Doublepost Prevention Plus

[Vitaly]

This branch is no longer supported. Please, use this product (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233878).


This is complete rework of Xenon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96602) mod, that's not supported for a long time.

Difference:
No problems with quickpost & AJAX
Attachments supported
Easy groups ignore support
Hooks for customisationWhat this mod do:

If user creates 2 sequent posts in a short time, those are merged. That helps to keep your forum clear and prevent topicks bumping.

Setup:

Just import product and change necessary settings. No any edits required.

If you limit posts edit time, it's recommended to make merge time === edit time.

PS. Should work with 3.7.x too, but tested only with 3.7.4.

[buileminh]

Sound better than old one

[Robru]

Thanks for sharing this :)

[Leo Brazil]

Could you describe a little better how it deals with IMG and attachemnts ? e.g. Does it consider number of file on permissions or it the second post (the double one) has IMG or attachments merge are not made ?

Preventing equal post duplication is embedded into vB, and this feature is left intact. This mod goal is to merge DIFFERENT sequent posts of the same author.

Merged post = Old post text + separator(optional) + New post text.
Merged attachments = Old post attachments + New post attachments.

I'm not shure, that understang your question.

Merged post = Old post text + separator(optional) + New post text.
Merged attachments = Old post attachments + New post attachments.

I'm not shure, that understang your question.

I got your idea, specially on the second situation you mentioned. What happens for example if Old post has 3 attachements and New post has another 3 different ones but I have a 5 attachments set as a limit ? How about IMGs ?

[RedHacker]

If install this product and quick reply will be set automatic and saw one post or refresh and one post...?

[Vitaly]

If install this product and quick reply will be set automatic and saw one post or refresh and one post...?

If post is not merged, then AJAX will be used, with no full page reload.

If post is megred, then page will be refreshed via redirect. It's the same, as if you try to do quickpost not from the last thread page, you can check :)

That's acceptable tradeoff to have mod with no code edits and compatible with future vb releases. I hate mods, that require code edits. That's a big headache after each vb upgrade.

Attachments will be megred with no limit control (i suspect that's not a big deal, if you have global limit for user group :) ).

Then post is "reparsed". I'm not sure, but if IMG limit is checked in parcer, then result will be the same, as if user try to excceed IMG tag limit in first post. The same for smiles count limits. You'd better to check yourself.

thanks m8 i cant believe something like this is not built into vb as itshould be standard. Marked as installed

Any tips how I can not make effected this to any thread opener on their threads?

Sorry, I'm a bit limited in time to provide help with coding. Just do "what should be done" for my project, and share results with community.

[projectego]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. :)

[redlabour]

Tested it now for a couple of Hours - absolutely excellent - no Problems!

[mad@Max]

Thanks, but on 3.8 AJAX don't work:(

[RedHacker]

I dont saw before post and after time... :(

[Vitaly]

Thanks, but on 3.8 AJAX don't work:(

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1734037&postcount=8

It should NOT work, if merge happens. And works in other cases. Not a big deal.

[redlabour]

???

Thanks, but on 3.8 AJAX don't work:(

Don?t know what you mean. :confused:

Everything works perfect at me with 3.8.1.

[RedHacker]

I dont saw any message and time....

[RedHacker]

e.g

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1701887&postcount=1052

[Vitaly]

This will not be ever added into post text, because it's impossible to make a correct time look for different time zones. May be, "edited by" field can solve your problem. If not - then I'm sorry.

[mad@Max]

I disappoint. In my turn, i hate when the page is reloaded:)

[RedHacker]

I dont understand.... :(

[mad@Max]

How about: Added after xx time (sec., min., hour)

[RedHacker]

Edit message put "Double Post" and all its ok with time and excellent job Vitaly..!!!Thanks very much.....

[Vitaly]

How about: Added after xx time (sec., min., hour)

May be... At least, sounds reasonable.

Personally, I consider all those kind of separators and "edited by" - completely useless noise. But if I'll do future fixes for this mod, I'll try to add this.

Can't promiss, that it will happen very soon, because I have to polish another mods first. Migrated from IPB to vB in december 15 and still have a huge number of urgend things to do.

seems to be working good to my vB 3.6.8 PL2 board...

i have problem with mod Smilies in Quick Reply. I show two couple of smiles. How i can resolve this problem?

[ragtek]

one little tip

you could also check in the "cache templates" plugin for THIS_SCRIPT and just cache it, if it's needed;)

No ideas, what you mean. Please, provide detailed description of steps and (if possible) - screenshots.

[Rene Kriest]

Well done! Thank you for your addon.

