UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? Edited by - block

Is there an "Option" somewhere to chang ethe deault for the "Edited by" block from "on" to "Off"?

I would rather have thye users marked when something important has changed, rather than a spleeing error.
In fact the "FAQ" suggest that you only mark large changes.

I believe it's just straight html in the editpost template file.

I've snooped around and found a in the coding of the editpost template, the editpost-inc-php and other modules.
But I can't be sure any of them will remove the deault "CHECK"
One of the modules had this code:
if ( $user['USER_ID'] == $Postedby ) {
$markeditselect = "<input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"1\" name=\"markedit\" checked=\"checked\" class=\"form-checkbox\" /> {$ubbt_lang['MARK_EDIT']}<br />";
I think the checked=\"checked\" does it but only on the "if condition" is true.

Any other ideas???

That's the right spot. In the current version the only time you get the box to choose to not mark it as edited is if you're the user that made the post.

So if I, as Admin, edit a message it will always get marked??
What think I'd like it so that if I'm editting my own message the default choice would be not to marked and if I'm Admin or moderator have the choice to mark.
But the default would be not to marked it.
The space is there on the form, so it's not an extar line or anything.

That change is coming for 7.1. From the changelog:

10-20-2006: 7.1 Feature Change: Modified the edit script to allow admins and moderators to choose to not "mark post as edited" when modifying a post made by another user.

Thanks Rick. I must have missed it when looking around.
