Remove Post Modified (Last Edit) Time

[rsw686]

Link to Mod

This mod allows an administrator to remove the last edit time from a post. It places a "remove this line" link next to the last edit time.

Thank you, rsw686!

Good mod!

Thanks for the mod, it is a more practical approach for the feature than what I've seen so far. But I don't think I'm getting it to work, unfortunately. I'm on 1.1.4. No link is showing up. This applies to both previously-edited posts and also posts made after the installation of the mod through the SMF admin interface.

If your not using the default theme you need to copy/paste the code into your theme's Display.template.php file.

Find

Code Select Expand


if ($settings['show_modify'] && !empty($message['modified']['name']))
echo '
« <i>', $txt[211], ': ', $message['modified']['time'], ' ', $txt[525], ' ', $message['modified']['name'], '</i> »';


Add After

Code Select Expand


// Allow admin to remove last edit time
if($context['user']['is_admin'] && !empty($message['modified']['name']))
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=removemodified;msg=', $message['id'], ';topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.', $context['start'], ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', $txt['remove_modified'], '</a>';

You have also to edit the $languagedir/Modifications.your-language.php.

All the mod does is remove the last edit line of text from the bottom of a specific post. For that post it sets the values for modifiedName and modifiedTime to null and 0. It looks to the viewer like the post was never modified.

You have also to edit the $languagedir/Modifications.your-language.php.

I have added the following line:

Code Select Expand

$txt['remove_modified'] = 'Post modification tag has been removed.';

I've also made the addition to Display.template.php in my theme. I still don't see a link next to the modified post tag.

Hi,

do you only have a Modifications.english.php?
If your theme has a language folder, copy the Modifications.english.php into it.

Please excuse my bad english!

[rsw686]

The "Remove this line" link will only show up if you are an administrator.

Package manager gave me a

Manual mod was dead easy, though.

Thanks, RSW!

Hello there all,

I just installed this today and I don't have a link to do anything either.  I am running version 1.1.4, it is a fairly new installation, and I am using the default template.

What should I do to get this to work?  Suggestions or advice welcome.  Thanks!

[ssnickerer]

Yes, rsw868, I am an admin. I've added the lines in Modifications.english-utf8.php and Display.template.php . Not functioning. Does anyone know what's going on?

[ssnickerer]

sorry - bump.

Can anyone offer anymore troubleshooting?

You would have to apply the modifications from Display.template.php to the Global Announcements Display.template.php section. You would also need to copy/paste the database edit function in RemoveModified.php so that it updates the global announcements table.

Basically a rewrite for the global announcements mod. This would probably best be made as another mod to be installed after the Global Announcements and Remove Post Modified Time mods.

Works like a charm. . .