Suggestion:
Could you pls include an option to disable this mod for specific forums? Sometime it is useful not to merge every new posting.

[Vitaly]

Thanks for notice. That's not critical, so i'll upload fix later. Don't like frequent changes :) .

May be later... can't promiss for sure. But there're hooks, that can be used by addons. For example, I have custom product "trade area" (too specific to publish here), ant it sets different merge time on some forums.

[dannykilla]

thanks

I agree with you. But it was a nice to have for everyone who wants it.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Did you request permission from Xenon to use his work?

[Slugger00001]

woot last night , I was hopeing for a better version then the other one, my hopes have come true!

[Vitaly]

Did you request permission from Xenon to use his work?

Are you joking? I've used this feature for ages at IPB. vB doesn't have it and doesn't had hight quality coded addons to solve this problem.

What permissions are you asking about? Links to Xenon's mod exists, because some things can't be done in another way, but his product is outdated and a bit useless. And nobody cared about proper solution for 2 years.

[davidw]

So the answer is no, you did not request permission to use his work?

What permissions are you asking about? Links to Xenon's mod exists, because some things can't be done in another way, but his product is outdated and a bit useless. And nobody cared about proper solution for 2 years.For example, kind of like the comments and phrases in there that are identical to Xenon's mod?

If a mod is outdated, unless permission is given, it is not reason to just fix and release. When an author creates a piece of work, that author holds the copyright to that work unless given permission to allow someone else to use it, whether it be marked re-usable, or given verbally or written.

[nexialys]

hum, did you make the same assumptions when Paul M released his own version (used here!)...

[Vitaly]

Davidw,

My native language is Russian, and my English is not good enougth. If you think, that english letters and phrases are copyrighted, it's not a problem to change. I hope, anyone will help me.

I own project, linked in my profile. And I have full time hired programmers too. I'm not sure, that there any kind of "copyrighted work", that i need to use to solve my problems. I can't be hired for money and I'm able to share my hight quality work for free, without asking any gratices or benefits. Link to Xenon's mod was given to better explain, that this mod does.

If you think, that my publicathion violates some rules - remove it. That will be a headache of community, but not mine. My time is a bit expencive, to spend it for unclear copyright complains.

[redlabour]

If you think, that my publicathion violates some rules - remove it.

Anyway - as i remember - there was a permission from Xenon in his Thread long ago for everyone how want?s to use his Code to make further Updates.

And he tolds me the same nearly 1,5 Years ago via PM as i discussed with him if there will ever be an Update from him when he was still online here. But sorry, i didn?t have this PM still in my Account here in vb.org.

Xenon wasn?t online here at vb.org for Years/Month now. It is impossible to contact him again - IMHO.

Maybe it is possible for PaulM to give Vitaly a Way to contact Xenon (because PaulM wrotes he has become a personal Permission) so Vitaly can ask Xenon again?

Anyway again - like i know Xenon i can?t believe he has any Problem with Vitalys Rebuild/Distribution of this new Mod:

* No problems with quickpost & AJAX
* Attachments supported
* Easy groups ignore support
* Hooks for customisation


I guess this Differences are a small bit more creative and copyright worthily then the other Functions of Xenons first Try to make a Doublepostprevention Mod. ;)

phrases in there that are identical to Xenon's mod?

Sorry, but how to use other Words for simple Things like this Mod does? How can Words that explain some Functions copyrighted? :erm:

That will be a headache of community, but not mine.

This is something i agree completely with .... :(

[Black Tiger]

I mark installed for the time being. Thanks!:)
However I'm interested in what's the difference in functions/options between your hack and the one PaulM released. That way I can make a better choice.

[bluecolored]

PaulM does not implement the old ACP-Features of Xenon.


Individual Edited By Message


And this one will merge Attachments.

[Vitaly]

I don't like to make public competiton and features comparison. It's not polite, because everybody release it's work fo free. All my mods are based on my personal needs, and sometime more general options added, when that doesn't take a lot of time.

Just read description, look screenshots, test on you site and make your choice.

[trickfly]

How is this diff to the original one ?

[bluecolored]

@trickfly - read the Firstpost:

Vitaly - anything new about the Forum excluding Function? ;)

[Vitaly]

That's already included in next version. Sheduled release in ~1-2 weeks.

[Alfa1]

Does this add-on play nice with the 'Live Topic' hack?

[ericdesmontagne]

Good job. Very easy to use.
Thank you !

[Vinyljunky]

Thank you

[trickfly]

works great, but is a bit slower than if it was off

[trickfly]

[ericdesmontagne]

An other feature should be that when there is a double post, message appears or not as new reply to be shown at the to of list

[Forum Lover]

That's already included in next version. Sheduled release in ~1-2 weeks.

