By request, this MOD gives admins and moderators the ability to see past versions of an edited post. This has been tested with an Access database, but it is still a beta release. I can't guarantee that it is bug free (though I wish I could). Please post bug reports in the Mod Implementation forum and general comments here.
From the readme:
quote:
This MOD gives an admin the ability to view past versions of a post. Often times, users edit their responses, but there are times when being able to view the original post may be necessary. With this add-on, administrators can view all past versions of edited posts.
Download from SnitzBitz.
Update (2/10/08): Version 0.6b is ready. Fixed a bug in post_info.asp. I was forgetting to re-sanitize data coming from the database before it was reinserted into the POST_HISTORY table.< |

Got around my moral dilemma and installed it. Works awesome. Thanks!
I am gonna see if I can tweak it though so that it doesn't record mod and admin edits. |

This MOD works great. Thanks.< |

Thanks for pointing that out. I will add it to my list of things to check for. Right now I am fairly bogged down, and the Password Salting MOD really needs my attention first, but I will keep this in mind next.< |

Not sure whether this is a bug in the mod, but when you view history of a post with a |list|, the current version is properly parsed, but the old version is not. You get |ul| for the |list| entry, and |li| for the |*| entries.< |

Well, the primary focus is to record the time and contents when someone edits a post but if it's only an admin then that's cool.< |

I have noticed some issues with the times as well. When an admin edits a post, no update to the actual last edit time is made in the REPLY or TOPICS table. Because of that, the POST_HISTORY table uses either the current date (from the now() function) or the entry in the LAST_EDIT field of the REPLY or TOPICS table. I am working on a way to make this a little more reliable, but it will remain as-is for now. Since the primary focus of the MOD is retaining the history of the post, I am slightly less concerned with a timestamp bug that is relatively benign.< |

That's amazing muzishun, it works great but there's one thing:
The first entry in the history had the wrong time for me. Any idea why ?< |

I definitely understand that. My general thought is that unless I have a specific need to view a post's history, I won't bother. Will that always be the case? Probably not; I am sure that I'll occasionally succumb to curiosity. However, I think once the "newness" of the feature wears off, it probably won't even come into play until it's needed.< |

Yeah, there's certainly more than one way to look at it. I would just hate to read something nasty written by a great member in a bad moment, then not be able to forget it.  < |

thelodger. The only change is in post_info.asp. As I mentioned above, the only change is in the INSERT statements, where I put the data retrieved from the DB through the ChkString function to sent it to the POST_HISTORY table.
bobby, I can understand your dilemma. However, I see your example as being a reason to install this, rather than something that would prevent me from doing so. With this MOD installed, there can be no question about what someone says, even if they change it later. That being said, each person should decide what MODs and add-ons are most appropriate to their forum.
Hope that helps.< |

I've been considering this mod for a few days now, but I have a concern. Sometimes members post when they're angry and post things they may not mean, then they edit them to make the post more civil. I know I've done it.
With the icon there, I would be tempted to always look, and I'm not sure that I really want to read something that they thought better of and changed.  I'm sure this is a great mod, I'm just having a little personal dilemma involving pros and cons of it.
Does any of this make sense or am I nuts?< |

Which file have you changed? or is it all of them? just saves me searching.< |
