Davo,
Thank you for this feedback. It's good to know that config.php is the safe place for setting variables not in the admin GUI.
Two things I meant to emphasize, though:
- I want to leave the normal maxeditingtime in place for standard forums
- By placing maxeditingtime of zero in the code affecting only Q and A forums, the option for students to instantly see the Q and A forum posts of others upon page reload is created, while also eliminating student edit/delete as the 'cost' of seeing others' posts.
Would this functionality be possible through an if{ command in config.php? It seems to me that the config.php route would create a global maxeditingtime affecting all forum types.
