Hello,
I have made this extension for my forum. But thought to share with you.
When this plugin is enabled, users can't edit there post after the specified duration. You can specify the duration from Settings- > Features section. It only allows minutes. If you want 24 hours then you may write 1440 in the box.
bug reports, suggestions, comments are appreciated.
thanks
Version for PunBB 1.4
post_edit_control.zip — version 0.6
This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for but it didn't work.
I gave the usergroup of my test account permission to edit posts, then I installed your extension, set it to 2 minutes, made a new post, clicked edit and got this message:
You can't edit this post anymore as editing time is expired. If you need to correct anything please report to Admin and Moderators. They will take care of that.
I then changed it from 2 minutes to 60 minutes but that didn't work either.
So I think the times are broken perhaps?
Good work though, I'm excited about getting this working for my forum

ops! sorry to hear that. please pm on thehungrycoder on YIM. I will learn more about the bug and ensure a solution.
thanks
hello dear,
i just tested this on fresh PunBB installation (1.3.2) and I found it working.
So let me check I'm doing it correctly:
- group permissions should be set to allow editing of posts
- extensions settings to 60 minutes
That's what I'm doing but still getting above error code.
Hmm. Let's see if other people install it and have same problem as me.
Thanks

hello,
i have made it on 1.3.2 and could not test it on earlier releases. you can change the minor version setting from menifest.xml file and check. if it works let me know, i will update release.
I haven't look into code at all, but I'm almost sure that it is time zone issue

Would you say my server is at fault, my forum settings, my PC, or maybe the extension?
hmmmmm

thanks for your input. but I did run two installations that are different timezone. but both worked fine. My old (where i built it) is UTC+6. new installation is UTC. it is working in both cases.
thanks

I manage to install it now. But i can't edit a post, because input field is not showing. Period time works fine and is shown in the admin console. It just doesn't show field for editing.
Tnx
Seems to work on my forum.
One suggestion/request: would be nice to "expire" this period once the message is not the last one in the topic.
period once the message is not the
do u meant that u want to disable edit anyway if there is replies after the current post/reply?
Yes.
And thanks for the extension, it's really useful.
Yes.

Hm... something happened... Now when the period is not expired, "Edit" link is still there but when I click on it, I get the "You can't edit this post anymore as editing time is expired..." message

thats cool. as both reported same problem, then i must need to recheck.
thanks for reporting.
Good man
can you please try using it and let me know the update?

thanks
will test tomorrow. thanks for your effort!!
Nothing changed, same problem.
However, when I set the period to 6000, it allowed me to edit.
Kind of weird: at 2:12 I created a message, and at 2:18 it would allow me to edit it if period is set to 1888, while at 2:23 -- if period is 1895.
sorry dude for making troubles for all of you! found the main problem. so far I screwed up with logic. but i now see that $cur_post['posted'] is not what I initially thought. i need to make my own query or change the initial query to include posted field from posts table.
believe to give u a definite solution after good test.
thanks
Yes, in you manifest.xml file parameter $cur_post['posted'] gives posted time for the first message of current topic rather than current message.
Why don't you take a look at YonasH's post_edit_grace_period extension and handle the posted time in the same way?
