Allowing users to edit their comments + 1 other question Options

[kapangaluis]

Hello again!:

I must to make two questions see if you can help me:

1) There is some way to modify some option so that to each member it leaves the option to him “EDIT” in its own commentaries and thus to publish his post?

2) Since I can make to extend the characters allowed in each commentary? As increase the limit? It is good for changing it or it will affect something in the normal function of my gallery?.

Greetings and thank you very much!

Hi LUIS,

1. I'll post instructions for how to add that mod within the next 24 hours (need to get a bit of rest right now )

2. Nope, increasing the length of the comment body shouldn't cause you any problems. Just make sure you increase it both in the HTML as well as in your MySQL table.

[usr.c]

Try this and let me know if you have problems:

1. Apply the fix mentioned here if you've not already done so.

2. In pic_details.php look for

CODE

showAdminCommentTools($config, $lang, $row);

and below that insert

CODE

showUserCommentTools($config, $lang, $row, $_COOKIE[$cookie_name_username]);

3. In functions/f_global.php look for

CODE

//--------------------------------------------
// getPicturesPath()
// @type_of_path: 0 is internet 1 is server
//--------------------------------------------

and above that insert

CODE

//--------------------------------------------
// showUserCommentTools(): display user options for particular comment
//--------------------------------------------
function showUserCommentTools($config, $lang, $row, $logged_in_username) {
   $orange_box = "border:1px solid;border-color:#FC9 #630 #330 #F96;padding:0 3px;font:bold 10px verdana,sans-serif;color:#fff;background:#F60;text-decoration:none;margin:0";

   //first, add slashes to comments before doing anything with them.
   $row['comment_body'] = addslashes($row['comment_body']);
  
   //if comment was posted by this user, continue
       if(loggedIn($config) && sessionRegistered($config) && $row['comment_author'] == $logged_in_username && $logged_in_username != "" && !adminStatus($config)) {
        echo "<a href='comment_man.php?id={$row['comment_id']}&amp;is_what=comment-edit-form' onclick=\"window.open('comment_man.php?id={$row['comment_id']}&is_what=comment-edit-form','picman','width=600,height=300,resizable=yes');return false\" style='$orange_box'>&nbsp;&nbsp;{$lang['edit']}&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
    <br/>
    ";
   }
}

Save and upload.

That's Works! Thankssssssssss!

Oh oh!!!!!! Problems!!!

The modification worked, that is to say, when a user leaves a commentary, it appears to him the button with the possibility of “EDIT” comment. But there is a problem. When I enter like administrator, no longer they appear the options to me “EDIT” and “DELETE” commentaries of the users.

Where's the problem?.

Did you maybe replace

CODE

showAdminCommentTools($config, $lang, $row);

with

CODE

showUserCommentTools($config, $lang, $row, $_COOKIE[$cookie_name_username]);

instead of inserting the latter one after the former?

[kapangaluis]

Yes!!! Ups! My BIG error .

Thank You Very Much! The gallery now are running and more beauty .

Greetings!

Hello friend:

I have a new problem with this modification. The member sees the button publish (it appears to him), but when it presses in, opens to the new window (pop-up type) to him, but it leaves to him in target, without the dialog box to publish its commentary and to keep it. In which I am being mistaken?. That I have done badly so that does not appear to me?.


I wait for your answer!
