Clickfinity Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I've just discovered in my test convered IPB3.1.1 site that everyone's "Edit reason" for their edited posts is now on public display!! Is this a setting I'm missing, i.e. can they be made private again (only the owner can see them) ? If not, would it be a good idea to make the import of this data optional? (on the basis that things written in private might have a negative impact if made public!!) Cheers, Shaun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 In IP.Board edit reasons are public. If you want, you could run a query to remove them:UPDATE posts SET post_edit_reason=''; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Is this a setting I'm missing, i.e. can they be made private again (only the owner can see them) ?I think you can do it with a skin edit, so that the reason appears only to certain groups (group ID's), certain people (member ID's) or only to those with ACP access. Or just use the query that Mark mentioned if you don't want to deal with editing the skin. Another alternative is to use the hook that lets you have topic notes. You could then move the edit reasons into the topic notes, though I'd imagine it would take awhile, even if you have several staff helping with it.

Clickfinity Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 In IP.Board edit reasons are public. Ahhhhh, okay, good thing to know. Rather than mess with the code / skins, I'll just tell my membership and moderators (who often put edit reasons related to mod discussions that I wouldn't necessarily want making public) that edited reasons are now public. Thanks for the query too, I'll use that to "reset" them after the conversion ... :thumbsup: Cheers, Shaun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clickfinity Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Thanks, I'll consider that ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Thanks, I'll consider that ... :D Here's another consideration for you. (Pending approval) It'll let you allow only certain groups (and even the author) to see the edit reasons. Additionally, you can set it to show you edits made but were flagged to not show up (hidden edits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abomination Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I didn't even know the edit reasons could be hidden on vb3.x. Everyone can see them on our forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
