Unlimited edit of 1st topic post in a single forum

[dukof1]

Hi!

I want to set unlimited edit time for all 1st posts in any topic of only a single forum.

I have made up one suggestion below, but I don't know if this code is correct or will work, or if it's safe. As I have no experience with php coding language. I would really appreciate some help on how to make this work.


Suggestion:

I was planning to hard-code in the forum_id for the one forum where I want this feature. How would I get this "forum_id"? In the link it says "f=45", is that simply the forum_id? And could I just put that into my code directly?

Are there other files or places I would need to modify..?

posting.php, Find:
// Can we edit this post ... if we're a moderator with rights then always yes

Change below:

For viewtopic.php, you would need to place the code higher in the file. Put it before this line:

[dukof1]

Thoul,

Thanks for your response! Good to have some confirmation. I will then try it out on my forum and see..

Yes I meant 45, poor writing by me

cheers!

Nice work, Jeremy.

And welcome, dukof1. Did that do the trick for you?

Thanks,

Patrick
