I got a question, Dawpi: I didn't test it yet but does the mod update the last time visit of the author topic ?

A member from my board asked me that regarding a Sean's MOD that does the same, on ACP.

And I agree... It's a little bit strang a user 'post' a new topic and your last time visit remains not updated.

[Darkidan]

it ain't a good mod.. what if a sappamer will enter the forum and use this to replace the Author with somebody else.. ?

Arhh, yes, you're right. I might add this in next version ;-) It shouldn't be difficult to add.

No, it won't happen because you can set which groups can user this mod

I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ';' or '{' in /var/www/board/sources/classes/post/class_post.php on line 720

I've done the edits three times and always the same thing.

As a matter of fact, I think you have to update last_post, last_activity and last_visit from ibf_members.

On class_post_new.php, somewhere on your mod:

$this->ipsclass->DB->do_update( 'members', array( 'last_post' => time(), 'last_visit' => time(), 'last_activity' => time() ), 'id='.$this->ipsclass->member['id'] );

Yes, this error is 'correct' because you don't read carefully instruction.

There is:

What do you have in conf_global.php in this line:

$INFO['banned_group'] = 'X';

That line was missing from conf_global. I added it and now it works.
Is it possible to sort the drop-down box alphabetically? Now it's sorted by id, which isn't very practical.

sry. I have translated this modification and when I try it, then it is OK on making topics, but when i want to see the post before i publish it then i get error wuth DB & when i disable this modification then everything works fine.
Could you help me solve the problem?

[Cool Surfer]

Can you add this feature to reply as any member too.? Just like we cna choose the topic starter ...

[Cool Surfer]

This mod SE23_Post_as_Any_Member_1.0 has the option to post a reply also as any member, but
this has to be done thro admin cp, and topic id and ember id has to be posted each time. If the option to reply as any member can be
added the this mod, it would be much easy .
