Yes that's what I thought at first but reading Zorro's post again it means that only Admins are invisible editors and everyone else shows up.

Yes, you're right. But when you turn off this feature in CP, it will be turned off for ALL users, not only for admins. So, my one is only for admins

Oops, MJB was faster

no, in the cp U can only turn it of for _all_ users...

btw, I also did this hack, but it used Scotty's hack for 5.xx... then its like that:

Code

code:

This way, all admins, and the moderator of the specific forum won't get that message

Oh, didn't know you've made already one, JT. Think, your one is much better

I know what you mean zorro, some people just dont understand, if its off then its off for everyone, if its on then its on for everone, god are somepeole thick or summat!

Great hack anyway zorro, it worked for me...

I like this one! Thanks

So this one works on UBB 6.0 too?

Hi,

a little change ...

Code

code:

Thanks JezusWS, but what should i replace with your code? JT's hack? Zorro's hack? or the original ubb code?

Yes, replace my hack above with Jesus's Hack...

Sometimes you cant trust your moderators, so I have modified the code to work only for Administrators.

Code

code:

Code Master, I just tested it and with that code it looks like Moderators can still edit posts with out the NO EDIT line.

Hmm, I dont see why it wouldnt work. If you are testing it yourself.. I.E. signing up a new account that is moderator only, make sure you log out and re login as the moderator to test it.

Other than that, I wouldnt see why it would work for moderators.

I tryed this on my ubb6.01 and it only works for admins not for mods

Is there some other code i could use that works?

Is there any way we will get a completed hack where the installed can choose to leave this message for admins or moderators or both? I'm not demanding, just curious.

Hi,

sorry I didn't responde such a long time, but I had to do a lot for school and so I were very busy...

I'll finish this hack tomorrow... Please be patient

Cya

Zorro, when will it be finsihed? Can't wait any longer

I will release it in a few minutes...

Please check my first posting then & report any bugs, thx.

Cya

4. Version: Removes the edited line for ALL admins and ALL mods.

On my ubb6.01 this only works for Admins not for Mods

Wait a moment, I'll check this out...

Okay, I found the error: Before it worked only when the moderator was a mod in the forum in which he edited the post. But when he edited now a post of his own in a forum where he is not a mod, the edit line appeared.

So I updated the hack, should work now. Please test it, cali3d, and gimme feedback. Thx

Hey guy, I used Version 3 and can only say, it works perfectly for me. Thx Zorro!!

Thanks Zorro now it works great!!

Great.

Thanks, this works great...

Hey, since this is now named the "Ultimate Edit Hack", would you consider adding in a few new features from a hack with the exact same name for the 5.x series to help make this complete? I believe it was by Scud Muffin a loooooong time ago.

1) Remove multiple "edited by"'s, when a user edits their message more than once.

2) Strip the edit text when they view the text box to edit their message more than once.

3) Make the edited by text smaller than reguler text. It does look much better. The HTML does not appear when editing of course.

4) Incorporate the time add-on into it, instead of just the default date.

If you do choose to do this, it would be truly "Ultimate".

Thanks for these suggestions!! If there's time left for this at the weekend, I'll include these features!

[ April 06, 2001: Message edited by: Zorro ]

That's excellent.

When will you finish, Zorro?

[ April 06, 2001: Message edited by: Methodman ]

Hi,

I have finished already. I'm still testing it, but everything seems to work very well. You can download it by viewing my first posting in this thread.

I added these features:

Edit Time feature
Better look of the edit line
Removing of multiple edit lines

Please gimme further feedback about it and report bugs. Thanks

YESSSSSS... Zorro, you're the best

Have installed the new version 3, works great.

THANKS!!!!!

This is a great mod thanks!!!

All works well except if I edit a message (being admin) that a user has edited twice ormore then when I have edited it displays how many times they have edited it...

Any ideas

Maybe it was written before, but there is a bug in QUOTE:

Thanks a lot for reporting this bug, LK!

It will be fixed within the next hours...

Okay, the bug has been fixed.

Please download the updated file again and update your board to the new version. Users of version 3.0 only have to hack the ubb_new_reply.cgi, the rest is the same.

