UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? "Edited By" Message

Aside from ubb_edit_post.cgi:

sub perform_edit {

And ubb_lib_posting.cgi:

sub prep_for_edit {

Are there any other files or sub routines I need to check to modify the look?

For half a year I've had it as:

What I've noticed is that sometimes when users edit their post twice, instead of one edit message appearing they'll get two. If they edit three times they end up with three "Edited by" messages instead of just one.

Here is how I modified it (ubb_edit_post.cgi):

$message .= qq(

*$vars_wordlets{edit_wording} $edit_date by $pubname*);

And in ubb_lib_posting.cgi:

$message =~ s/()?*Q$vars_wordlets{edit_wording}E [^][]+ by [^][]+*()?$//gi;

**These are 2 (new) modifications I did a few minutes ago. I don't know if it will work or not without repeating "Edited by" messages.

I made yet another adjustment and so far it's working:

in ubb_lib_posting.cgi:

and in ubb_edit_post.cgi

After several tests when a user edits a post multiple times the edit message doesn't stack...Meaning it only shows up one time, as it should. I hope it continues.

BTW...Great job on the UBB [code] tags. They indent now.

Charles? I noticed that when HTML is turned off + displayed names with characters of "[ ]" only seem to get the error of raw html codes displaying when Quote and Quick Quote is applied or when the posts are edited more than one time. Posts that are edited more than one time has the "Edited by..." displayed more than once with the raw HTML codes.

Only nicks with characters [ ] cause errors such as:
Is there a way to fix this? If so what would I need to do?
