Has anyone tweaked WebWiz to allow a limited form of message editing?

I need to limit the ability to edit either based on time (e.g. within 15 minutes of posting), or just the last post.

This is due to having users that maliciously change old posts to alter their meaning. At the moment we have editing turned off, but there is pressure from users to allow some form of edit ability.


Thanks.

Here is the "fix"


Edit the file forum_post.asp and replace the code on line 1254 ( about, don't have the original code now ) you will find the line starting with

if blnAdmin or blnEdit then
        Response.Write(vbCrLf & "     <a href=""edit_post_form.asp?PID=" & lngMessageID & "&amp;PN=" & intRecordPositionPageNum)
        If lngPollID > 0 AND intThreadNo = 1 Then Response.Write("&amp;POLL=" & lngPollID)
        Response.Write("" & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow""><div>" & strTxtEditPost & "</div></a>")
end if

I have set if(datediff("n",dtmPostDate,now())<15) then to allow the editor only to edit the post within 15 min. 

        'Only let the user edit the post if they have edit rights
        If blnAdmin Then
        Response.Write(vbCrLf & "     <a href=""edit_post_form.asp?PID=" & lngMessageID & "&amp;PN=" & intRecordPositionPageNum)
        If lngPollID > 0 AND intThreadNo = 1 Then Response.Write("&amp;POLL=" & lngPollID)
        Response.Write("" & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow""><div>" & strTxtEditPost & "</div></a>")
elseif blnEdit then
'Edit only within 15 minutes 
if(datediff("n",dtmPostDate,now())<15) then
Response.Write(vbCrLf & "     <a href=""edit_post_form.asp?PID=" & lngMessageID & "&amp;PN=" & intRecordPositionPageNum)
If lngPollID > 0 AND intThreadNo = 1 Then Response.Write("&amp;POLL=" & lngPollID)
Response.Write("" & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow""><div>" & strTxtEditPost & "</div></a>")
end if
End If