Any luck to include my request in your next edition? :) I was asking for an option not to take effects on thread openers, remember! :) Thanks in advance.

To add new feature one of conditions should be satisfied:

This feature is useful for myself at my project
This feature is useful for many forum owners and is "easy" to implement.Your request seems quite specific. If i'm not right, you could provide more details about typical use-cases, to explain, why this feature is requied not only for you, but to the whole community.

An other feature should be that when there is a double post, message appears or not as new reply to be shown at the to of list

Could you provide more details? What's wrong with "bumping on"?

[ericdesmontagne]

I don't know... i can't see in the configuration module the option to activate ou desactivate thi function...

When we answer to our own message, it can be useful to bump on or not ?

My english is poor to explain what i want to say :( sorry

[ePrOmD]

Hello ericdesmontagne

I don´t know if I understand your query. go to configuration options under admincp, where
almost all the hacks are, vBulletin options, near the end you´ll find Doublepost Prevention.

To disable the product, you have to go to the administration -
> Plugins & Products-> Manage Products, look for Doublepost
Prevention Plus and find the option to disable inside drop down menu.

In options you can specify whether a unified message function
will be bump or not. If your question is whether it is useful to have that option, I sure say yes.

[mmblz]

would love to see two features in the next version:
1. ability to put date/time of new post in the separator
2. option to keep new post on its own if the total number of images in the merged post would exceed the forum limit

already a useful mod though!

Exactly you are right.

The reason I am asking, some forums, they share images, or any subject based threads, what they do is, they use first 10 posts at threads content (I know this is typical, just to increase their post counts.)

Some times, there are something promotional too. :)

[mikey1991]

any way to exclude this from certain forums?

As in, have it on all sub forums but not on your spam forum?

[Simon Lloyd]

[redlabour]

Same for me

[Vitaly]

Just wait for next week, until new version released. The goal of next release is a serious improvment of basic functionality, but some popular requests will be included to.

[Simon Lloyd]

You are very generous! :)

[paintballer.ie]

does this work with live topic ok?

[Vitaly]

Everybody welcome to test new beta!


What's new (added to previous version):
Social groups support
Splitter with bbcodes and relative time (no problems with time zones)
Forums exclusion
Full AJAX support (Yeeeaaaah!!! Found a sweet solution)
Controls attachments count
Relative time translation via addon (for languages with non-english semantics)(*) Current addon required ONLY for russian language. If you use english and so on - install only the main product.

[Vitaly]

Those, who tryed beta - please, download it again and reimport. There was a bug, that caused "out of memory" error in IE.

[GCSkye]

Not using the beta, but a lot of times when I post with the current one I get the following:



Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to your post. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.

Any idea why?

Using 3.8.1

[Simon Lloyd]

Not using the beta, but a lot of times when I post with the current one I get the following:

Any idea why?

Using 3.8.1Because you have redirects turned on in vb options.

[Vitaly]

Version from first post uses redirects for merge. It's written in description. Just upgrade to "beta" if you wish 100% AJAX.

[Stingray27]

I tested the beta, and it doesnt add the delimiter, even though its set on for forum posts.

[Vitaly]

It doesn't add delimiter if post is merged in short time. Check lag time for history saving. If it's time to save post history - then delimiter will be added. If not - then delimiter skipped as useless.

That's done intentionally.

[Stingray27]

Sorry, but if I set the delimiter on I expect it to be used, always.

[BigDog56]

Works with images, what I needed. Thank you very much!

[BlueNinjaGo]

I just installed it on my forums... 3.7.3 in about 20 seconds (including downloading, importing, and configuring) and it works 100% with no additional changes.

Thanks!

[nNJ]

I'd like to report a conflict with another product.

When using this product with Inferno vBShout Lite, the double post prevention system does not work.
(The conflict only occurs when Thread/Post reply notices are enabled in Inferno vBShout Lite's options. Turning this feature off eliminates the conflict).

When both of these products are enabled, (and Thread/Post reply notices are turned on), when a user double posts, he or she is redirected to a white page displaying the word "flood" after posting a reply.
In the actual thread, the second post is merged with the first, but it is also posted in a second post.

Example:
Post 1
Post 1 Text
------------------Posts Automatically Merged---------------------
Post 2 Text

Post 2
Post 2 Text

Tested and Confirmed on vBulletin v 3.8.1 PL1, using Inferno vBShout Lite version 2.5.0 and Doublepost Prevention Plus version 1.3.

