Edited notice will not appear until this many minutes elapse. Set to zero to disable.
Ours is set to zero, but it still appears when changing other user posts. This used to work, but now that we have 6.6.1 it does not.
We modified the code to make it work ... not interested in continuing our maintenance, as the features being added do not seem to have that much of an impact with us.
ALSO - Flood Protection does not work properly.
If you fail to put in a subject, and you get a msg that you did not enter a subject, and then you fix the subject and press Add New Topic, it tells you that you have to wait 30 seconds ... that does not seem right either. It should only stop you if you have SUCCESSFULLY posted a message within 30 seconds.
Please do not report bugs in non-current versions. If you have found a bug in a previous version, please upgrade to see if the bug has already been fixed. Please be sure to include the URL to your board in your bug report.
>> Please do not report bugs in non-current versions. If you have found a bug in a previous version, please upgrade to see if the bug has already been fixed.
There is a list which clearly indicates what changes and fixes are in each version - this is not mentioned. There is no need to go through the hassle of upgrading only to find the fix was not there.
> On the first one, I believe that it will show it for Admins and Mods regardless of the settings.
This is not the case of what the option says it will do. If a moderator corrects the spelling or grammer error of another moderator, it makes the company look bad ... you don't want this to show. It will also make one moderator look like the other does not know what he is talking about, etc. To keep the posts professional (as we need in our case, as we are running a company board), we cannot have "EDITED BY" ever appear. This worked just fine in previous versions until we upgraded to 6.6 -
> The second one, I'm guessing the flood check is only detecting the POST operation before validating the form contains valid data.
Yes, this IS the case ... however, there is a timer variable which holds the time of the alst post ... and just compare it when the post occurs AFTER validation. Checking before validation is not proper.
1. Post 2. Check validation 3. Check Previous Timer Value 4. Write to file 5. Store timer value in variable
It seems the system is setup as:
1. Post 2. Check Previous Timer Value 3. Check validation 4. Write to file 5. Store timer value in variable
Just moving the logic will correct the issue.
In terms of the first option - we need the ability to remain to simply not have that message appear, ever, especially if a moderator changes another moderator.
> # If you wish to prevent admin / mod edits of # messages from having the edited message, # comment out the following line: $appender = $string;
Please tell me this is a joke .... commenting out source code to make an option work properly, or as labeled on the screen.
It used to work before we upgraded. Now it no longer works .... so commenting out the source code every version is the answer? This is ridiculous.
The system was set previously not to do this - it started happening immediately after we upgraded. The feature on the screen clearly says "Edited notice will not appear until this many minutes elapse. Set to zero to disable."
It is set to ZERO and it is not disabled. If it has been modified because of another request, it affects us ... so just have another checkbox after it that says "Disable for moderators and administrators too" - or whatever.
That's right, it is. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The original functionality of the edited message not appearing at the bottom of messages when admins performed the edit was viewed as a bug, and fixed. I intentionally left a hook in the code so that it would be easy to revert back to the old behavior, as we knew that the minority of users prefered the old behavior (including a few on the beta testing team). We did not want to make this a control panel toggle.
Generally, yes. However, in this case, the feature operates as designed, intentionally. It is not our general belief that there should be a control panel preference for it. The same goes for the 16+ other hidden controls in the code. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The floodcheck issue while making a new topic has been resolved in 6.7.1. The floodcheck will occur after any topic subject validation. I'll post back here with a revision number once the fix has been checked in.
How about a miscelanious section (yeh i spelled it wrong, so what) with the heading "you forefit support if you activate these, their here for general customization needs"... Then you can have it and not have to worry abou them <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ..
I'd report it as a bug that my board still shows the edited by notice with it commented out, but theid tell me to unmod my board <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ...
