I tested it at my forum in development (www.eilandenrijk.com), it works as expected

[ghisler(Author)]

$post_data['first_post'] is what I was looking for! I will try it out first with the beta forum, and then add it here too.

christian, can we underline or otherwise highlight the links on the forum? it's really hard to find where they are...

[Sheepdog]

what board style do you use? With Subsilver the Links are indeed underlined and coloured blue.

[edit]

Oh I just see: They are only underlined if I hover with the mouse over it.

i use
phpvb2

i only see if sth is a link if i hover on it and it becomes pink which is really annoying.

$post_data['first_post'] is what I was looking for! I will try it out first with the beta forum, and then add it here too.

Found a small error, for 8 days timeout you should use 691200 seconds I think...

Code: Select all

// 8 days timeout --> 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 8 days.
         if(!$post_data['first_post'] && (time() - $post_info['post_time']) > 300691200) 

should be

Code: Select all

// 8 days timeout --> 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 8 days.
         if(!$post_data['first_post'] && (time() - $post_info['post_time']) > 691200)

[ghisler(Author)]

That's correct, in my code I use ( $post_age<86400*8 ).

[corny]

how much is 86400*cool?

Did you implement it already in the mainforum?

[ghisler(Author)]

Hehe, stupid smily creator 8+) =

Yes, the 8 days limit has been in the main forum for quite a while, and the editing of the first post was re-enabled just recently.

[corny]

I see you also made a change to the template, so that the edit button is not shown uberhaupt. Can you point me this change? I really like it!

[ghisler(Author)]

Here is the modification to the relevant part of viewtopic.php. Just search for the string
$images['icon_edit']
to find the correct location, it's the edit button icon.

Code: Select all

	$post_age = time() - $postrow[$i]['post_time'];
	$is_first_post = ($start==0) && ($i==0);

	if (((($post_age<86400*8) || $is_first_post) && ( $userdata['user_id'] == $poster_id && $is_auth['auth_edit'] )) || $is_auth['auth_mod'])
	{
		$temp_url = append_sid("posting.$phpEx?mode=editpost&" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $postrow[$i]['post_id']);
		$edit_img = '<a href="' . $temp_url . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_edit'] . '" alt="' . $lang['Edit_delete_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['Edit_delete_post'] . '" border="0" /></a>';
		$edit = '<a href="' . $temp_url . '">' . $lang['Edit_delete_post'] . '</a>';
	}
	else
	{
		$edit_img = '';
		$edit = '';
	}

Don't forget to add a similar check to posting.php, otherwise users could submit the post directly with some tricks.

[corny]

Thanks, I implemented it directly. Above, I made the number of days a configurable setting
