set time. I'll see about getting a confirmation and get back to you.

Lynx is correct, you need to use the displayed names of the boards/categories.

Sorry Mac, I should have mentioned that.

Todge Lynx - Trying now .. will let you know if this works

Thanks for all your help and support
