IF a post has been edited then it should show up as a little pencil icon beside the post number. We used to get many complaints about showing the information within the post so moved it to a popup. Do you not see this?

I found it. An way to get it back as it was? My users are asking for this feature 🙁 

I searched your code and couldn’t find a function that outputs this info (the editing history) is there one?

in the topic view functions, the template tag is sp_PostIndexEditHistory()…  

so find that template tag call in the spTopicView.php template file…  and then replace it with your code to display the edit history…  $spThisPost->edits contains the data and you can look in the current template tag for how to handle the data…

can I ask you for more help? I suck at this 🙁 I can do some basic php editing meaning I can fiddle with wordpress plugins and themes but these SP themes look a bit different to me. 

original theme code snippet:

sp_SectionStart(‘tagClass=spPostContentSection’, ‘content’);
sp_PostIndexContent(”, __sp(‘Awaiting Moderation’));
sp_SectionEnd(”, ‘content’);

say I wanted to output the text you see when you click the view edit history button straight before this line: sp_SectionEnd(”, ‘content’); what code would I need to insert there? I think it is an array, containing those edits, but I have no idea how to output its contents 🙁

You know something. Both Steve and I have been stupid here! I just checked the code – which I should have done when you first asked – only to find that I had already coded this to be displayed the old way if required!

Fine the call to sp_PostIndexEditHistory() in your topic template and add the argument ‘&popup=0’.

Of course you will need to move the position where that function is called to get it out of the post ‘icon’ section and into the ‘content’ section.

works perfectly, thank you very much!

Great.
Off though. I was smart enough to code it that way and yet dumb enough to forget I had done it!

sorry, one last question: the current code:

sp_PostIndexEditHistory(‘tagClass=spButton spLeft&popup=0’, ”, __sp(‘<span class=”edited”>Edited by %USER% on %DATE% </span>’), __sp(‘View edit history’));

does show all edits. can I modify it to show only the last edit?

:faceplant:

forgot myself we had allowed the option for not in popup…

I do not see a way to limit the info to the last edit…  looked at code this time

I know we used to do that, so we should probably support it now too…  but it should be doable without an explicit template tag argument…

problem for me now is I cannot get it to show (or save) more than the last edit…  so need to do some research…

okay, there was a bug with saving of post edit history…  have corrected that…

while in there, I modified the template tag so you can specify the number of history to show…  just add count=x where is the number… 0 means all and is the default…

Is there a way to delete the edit history in the sp-admin? I don’t mean delete the pencil icon, I mean, start from scratch with the edit list when you click on the pencil icon. Thanks.

We have no tool as such that can do this currently. It is something I can add to the long lost of requests although as the only user to ask – as far as I am aware – it would take a low priority.

It would take a simple sql query to clear that data if you wanted to do it at the database level.
