Ez4arab, I read about this in another message posted by you. I will like to have more feedback on the Mod before enhancing the existing features or adding more features.

There's a glich in your MOD, there's no edit icon in topic.asp and in active.asp, but what about forum.asp and search.asp?
zbenggg noticed it in forum.asp

David K, I think the glich is in somewhere else. Please try to know the forum code better. Check it again and make sure that you check it yourself.

the first part (active.asp and topic.asp) is the way it's supposed to be!

i think if I am not wrong, you need to add table in the database call it STRALLOWPOSTEDITING otherwise it will not work. you don’t mention do this


[INSERT]
CONFIG_NEW
(C_VARIABLE,C_VALUE)#(' STRALLOWPOSTEDITING ','0')
[End]

Ez4arab, You are not required to do that. It will be created automatically via function SetConfigValue in inc_fumc_admin.asp

This is an excellent mod idea & very much needed. I love the edit feature, but it can be, and has been, abused. Do you anticipate any tie-in to membership duration? Or, the ability to assign the edit/delete privilege to individual members ... something along those lines?

Thanks for working on this & providing it here!

I like this MOD, but:

quote:

Features:

Allows/Disallows Editing of Posted Messages. (completed)

Allows/Disallows Deleting of Posted Messages. (Planned)

without the Allows/Disallows for deleting posts, what is the point, I mean I could just delete the post, and write a new one. Seems kind of "semi-useful" but thats just my opinion.