Zorro

Thanks

But it fixed only one of them, now it's:

[ April 15, 2001 07:47: Message edited by: LK ] instead of LK)
It happens only when I edit more than once.

[edit]But it doesn't happen here...[/edit]

[ April 20, 2001 10:42 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

I'll have a look at this when I come home this evening...

Oh, nevermind, it's because of a change I did before I installed this mod

[ April 20, 2001 10:47 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

I couldn't let you alone and checked it out right now.

I tested it in my board, doesn't happen there. I think you have hacked the files wrong or my hack is in conflict with other hacks.

Please hack your files again and gimme a list of all hacks you use in your board. If possible, please also provide me the URL of your board so I can have a look at it.

Thanks.

Actually, before I saw this hack I wanted to create my own Edit hack, but as you can see I made a "little" mistake and after I tried to edit it there was this problem, but I didn't see it

But Installed: AIM/ICQ Hack v6, EditHack v3.1, Last Post Info v1.1, Last Reply By v2.02, NewsFader v2.0, PM on First Page beta 1, Rate Topic v1.1a, Statistic Hack v0.95, Hits hack (by easy) v1.07, easy's two addons, Active hit and Summary hit, Advanced UBB Code hack v1.1.1, Who's Online v3.2, Who's Online Addon v3.0

Thanks for this great mod

Oh, I see... But I'm glad it works now for you...

Hey Zorro, can you include a function that shows how often a message was edited?

Would be really kewl

Okay, I'll add this feature... ummmmmm... tomorrow

Got sime time now, I've finished with coding the main routines. I still have to include some file deleting functions, so I'll finish it tomorrow.

May I call it then really "ultimate"?

Very Nice

Work Good!!

Hey Zorro, when will you finish? It's already 23.4.

Hi,

I didn't forget you, Hacky!

I recoded the whole hack, so it works now much better.

Here's a screenshot:
http://www.hosting-server4.com/Hacks/Ultimate_Edit_Hack_Beta_4.jpg

But don't ask for beta, you won't get one.

Still have to do the deleting routines, but that should be no big deal.

Perhaps I can finish this evening, we will see...

Zorro

[ April 23, 2001 11:22 AM: Message edited by: Zorro ]

Looks pretty cool

Yeah, I agree.

Really great job, Zorro.

So when should we expect the final release? This is a really good hack, I am impressed. If I only had the skill some of you had, I could make one awesome board. I am more of a thinker than a solver. I'm matched up with two pretty good minds though. Anyway, back on track here. Final release?

Tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. Really.

The code is finished, compared with version 3 it's a lot more. It has been tested for several hours today by a friend and me, it worked perfectly. Also the deleting stuff is finished, works super. The only thing I still have to do are the deleting routines for the CP. Cause my server was down for a few hours, I couldn't test them. Tomorrow version 4 will be released, I promise.

But I've got also plans for version 5, 6, 7 and so on.

Oh, I love this guy of thinkfactory who translated the board into German. He made a terrible mistake in the CP, so there's a huge bug and that's the reason why the CP routines didn't work. Now I installed the English one, there it works perfectly.

So, there are only left the installing instructions.......

So when can I get it?????

Zorror u are a great code modifier hehehe . Believe or not i installed your hack within 1 minute and no error no mistake nothing ......The most simplest hack I ever came across...thankzzzzzz

Version 4.0 will be released today as I promised. There's only one little bug left in the CP which I have to fix this evening. Then it will be available for download.

Zorro

Hi,

Version 4.0 is released.

It has got a great new feature: Now you can see how often a message was edited.

Download the hack in the first post of this thread.

Please report bugs and gimme feedback cause it's a lot more code than version 3.1.

Hmm what extra code do i add to this hack to allow Mega Mods to also edit.

I've install the hack using the 4th version to allow only Mods And Admins, this works fine but when a mega mods try it, you can see their name..
Thanx

I'm not sure of, but please try replacing in ubb_edit_post.cgi the line

by this one:

Code

code:

Of course, you have to replace "MegaModerator" with the real title you use in your board (e. g., "Super Moderator").