*Conflict occurs using both quick reply and normal reply.

Thanks,
nNJ

Edit:

The conflict seems to stem from the Flood Control/Prevention feature of Inferno vBShout Lite. I am attempting to contact the author of this product but he has not been online since September 2008, and his website is offline.

[Vitaly]

No ideas. You can try beta:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1756333&postcount=78

[bigcurt]

Thanks a ton for your work on this mod bud. OK, well I am basically looking for a "bump prevention" mod instead of doublepost. However, it should work the same way maybe. What I am wanting to do is say one usergroup is allowed to bump ( or in this case, post without it being merged ) once every 12 hours and another usergroup is allowed to do it every 24 hours...is this possible with this mod?

Thanks again bud,
Curt

[Vitaly]

No. But you can write a plugin, that overrides mod settings depending on user group.

[bigcurt]

Ya, I might look into it and see if I can write it myself ( unlikely ) or see about paying someone to do it. Thanks bud.

[RedSpiral]

How do I change text size (when it merged) cause at the moment it is too big :S

[obmob]

Sounds promising, hope this works, last time i tried something similar was a bust :P
Thanks for sharing

[JohnBee]

Tried beta on 3.8.2 and it does not add text delimiter

[mariocaz]

Hi Vitaly,

Which ones are the biggest differences with the mod of Xenon ???

I want to install you mod in my 3.7.6, is working fine in this version, right ?

Thanx!!

[mariocaz]

anybody ?

[mariocaz]

helpppp!!!!

[mariocaz]

hello!!!

[bigcurt]

Mariocaz,

You might get a better answer by trying to explain your question more. As far as I can tell, the Xenon mod was basically DOA for the newest versions with tons of bugs because Xenon has not been around to update. This is a complete re-design of his code I do believe. This mod does work with 3.7.6.

[mariocaz]

Ok thank you so much for the information, I will install it!

[pablete]

I have installed this hack but I see that the post is doubled, ie it binds to the user's previous post but it comes under a new answer and I have to delete that message not to leave duplicate.

you can not avoid it somehow?

[scottevtv]

Nice. Can you make a mod that deals with Necrobumping. Basically I have been looking for a mod that can help me, but as far as I know no one has made one yet.

The way the hack would work would be as follows.. You would be able to set a time that a post would have a cut off date. Let's say you set it to four weeks. Posts prior to a thread that has been posted on in less than four weeks would get bumped to the top as normal. Any post after the four week cut off would still get posted as the next comment on the thread, however it would not bump the thread to the top of the list. It would really be awesome if someone could make this. It would really help out my site. We have to give infractions to members that try to bring back one of their old thread. If I could set a cut off date, it would fix this problem. Well, thanks and let me know if you or anyone else could help me.

[Se?or Ramos]

How do I remove the smilies in quick reply from showing up twice?

[ShadowStalker]

Thanks for the excellent mod. Works fine!

[spankaveli]

i really wish someone would make a mod like this but allow selection of which subforums it would affect :(

[buryka]

Спасибо Виталий!, работает в 3.7.3. Небольшое замечание: в Опере (возможно еще в каких-то браузерах) после добавления второго сообщения через "быстрый ответ" перебрасывает на старую страницу, чтобы увидеть изменения необходимо вручную прорефрешить страницу.

[Vitaly]

Please, write in english, because few people here can understand russian.

Check your opera settings. If you customized caching to very agressive mode, many strange things can happen in IE. I have 20% of opera traffic, and no complains about merge functionality.

Check also, that AJAX functionality is not disabled in forum settings.

[PAKIDIL]

will this work with 3.7.x ?

[ricardoNJ]

I want like:

------- automerge ---------

How can I do that?

[ricardoNJ]

I did it but I need a:

<p> </p>

[Vitaly]

Just try to insert <br> or empty line before and after separator.

[ragtek]

<br /> because we're using xhtml ;)

[pablete]

this hack does not work for me, just try doing double post now. When I publish the second I get blank screen and says 'flood' and then update or refresh the page,,the second post is added to the first, but after this the second post below and I have to delete it!

What is the problem?

[ricardoNJ]

Probally, mod conflict. No ideas wich with. Or try to decrease flood control time in vB settings. Tell me, if that helps.

No working.

If you need absolute time - use this mod instead: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203705 . But time will be wrong for different time zones.

Here is beta with RELATIVE time https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1756333&postcount=78 . But I'd recommend to wait a couple of weeks, until release.

I'll check your problem about spaces. If it exists in 2.0 - it will be fixed.

