Doublepost Prevention

[forexforum]

Hi there,

Can someone help me?

I am having trouble creating a post/thread via vbulletin mobile android app that I bought as a suite. I noticed the plugin is causing the problem.

Can you help to teach me how to add the code below?


if (!VB_API)
{
insert plugin code here
}


But how to insert and where?

[Paul M]

What problem exactly does it cause ?

[bosanci28]

First off all thanks for this mod.

How can i translate the phrase:
---------- Post added at 01:34 ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 ----------

Also i noticed the posts don't get merged when i add attachments to the posts.

Edit the phrases, they all begin with pdp_spacer

Also i noticed the posts don't get merged when i add attachments to the posts.
That is by design.

[zhai]

is there any old version that can work with vb 4.1.2 ?
too bad the current version can't run in my forum

[Paul M]

Someone attached the old version on the previous page.

[zhai]

[Deirdre]

It's not working anymore for me either. 4.1.5 level patch 1

Does this work with 4.1.5?

[Paul M]

Yes.

[SacredChaos]

Awesome. Installed and working great.

[War Machine]

After installation mod, my forum IS BLANKED!!! I don't see my topics...HELP MEEEEE!!!

VB Ver. 4.1.5 Patch 1

In my log error i read this!

[11-Sep-2011 19:59:36] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/laquint4/public_html/board/clientscript/ckeditor/ckeditor_php5.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/laquint4/public_html/board/vb/ckeditor.php on line 13

If I read my forum as guest, i read all post, but if i login, all my topic are blank, i don't see anything!!! Help me please!!!

[Paul M]

That error has nothing to do with this, you seems to be missing ckeditor files. I suggest you re-upload all your files.

[War Machine]

Ok, i have copied clientscript folder again and now it works, but, a user today, have add another post in her topic, and it have created a new post!
In options tab, i've set minutes to 4000 (for 3 days about), but it work in some cases. Why?

[CountRock]

Works great with 4.1.6~

[TheSSDReview]

Is there a version that works with 4.1.1?

[Paul M]

Check post #248.

[TheSSDReview]

[DragonMasterNYC]

I have one small suggestion, could we get an option to always merge the post if we don't want to deal with the time limit. I've had a few instances that the system doesn't merge post even though I've set the time to 99999999... Any help to solve this problem is much appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time
Dragon

[Paul M]

Thats probably because one of them had attachments, not the time limit.

[Paul M]

[Gripi]

is it possible to make this code to allow double post if the double post is the 2nd post in the thread? only for 2nd post.

because lots of people in my forum reserved the 2nd post to use in the future due to the limitation of total character in a post.

thanks

[Paul M]

Im sure it would be possible, but Im not sure how off the top of my head.

[Gripi]

could someone tell me what is the code like this:

if this post is second post in the thread, abort

or if this post under the 1st post in the thread, abort.

i will put that command inside the plugin manager, and above before the process run.

[Gripi]

hm.. no one could help?

a code like this, but i really2 no idea how to make it works, already tried couple times:

if ($post[postcount] == 1)
{
a code to abort the process;
}

but i'm sure code like this in the plugin that cancel the process:

if ($vbulletin->options['pdp_ipcheck'])
{
if (IPADDRESS != $doublepost['ipaddress'])
{
$process = false;
}
}

please help..

[Paul M]

Try this ;

if ($dp_threadinfo['replycount'] == 0)
{
$process = false;
}

[Gripi]

works like magic..

thank you very2 much :)

[spillage]

This is a recent install for my site... the idea is great.
I've been keeping an eye out to see how it performs.
I have it applied to all forums, and only to exclude staff.
The window is set to 5 minutes.
Yesterday there was a double post at 2mins that got by.
Today it caught a double post, but the time-stamp is off by 5hrs.
Any ideas as to why?
Thanks,

[etca]

works on 4.1.8

[S3Ponline]

I’m not sure why it’s doing this but when I was testing it out, it kept double posting.

I would post “Test”
and it would have TWO instances of “test”

I have VBSEO so I’m wondering if that’s conflicting.

[s0ur]

Here is an interesting thing, this won't merge posts made by someone using the Tapatalk app for mobile devices.

Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

[Paul M]

Not a clue. I dont know anything about Tapatalk.

[yjeanrenaud]

Me too got that issue with tapatalk. I guess it has something to do how that posts to the forums.
it seems not to invoke the hook

[Luca_ITA]

work fine on vb4.19, thx!

[Froberg]

Paul, you Sir, are awesome-sauce distilled in to even more awesome concentrate!

Thank you so much!

[Arnowt]

Thank you very much for the work

[Raz0r.]

Thank you so much for this Paul. Working perfectly fine on 4.1.10 aswell i see(atleast for me) :)

[Legende]

For me it's not working anymore on 4.1.10?

[thenamesgould]

No, doesn't work for me in 4.1.10 either. I wonder if a reinstall would help ...

[Paul M]

This works fine on 4.1.10

[thenamesgould]

Actually it does usually work ... it must have just been a one off that it didn't. How weird ...

[spillage]

Ref: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2268358&postcount=291
This issue still exists, and hasn't been acknowledged or commented on.
Here's today's example (1/28/12)... the second post was 2min after the first (caught by my 5min window), but compare the timestamps.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/14.jpg

[Noerenberg]

I?m not sure why it?s doing this but when I was testing it out, it kept double posting.

I would post ?Test?
and it would have TWO instances of ?test?

I have VBSEO so I?m wondering if that?s conflicting.

I have the same problem.

And when i reloed the site, everything is ok. But for the first time it will make confuse the user

[New Joe]

Shame there's no fix for this

[too_cool_3]

Tested and works fine for me on 4.1.10. However, I don't have vBSEO

[HHelp1]

Any SS please?

