I would like to be able to edit the site news longer than the alloted 1 hour. Is this possible? If it is not possible, why not? Thanks,
Steven.
Greetings, Steven!
1. If you are the admin, you can change your maxeditingtime setting to something longer (this is in the variables section of the admin settings, at least on 1.6.2+) than 1 hour. If you do that, then all people who post in any forum will have that length of time to edit their text.
2. You can also do something like this:
In moodle/config.php file, find the following two lines:
and uncomment the second line (remove the two slashes):
This will allow the admin to edit anybody's post anytime. Note that if the admin edits somebody's post, a message will be appended to that post, saying that it has been edited and when.
3. Or you can simply copy the post, delete it, and add it again by pasting in the old text and editing it. (simplest and maybe best solution anyway!)
At this time (at least on 1.6.2+), I can't think of any way to give certain people or certain forums settings that are different from everyone else's settings.
Maybe someone will come along and tell me differently!
