Another replacement question

[certindex]

Is it possible to make a certain replacement the equivalent of a -1 template? Such that all other replacement sets will effectively have it in them without having to manually add it to each of them.

[certindex]

Are replacements case sensitive? Is there any way to make them be case sensitive if not?

[certindex]

ok. how can i disable editing ?

[certindex]

well i want a way for people to create an appendage to a post in the SAME post, but without losing the original content. this isn't possible ?

[certindex]

Is there a way to let people append to posts but not edit them?

Is it possible to allow people to attach more than 1 file when creating a new thread?

thanks for trying again. i actually already did my own test and found that vB stores content in the db relative to the time of the server, not GMT. the site's GMT offset is applied at display time. i...

if eva can't answer my question, that's not a problem. what i have a problem with is my time being wasted by someone not knowing how to answer a question i'm asking. i'm sure you can understand

dude look you're obviously not technical enough to answer this question, please have someone else do it.

[certindex]

ya. so if i submit a thread or create a user account or something at 8:00 GMT, in the system it will say i submitted the thing at 8, even though for the time zone the server is in, it may have been 4....

[certindex]

The GMT offset in the vB Options page is used to adjust the time of submitted user content to be as if it was taking place in the GMT time zone, correct?

[certindex]

man that's music to my ears! thanks!

[certindex]

Does vB require this to be set either way? We have it turned off as we're not lazy developers but I wanted to make sure what vB expected as to not break anything.

[certindex]

ah, no.

[certindex]

it does use the template. email_notify or something. also, just because you can't think of reasons why it would be necessary to apply replacements to an email going to a user from a template, doesn't...

[certindex]

Go directly to that. Gives same error on my vB. Shouldn't happen.

[certindex]

maybe how you guys use the replacements are for colours, but not everyone does. some people use them to, drum roll, replace default text with other text. i think this was a very near-sighted decision...

just found it's a vB option, thanks anyway
