editing timestamps as user level < 5 PART 2

For 1.5.x you have to change the $user_level comparison value in edit-form-advanced.php:

<?php if ($user_level > 4) : ?>
<tr>
<th scope="row"><?php _e('Edit time'); ?>:</th>
<td><?php touch_time(($action == 'edit')); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>

Then make the same mod for $author_data->user_level in a couple of functions found in functions-post.php (wp-includes/ directory):

function user_can_set_post_date($user_id, $blog_id = 1, $category_id = 'None') {
$author_data = get_userdata($user_id);
return (($author_data->user_level > 4) && user_can_create_post($user_id, $blog_id, $category_id));
}

function user_can_edit_post_date($user_id, $post_id, $blog_id = 1) {
$author_data = get_userdata($user_id);
return (($author_data->user_level > 4) && user_can_edit_post($user_id, $post_id, $blog_id));
}

Hacking note: back up source files before editing, and comment your changes for future reference.

Looks like it worked!

With a different author every day, I was under the gun to get this working correctly.

Thank you!!