Lemmie know if that worked...

[ April 24, 2001 11:59 AM: Message edited by: Zorro ]

I did that the first time and it didn't work.

But i've looked at what you've posted and i saw the error
you put
($user_profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator'))
I put
($user_profile[8] eq 'Mega Moderator'))
I placed a Space between Mega Moderator DOH
And yes m8 works a Treat Many Thanx...

Great!

Version 4.1 released

Only small update: Support for English, German, French and Spanish added.

Hi,

I want to have a hack, that makes only admin-edits invisible. The rest may last as it is in UBB.

What do I have to change then?

Zorros hack is too big for me...

Thanx & Bye
Schrapnell

@Schrapnell:

Wieso denn in englisch?

Also, versuch mal das hier:

ubb_edit_post.cgi öffnen

Suchen:

-----
$message .= qq(

[ $edit_date: $vars_wordlets{edit_wording} $pubname ]);
-----

Ersetzen mit:

-----
if (($username ne '') && ($stat_line[1] !~ /X/i)) {
if ($user_profile[0] eq '') {
@user_profile = &verify_id_num($username, $password, $user_number);
}
chomp($user_profile[8]);
if ($user_profile[8] eq 'Administrator') {
$message .= qq();
} else {
$message .= qq(

[ $edit_date: $vars_wordlets{edit_wording} $pubname ]);
}
}
-----

Sag Bescheid, ob's funktioniert hat.

Hehe... Thanks

Hi Zorro :Da mein Englisch immer missverstanden wird(siehe Login.cgi-thread,du lachst dich kaputt :D),mal in deutsch:

Also:Könntest du den Hack so umschreiben,dass die Admins übers CP einstellen können,bei WEM die editline nicht angezeigt wird???

Ich weiss,das wird eine große Aktion,aber würde sich doch lohnen,oder?

Hui, würde den ganzen Hack natürlich total umkrempeln, ist aber ein guter Vorschlag.

Im Moment bin ich aber auch noch beruflich mit dem Hacken anderer Boards beschäftigt, daher hab ich ned allzu viel Zeit im Mom, aber freu dich schon mal auf Version 5, da wird das dann auf jeden Fall drin sein

For all English speaking people: [GLX]SNES asked me if I could add a CP interface for this hack. Cause I think other people are also interested in this feature, it will be available in version 5...

Cu
Zorro

Kewl,danke...Ich lass die v4 dann draussen und warte lieber...

PS:Beruflich?Du bekommst kohle fürs boardhacken?*neidischguck*

Hi,

hehe, was hab ich da nur wieder gesacht?!

Jo, ich bin am Woende noch mit einem größeren Update eines Boards beschäftigt (Update UBB 5 -> UBB 6 / neues Design / Einbau von etwa 40 Hacks), dass das nicht ganz kostenlos ist, versteht sich wohl von selbst.

Als UBB-Hacker hat man schon nen gesunden Stundenlohn, wenn ich das mal so sagen darf.

Danach werde ich mich dann aber an das CP-Feature setzen, versprochen...

Cu
Zorro

Boah!Wer will denn 40Hacks in sein Board

Hab grad mal neun drin und das war schon arbeit...Naja,ich halt dich mal net länger auf...Und freu mich schon auf die neue Version..Aber keine Eile!gibt noch genug andere hacks zum einbauen

gotta love my dictionary

I'm sorry for talking German...

Think we should go on with talking English, SNES, or LK will have no chance to come along with his dictionary!

Nor worries, Zorro. Did we miss anything important?

Great hack by the way. Very easy to install.

No, no, you dindn't miss anything important.

SNES only asked me if there'S a way of getting a CP interface for the hack, so I told him to wait for the release of version 5. It will include it...

Zorro

When I looked at version 4.1 of the hack, I see that it is tested for 6.04b. I was wondering if anyone has tested it for 6.04c because I just recently upgraded to 6.04c (which I might add was a ***** when adding older version hacks) in any case, if anyone has tested it yet for 6.04c please let me know.. thanks!

Yeah, I tested it.

Works

Ello all,

Could i get a lill help please...