[RedeemedWarrior]

looks a good mod, i'll add this at my RPG boards

[ricardoNJ]

Hi, is there any way that the user cant delete the phrase in the own post?:

------- automerge ---------

When the user edit your post can do that.

[Vitaly]

Only in global mod settings. Leave separator field blank. IMHO, it's useless :)

[pablete]

Probally, mod conflict. No ideas wich with. Or try to decrease flood control time in vB settings. Tell me, if that helps.



Where i can found this opcion in admicp to check that? Thx!

[ricardoNJ]

I do not understand. My question was whether the ----automerge--- when a user edits his own response, they can delete too. I just want to know how to make users can not delete it.

[Vitaly]

Disable edit permission. Or don't use merger, if you really need to see posts separate. It's impossible to control a part of message.

[ricardoNJ]

Ok, thank you!

Can you turn this off/on for specific forums? Sorry if I missed that somewhere in this thread.

Thanks

[VonDoom]

Wanted to mention the ability to use BB code in the ACP is a nice bonus.

[MuTheMatrix]

mark as installed...

[Nitro212]

Works great. Thanks

[Simon Lloyd]

Vitaly, any news on that beta you were working on back in February/march?

[ludachris]

Does this hack work only on time settings, or will it not kick in if another user replies first?

[ludachris]

Question - when a post is merged, does it still add to a user's post count?

[Tize.]

Great File.
Thank you very much man.
Installed and clicked.
Thank you again.

[ImYourLady]

You can take new mod from here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-merge_doubleposts . But current one should be uninstalled or disabled. New version is fine, and doesn't make fake second post. It already works several weeks at my forum without any problems.

Sorry, was very busy with other things. But i hope to update all products very soon. You can see all my mods at github (see link in my signature). It's better suited for development. When mods become mature, those are published at vborg.

Vitaly, i'm using vb 3.8.4 PL1 installed your new xml and on double post got this:
Warning: require_once([path]/includes/functions_mergedoubleposts.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(744) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/thecodec/public_html/forumz/includes/functions_mergedoubleposts.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thecodec/public_html/forumz/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(744) : eval()'d code on line 1

All the above error was my fault !, see below

Can you advise please?

[Simon Lloyd]

It seems i need this includes/functions_mergedoubleposts.php i couldn't download your file so i just copied your xml :(

[Vitaly]

You fogot to upload file from ./upload folder. New version require it. look into github. It has button to download all files in single archive.

[Simon Lloyd]

Yes i know about the download button, but as i am at work the firewall wont allow the download, i found the seperate parts i.e Hook.....xml, Functions....php and uploaded them but everytime i make a double post i get redirected to your functions....php

Odd!

[Vitaly]

Check, if files are in proper place. This mod has standard setup - upload all files to apropriate directories and import XML. Error shows exact path, where it can't find file.

It may be needed to change file permissions to allow webserver read it.

[Simon Lloyd]

Functions....php is in the includes folder Hook....xml is in Includes/xml/ folder and product-mergedoublepost.xml was imported with overwrite.

by the way thanks for the prompt replies.

Files are CHMOD 644

[Vitaly]

Check files owner or chmod to 666.

I can't consult about server administrating issue. Do anything you wish, but remove error "can't include file" :). I't not mod issue.

[Simon Lloyd]

I've found the issue :), it's not your mod!, when i saved target as for the files at github it saved the source code of the page....!

I have fixed the hooks because that was easy however when copying the functions.....php and pasting it all appears on one line could you possible attach a text file of it here or send it to me please simon.lloydATthecodecage.com all should be well then :)

[Simon Lloyd]

Vitaly, thanks for your help, it's working now however its not displaying the delimiter between merges.

Never mind, the first duplicate post was posted within 1 minute and didnt show the delimiter however after posting again after 2 minutes it showed.

is there anyway to display the actual time of the duplicate post rather than how many minutes later?

[Vitaly]

vB has delay to add "edited by" to message and log changes to history. Seems 15 minutes. Within this time delimiter is skipped, to avoid text bullshitting :) . If you are 100% shure, that you always need delimiter - change appropriade vB setting.

Absolute time is very bad idea, because it will be incorrect for different time zones. That's why relative time is shown.

[Simon Lloyd]

Ok thanks for the info :)

[buontaiviem]

Please make it work with vBulletin 4.0 Gold.

Thanks

[ChopSuey]

Always loved this mod! Installed & Nominated!

[ritter10]

[Rideharder]

[Rideharder]

hmm install and uninstall no problems... thanks for a wonderful mod

[Forum-Germany]

Should I install the normal Add-On or the Beta? Which is recommended?

[Forum-Germany]

Which add-on is better and more reliable?
