We just launched a new Drupal site at www.thecubreporter.com and I wanted to disable registered users from editing their own comments or setting a time limit on it. I found this patch:

http://drupal.org/node/54788

and tried to apply it. I did it manually since it wasn't much code and outdated.

The permissions showed up appropriately, but when I went to the comment settings I received a fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in...public_html/modules/system.module at line 1077.

I'm not a programmer by any means and was hoping someone could help me figure this out. I'm running Drupal 5.7 and did contact the author of the patch, but says he's not doing any programming anymore. Obviously I re-loaded the comment.module that comes with drupal 5.7. I'm open to other ideas to solve the problem as well.

Thanks in advance...
Rob G.

I develop a beta module, edit timer, this module let the user edit your comment only 30 minutes before post. You can download from here.

Not what I was looking for, but thank you.

I need something more customizable like the patch described above.

Look into Comment Permission module. It´s in dev, and has some minor issues, but I think it´s what you´re looking for.

BTW, I think patching core is a really, really bad idea.
