Chance for a new 'Admin Post Editing' 1.8 ?

[MrBrechreiz]

Here is my version (for 1.8.6)

[DerVVulfman]

Hey, thanks for the reply.  It's pretty close to Zinga's system I can see, and some of the warnings are in German.  Hey, whatever...  Anyone who previously used it would understand that the first warning (line 149) originally rendered "The specified username could not be found!"  And the second batch of warnings for the IP address (lines 162 and 165) both read as "Invalid IP specified".

It works too.  Oh, I gotta remember my timezone and the 18000 (EST Timezone) difference with the Unix timestamp, but I dealt with that before anyway.  And there's the option to add non-registered member usernames too.  

The only issue I have is that I see two Admin Options windows that have the data entry fields, one on top of the other:
+------------------------------------------------+
| Admin options                                  |
|   Edit Timestamp:       _______________        |
|   Post User:            _______________        |
|   Post IP:              _______________        |
+------------------------------------------------+
| Admin options                                  |
|   Edit Timestamp:       _______________        |
|   Post User:            _______________        |
|   Post IP:              _______________        |
+------------------------------------------------+

This was weird.   Oh, and only the bottom one works.  The one by Sama34 didn't show a double window, so I wonder what could it be.  *shrugs*

STILL... this works!

So why didn't the other 4 who downloaded this before me reply?

---

EDIT:  Okay, changes do NOT occur immediately for the whole forum.  Changing the timestamp in the bottom window DOES change the timestamp 'within' the post itself, but not throughout the forum... not the board or index (and subsequently not the forum stats window).  I've had to use BOTH windows to change the timestamp, and even return to re-full-edit the post to hit 'save' again.  After the second or third save, the change to the datestamp does work throughout the forum.  But not on the first edit/save.

I myself have it in use and have been no problems with it.

It must have been something corrupted in the upload.  I re-downloaded it and then re-uploaded, and it now works EXACTLY as ZiNgA BuRgA's original version.

To celebrate, I give you this ZIP version with ye classic file structure and a Readme

This can be closed, though I do welcome Sama34 to continue working on his version.  It was visually appealing.

I will basically add a text box and a form to generate the time stamp if desired, at some point.

I just published my version, it seems to work fine now, I reverted to a simple input for the time stamp and the IP field now works. Fixed some bugs I noticed as well.

Rather odd scenario, posting after all this time.  But I started the thread, so here goes.........

The version by MrBrechreiz works fine, except it is limited in regards of IP addresses.  That is to say, it can handle IPv4 addresses, but not the new IPv6 addresses that are now becoming common place.  Other than that, still an entertaining system in that you can also edit names of posters that re not part of the forum's membership (ie add Guest names).

If it were possible to add IPv6 to MrBrechreiz's version, great!

I went to Sama's github to request the Guest Name editing function.
