As I said at invisionize.pl, excellent mod. :)

For anyone who is wondering, you can turn off systematic deletion if you want by disabling the relevant system task. This wasn't mentioned in the description at the time of writing.

Notable Bug!

The "History" button disappears on a post if there is a post before it in the thread that is in-line "soft deleted" (i.e. using the "Remove From View" option).

Example:
POST 1 (edited) - history button appears
POST 2 (soft-deleted)
POST 3 (edited) - history button disappears

Therefore it can be a hassle to determine if there are post edits (or to view said post edits) for a post that has soft-deleted posts preceding it.

Please fix!

Another bug I have just noticed while confirming the above.

Whenever I reply with quick reply, the ajax loaded post shows "History (2)"

Just to say that I have now fixed the bug I was having and I also fixed +++'s bug with soft deleted posts.

It took quite a re-write of the button hook, so I cant post it up very easily. Pavulon87, maybe you can PM me and I will send you the modified version + explanation.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.

Also, this is not a bug, but I would really like for the author to consider this:

In the previous version, since the "History" button was on the bar at the top of the post instead of its current location, it was possible to click on that button for soft-deleted posts as well.

However, in the current version, while a post is soft-deleted, the button does not appear.

So if you could also keep the button in for soft-deleted posts, such that post edit histories may also be viewed for posts while they are soft-deleted, that would be fantastic. Thanks.

The problem with soft deleted posts is that the hook point doesn't exist. So it would mean either a setting to move it completely or a lot of coding to vary the hook point for soft deleted posts. I will take a look though.

Ok, I'll check what is the problem with soft deleted post.

Fast bug fix with Alex help. Also button in soft deleted posts should be available.

Is it enough to upload the files or do I need to reimport the hook also?

You should be able to just reimport the hook, files are unchanged afaik.

I think you might need to re-import the hook.

Reimport is required but nothing should be deleted.
Current history might be removed only during uninstallation.

Hi Pavulon, just a quick request, could you add an additional class to the <ul class="post_controls"> thats wrapped around the history button for soft deleted posts?

e.g. <ul class="post_controls post_history">

It looks kinda screwy in the skin im using, so I need to add some css rules.

Thanks.

Done.

How do I re-import the hook?

Just install it one more time without uninstalling.

Great mod.

Qestion: Does it keep history of posts changed by moderators or only history of the user's posts that owners made?

It does not matter who edits the post. History of all editing is stored.

can this mod be extended to allow members to save draft copies of posts before they are posted?

eg:

[save draft] [more reply options]

I think that it's rather an idea of the new hook than new feature.

ahh, given your knowledge on this current hook, I didn't know if it could be added as a feature or whether you would be able to write a new hook for "save draft post/pm" ?

I know a few people would be interested :)

Maybe after the Christmas (and the new year) I'll take it, but I'm not promising anything.
I'm taking some free time from coding :D

Hiya

Is this compatible with 3.2.3? For some reason, I can't see the history button at all, although I've followed the installation and configuration instructions. The button just isn't there, even in the default skin.

it works on mine, multiple skins.
