"Post As Update" - Selected by Default

This has been implemented.

I've change up the Item EDIT Forum significantly to where this option is now located directly under the submit button. This should significantly help reduce any "I didn't see it" excuses. This option is now CHECKED as default. Users will need to un check it for Silent Edits.




I've also made it so that the Post Update Message option only displays IF there is an associated discussion thread. Doesn't make any sense to have an option to post a message to a thread when a thread is not associated with the item. This option remains un checked by default to prevent accidental updates to the discussion thread. As before, users have the option of posting their own Custom Message OR by leaving blank, a message will be created for them using the content of the message body of Tab 1.

 

Its a 5 second template modification to make it always unchecked. I don't recommend doing it tho as now you are just making it harder on your members to make something convenient for yourself.

 

The way it is now is the same as a Moderator editing someones post, they have to manually check an option to edit silently. In this case, they need to uncheck to edit silently.

Its a 5 second template edit..

Template: nflj_showcase_item_edit

remove: checked = "checked" from the this line

HTML:

                <li><label><input type="checkbox" name="post_as_update" value="1" id="ctrl_post_as_update" checked = "checked" class="Disabler" /> {xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_as_update}</label>

That line is in this block of template code at the very end of the template (line 5)

HTML:

    <xen:if is="!{$isDraft}">
        <dl class="ctrlUnit">
            <dt></dt>
            <dd><ul>
                <li><label><input type="checkbox" name="post_as_update" value="1" id="ctrl_post_as_update" checked = "checked" class="Disabler" /> {xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_as_update}</label>
                    <p class="explain">{xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_as_update_explain}</p>
                    <ul id="ctrl_post_as_update_Disabler">
                        <xen:if is="{$item.thread_id}">
                            <li><label><input type="checkbox" name="post_update_message" value="1" id="ctrl_post_update_message" class="Disabler" /> {xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_update_message}</label>
                                <p class="explain">{xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_update_message_explain}</p>
                                <ul id="ctrl_post_update_message_Disabler">
                                    <li>
                                        <textarea name="custom_update_message" id="ctrl_custom_update_message" class="textCtrl Elastic" maxlength="2500"></textarea>
                                        <p class="explain">{xen:phrase nflj_showcase_post_as_update_custom_message_explain}</p>
                                    </li>
                                </ul>                   
                            </li>
                        </xen:if>
                    </ul>                   
                </li>
            </ul></dd>
        </dl>
    </xen:if>

 

it SHOULD be (you'll have to test it). AMS is a little more complex at the bottom of the template than SC is (because of the publishing date stuff)
