You can do it either way.
But Mark and Gliderdad are on the right track.
If you download it, save the original then upload a edited file.
Then if you hose it up you can just upload the original.
If you do it via the control panel there is not a original anymore unless you have a virgin copy of your install zip file.

But it is a very easy modification.

Bert,

Having SD do any upgrades for you is a smart move if you are not comfortable with such things.

Just remember to keep a log of any Mods to the stock code you might implement so that you (or SD) will know what to do after an upgrade.

A very important thing to keep in mind is that the stock code is undergoing rather radical changes and so a Mod such as this, though still likely possible, may well require editing of a different file, or the appropriate line of code might be on a different line number within the file after an update.

The next release will bring LOTS of changes.

Another consideration is that little Mods such as this one just might make it into the stock code as an option within the CP on a future release. wink

I may have read Mike's post incorrectly yesterday, but I was rather sure that "wild" was "wide" Therefore, he would have had to edit it and chose not to add the "Mark as Edited?"

You caught me grin

Yes, I did fat-finger it the first time and only saw my error after posting. This happened in a short time frame and so I thought I could sneak an edit in by un-checking the box.

Flag thrown for an illegal edit. 10 yard penalty. Repeat first down. wink
