Edit date

[Blisk]

Is there a working mod for editing a post date?
I need that because some post with older date I like to show it again on portal!

[oxpus]

Yes: http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/883

[Blisk]

I had this MOD installed, but doesn't work, it does not change date.
I check the author and he said he will not support this MOD anymore.

[oxpus]

Hm yes I see, this mod is really old

I'll code a new one, because this mod isn't compatible to phpbb 2.0.11 or plus 1.5.2. Changing into a compatible one will be the same work as creating a new one...

[Blisk]

If you have some spare time, because it is usefull, for portal news, or maybe you have some other idea how to put old news on portal again.

Okay, let's go: http://www.oxpus.de/downloads.php?view= ... =315&cat=1

I installed it, but doesn't work, it doesn't edit post and a line on post is like on pic.

Attach your viewtopic.php and viewtopic_body.tpl to take a look.
Here is the error. You can't open the popup until the error there isn't fixed.

OK, let me know if I did some mistake.

::little offtopic::

I use this simple script for it, saved as a single php-file.
The only disadvantage is, you have to change the date in mysqladmin by hand.

Code: Alles auswählen

<?
echo "<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"t\" maxlength=\"2\" size=\"2\">.
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"mo\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\">.
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"j\" size=\"4\" maxlength=\"4\"> -
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"h\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\">:
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"m\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\">:
   	<input type=\"text\" name=\"s\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\">
   	<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Abschicken\" value=\"Umrechnen\">
   </form><br><br><br><br>";

if($t || $m || $j) {
	$timestamp = mktime($h,$m,$s,$mo,$t,$j);
	echo "<b>".date("d.m.Y",$timestamp)."</b>:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;". $timestamp;
}

echo "<br><br><hr><br><br>
	<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">
	<input type=\"text\" name=\"ts\" size=\"14\">
	<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Abschicken\" value=\"Umrechnen\"></form>
        <br><br><br><br>";
if($ts) {
	echo "<b>$ts:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".date("d.m.Y - H:i",$ts);
}
?>

Sorry didn't understand!
What can I do with this file convert_date_time.php.txt?

Very helpfull for beginners
But usefull for advanced users, too, sure.

At the otherside my script displays the timeformat like the userformat (as possible) for a better time editing. And the script will not only save the timestring for the post time. It also checks the post edit time and the topic time!
Not easy to find it manually in the database

[Blisk]

aha, Sorry my mistake I thought that you sended this file (OXPUS), but it was someone else
didn't know what to do, I thougth that have something with files I sended (viewtopic.zip)

[oxpus]

Okay. Nothing wrong, you've just insert the code in viewtopic_body.tpl at the wrong place.
Here the fixed file:

[Blisk]

Wau this looks very cool.
Nice MOD.
But on my forum in some topics works in some i get this error.

No post ID was specified

[oxpus]

Wau this looks very cool.

Nice to read this ^b

For the error please an example...
The script will read the post id from the url which is created by javascript.
If here are errors on the js you will be get errors. Or the post id will not be set in several topics.
When you have a bug in your viewtopic.php like here: http://www.povej.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3165
The post id is here alltimes "0"! Opening the topic with this link: http://www.povej.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=30245#30245 , the post id will be set.

Here your fixed viewtopic.php...

[Blisk]

TNX, for fix.
This is really great mod, now I can show on portal some old news.


now I did tested, it is interesting thing.
When I change date, it happends something but at the top of the post, where the edit link is, date doesn't change?
Only when I click Edit date again it is strange date and time which I didn't setted.

[oxpus]

Refresh your browser after editing the time.
This should be done automatically by the mod but not all browsers will do it correctly.

[Blisk]

I did refreshed, but still the same.

[oxpus]

Okay, I think there's a litte bug in the popup. I think I know where. I just must test it out...
I'll check it as soon as possible.

[Blisk]

OK, you do not need to hurry.

[oxpus]

No, I don't hurry, because the error was to ... {no comment}
Here the fixed file.
The mod also will be fixed.

[Blisk]

Great, now it works OK.
You should release this mod now.

[oxpus]

You should release this mod now.

Already done

I notice 1 thing.
When I change date of post it moves to the top, but on portal still doesn't move at the top. The idea of changing date of post is to move post to the top!
