Disallow editing of reported posts.

[tumba25]

Sometimes you report a post and ten minutes late the author edits his post, either removes all or just the offending part. But at those times you might not want to allow that.

This is a short snippet to stop users that are not moderators from editing reported posts. It is really small and there are no setting or possibility to set that at report time. Might improve it at some later time, or someone else does that.

OPEN posting.php
FIND

Code: Select all

   case 'edit':
      if ($user->data['is_registered'] && $auth->acl_gets('f_edit', 'm_edit', $forum_id))
      {
         $is_authed = true;
      }

ADD AFTER

Code: Select all

      if ($post_data['post_reported'] && !$auth->acl_get('m_edit', $forum_id))
      {
         trigger_error($user->lang['NO_EDIT_REPORTED']);
      }

OPEN language/en/posting.php
FIND

Code: Select all

'NO_DELETE_POLL_OPTIONS'   => 'You cannot delete existing poll options.',

ADD AFTER

Code: Select all

   'NO_EDIT_REPORTED' => 'You are not allowed to edit reported posts.',

Nice touch .
I hope phpBB 3.1 comes quick. With that one this change is not needed anymore.

This means even if they delete the post, as long as they don't have the "Can permanently delete own posts" permission, then the post is only SOFT DELETED.
