Remove Post Edit History (from within postbits)
Mod Version: 1.3, by MarkFL

This simple mod allows you to give certain usergroups the ability to remove post edit histories via a button to the left of the edit history data. Clicking the button will execute an external script that removes the post's edit history from the database, with a redirect message confirming the action taken. Both the redirect and the button's tooltip are phrased, and can be found by seaching in the phrase variable names for "markfl_rpeh".




Version 1.1:

• Fixed error where multiple buttons would be displayed for threads having more than one post with a post edit history.
• Added setting for usergroups who can remove their own post edit histories.

Version 1.2:

• Fixed reported multiple button issue.

Version 1.3:

• Bug preventing button from appearing on any page of a thread except the first fixed

Note: If upgrading from version 1.0 to version 1.1, then there is no need to re-upload the external .PHP file packaged in the .ZIP file.


Tested and working on VB 3.8.9 and may work on earlier 3.x versions of vBulletin.
