Hello:
This might be a Little Off Topic for here?
But is there a way to just set the amount of time a Member is allowed to Edit Topics & Post? Like maybe 30 minutes or so.
I don't really want to stop them form editing all together, just placing a Time Limit would be good enough?  |
Thank You for Your Time!!!!!

One more step toward making this one of the most useful forum management tools out there! Thank you, once again ... will implement this shortly.
One more thing - and I don't know how easy this would be to do - would be to allow an administrator to select specific posters to restrict in this manner, rather than have the limit across the board. My forum - though it wasn't always Snitz - has been up for going on 7 years. Some of the users have been there for that long. They are trustworthy. I would prefer, if it were possible, to allow them to continue to edit at will ... almost allways, when a poster edits, it's simply to correct a typo, or the like. They might be browsing, months later, and notice their error & want to fix it. In the case of "proven posters," I'd like to be able to continue to allow this.
It's just the "unproven" and/or "compulsive" editors - who have a habit of editing content, which Rui, I believe, has pointed out often makes later replies senseless - that I would prefer to throttle.
Still, as is, a great mod! |

You can use the memberpostcount to allow these members be able to edit. You can do something like this
if ((AdminAllowed = 1) or (TMember_ID = MemberID and strAllowPostEditing = "1") or (MemberPostCount > [NUMBER])) then |

If I already have made all the modifications to date, prior to this addition, which files do I need to re-do?
Thanks ... |

Well, I think I've sorted it out ... I'll see if anyone encounters any problems.
Regarding:
"You can use the memberpostcount to allow these members be able to edit. You can do something like this
if ((AdminAllowed = 1) or (TMember_ID = MemberID and strAllowPostEditing = "1") or (MemberPostCount > [NUMBER])) then"
That might work in some instances, however, number of posts doesn't always translate into a reliable poster. Being able to specifically target either posters who are NOT allowed, or posters who are, to edit/delete would be good.
Anyway, this is a fine mod, as is!

| You can assign a Title to that member and use the Title comparison. Those who installed this Mod earlier need to change admin_config_features.asp, config.asp, post.asp, post_info.asp and pop_delete.asp |

1. No
2. Yes
<edited>
However, Maxlength for Time limit Text Box is set to 4 so the max minutes you may be able to enter is 9999.
If you want to allow edit/delete for unlimited time then put 0 in the Time Limit Text Box.