I have installed the hack:)
iam a lill

With this bit..

if ($pubname eq "YOUR_NAME") {
$message .= qq();

So i put my username here fine ,but what about the other admins/mods/megamods...

When i edit a post it worx fine,but when another admin/mod/megamod does it shows there name?????

Please help...

BTW great lill hackkk
Thanx...

Please read the instructions carefully, thanks!

(Perhaps you should first decide which version of the hack you want to use........)

Stuck... Someone had the same problem and asked me for help in this thread. Please read ALL pages of this thread before asking questions, thanks. If there are still questions after reading everything (I can't imagine ;)), THEN you may ask for help.

Thanks for understanding, but I don't want to post everything 100 times here.

One more pleasure: Could you please remove the code of my hack you posted above? It's enough if you say that you used version 4.

when using this hack with preview post hack, each preview counts as new edit

Will this work at all with 6.03?
What is the lowest ver. it will work with?
And I am not clear if this will work with post preview or not?

[ June 07, 2001 06:22 PM: Message edited by: Garaelb ]

I added the code and for the most part it seems to work....
However I have noticed the following errors
http://www.cybersoapbox.com/csbcgi/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000011

the edit count is not increasing and when editing as an Admin/Mod it does not show as being edited at all?

What do I need to do to correct this
edited to add it's working now...gremlins fixed it I guess

[ June 07, 2001 07:33 PM: Message edited by: Garaelb ]

Example? - how about this one? [admin]

Great Hack!!!

Hey Zorro, great hack. I'm in the process of installing this right now and had an idea that might make things a little easier. Of course, you said you had plans for a version 5,6,7, etc already, so you may have already thought of this. On Version 2 of this, for multiple people, instead of having an if statement with a bunch of 'OR's, maybe we could have a variable file somewhere the hack will look at to see who to hide edit messages for. That way we don't have to edit a cgi file everytime we want to add someone. Thanks for the hack.

[ June 11, 2001 11:51 PM: Message edited by: Ramirez ]

Hi there... I'm new on the 'hacks' scene, but this is the second hack I've encountered a few stumbling blocks on...

I'm using UBB version 6.04c, using hack version 4.1, and I'm trying to find edit_wording => "Message edited by:", in vars_wordlets.cgi

but instead, I get...

edit_wording => q~Message edited by:~,

I was trying to do the MegaModerator hack earlier, and came across problems (it wouldn't allow me to register new users, for one), so I don't want to... improvise.

Thanks!

link is broken! can someone post a new one?? really need the hack.. thanx

Yes i could use this one to!

*sigh* Seems like the site where the hack is located is still down.

I know someone posted this before, but since that was over a week ago, I thought I'd ask too.

If anyone else can put the hack on another server to download, it would be much appreciated.

Thanking you.

Anyone please post this hack.....

great, thanks

Thanks Zorro, this is a much appreciated hack!

I hope you'll consider porting it to 6.1 once it's released.

If anyone still needs this file, you can grab it from the permanent link below.

https://www.ubbdev.com/mjacob/hacks/ultimate_edit-v4.1.txt

Permanent link my arse

It must have been deleted, PM him. And watch the launguage.

Heh, I always wondered why you didn't have a permanant archive of all hacks? It's so frustrating finding a hack I'm after, only to find it no longer exists, and has a 5 page thread with people saying please put up a working link, followed by a new link which doesn't work.. etc etc.

Probably because there are only like 5 people with v6.0

Edit: did you know your server doesn't support Y2K? for example you registered in 1901 instead of 2001

Also, 6.05 is VERY old and buggy - everyone can crack it.. I suggest you to upgrade.

Hi

Spent part of the day in here looking, not sure if I am using the right name for it.

I need an editing mod or hack ASAP. That will stop someone from editing posts old than with a flex setting of say 7 or 14 days. I don't want to turn off editing for everyone, just not allow them to go back to every thread they posted on our site and delete or edit any that are older than what I set it for.

Is there one? Or a way to make this one do that?

Thank you!

[email protected]

anybody got a version of this? I really want to set this up on my 6.3.1 if somebody has a copy of it.