[Paul M]

What is SS ?

[anderow]

Same problem for me 4.1.8
I am running VBSEO

WHen testing.
First post 'test'

second post, 'test2'

starts a second post with
test
test2

in it.
Third post
'test3'

leaves the duplicate posts above and creates a new one with

'test'
'test2'
'test3'

so I now have seperate posts with

'test'

and

'test'
'test2'

and

'test'
'test2'
test3

instead of appending with the timestamps to just the first post, it is leaving the initial post and duplicating a new post with updated content

Has anyone managed to fix this duplication issue? Im using standard settings that come with this mod out of the box.
Brilliant mod, just need to get it working on my site ;/

[HHelp1]

What is SS ?

[Nirjonadda]

Installed...working perfectly on 4.1.10 !!!

[njoker555]

Seems to work great on 4.1.11 - nice job!

[Gato]

This mod don´t work if you have vbseo installed?
Please let me know, i have vbulletin 4.1.11 running...

And thanks! If works, is a very very nice Mod and i will nominate It´s really good!!!!

[Paul M]

I do not have vbseo running on any vB4 forum, so I realy couldnt tell you for certain.

There is no reason it shouldnt, but VBSEO can affect a lot of things depending on what features you have turned on.

[Gato]

Paul! Works great with vbseo too! Thanks for the quick response anyways!

[art5041]

awesome Thanks !

[Alan_SP]

Paul, could you make version 4.1.0 available, I'm still on vB4.1.2? Please...

[Paul M]

Im afraid I dont have a copy lying about.
I removed a lot of old stuff last year, the only copy I *may* have is stored 'offsite'.

[Alan_SP]

If anyone else still has a copy of v.4.1.0, please, could you attach it.

Thanks in advance.

[Paul M]

Actually, now you mention it, I recall someone already did.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2219052#post2219052

[Alan_SP]

Thanks Paul, and of course, thanks to Sunka. For some reason I couldn't like Sunka's post and I need to like more posts of others before I could like yours.

Maybe you could add it in first post, for others who may need older versions?

[Paul M]

Yeah, that would save me hunting for it again. Added.

[Alan_SP]

Sorry, I don't see it added.

Did you maybe overwrite newest version?

EDIT: Now I see it, at the top of first post, as link to post. Sorry, I expected to find it with attached files. Ignore this post...

[Raz0r.]

I installed this at once i got my forum up running, but after v4.1.7 it stopped working for me. Now anyone can double post and my moderators have to deal with it. Currently running v4.1.11, any incompatibilities i should now off?

[Paul M]

Nope, it works fine on 4.1.11.

[Crotan]

About time they implemented this in vBulletin, looking forward to 4.2

[Mr_Running]

Thanks Paul and vBulletin
Now that is now part of the 4.2.0 software.
Well Done Paul. :)

Uninstalled ;)

[michal72]

there is a small bug for comments on articles. first comment is merged with the first post which inform about article but shouldn't. the same for 4.2

it seems there is no timestamp spacer in 4.2

regards

[wtfaatp]

My question is - with the mod included with Vb - does it do the same basic functions?

I'm dling 4.2 now and about to upload it to test site but any outside help would be great!

[Gn_Snake]

Hello Paul,
i have installed VB4.2.0 , had i uninstall this plugin?

[Boofo]

Yes.

[alhidaya]

It's not very cool to have put this hack in the latest version 4.2.0 of vbulletin result resource

[Boofo]

Why? you can disable it.

This sets the time limit used by the double post feature. If the posts are outside this limit they will not be merged. Setting this to zero disables the feature.

[Boofo]

Paul, what's a good setting for the time limit on this?

[Skyrider]

Wait, yes? This plugin is being automatically disabled when you upgrade from a 4.1 to 4.2 vB installation. I removed this plugin, seeing it's already within the core of vB.

[Paul M]

it seems there is no timestamp spacer in 4.2
Thats correct.

there is a small bug for comments on articles. first comment is merged with the first post which inform about article but shouldn't. the same for 4.2
Bugs in pre 4.2 versions will not be fixed now. For 4.2 itself you will need to log that in Jira.

My question is - with the mod included with Vb - does it do the same basic functions?
I think 4.2 has everything except the timestamp. I may release a mini mod for that at some point.
Also, 4.2 will merge posts with attachments, which was never added to this.

Hello Paul,
i have installed VB4.2.0 , had i uninstall this plugin?
Yes, you can uninstall it.

Paul, what's a good setting for the time limit on this?
Thats entirely up to the site admin. I think I use 2 hours on CF.
Its set to 24 hours here (and on vb.com I believe). I would not use anything greater than 24 hours.

It's not very cool to have put this hack in the latest version 4.2.0 of vbulletin result resource
I disagree, but either way, such comments are completely irrelevant to this thread.

[Boofo]

Thanks for the response. I had set it at 60 but I think 2 hours is better.

[etca]

why in vbul 4.2 has very simple menu?
I think, the option menu this adds on much better than default 4.2 :).

All my Rss feed are posting duplicate Thread, can this stop rss duplicate Thread?

most likely depends on your feeds. make sure they always supply unique QUIDs

[Skyrider]

Uninstalled due to upgrade to 4.2.0
Re-installed. This plugin prevents duplicate posts through Tapatalk & ForumRunner as they can bypass it with the default doublepost merger within vB.

[yjeanrenaud]

cool! tapatalk could also bypass this mod, great if that works now

[Skyrider]

cool! tapatalk could also bypass this mod, great if that works now
Nope, with this plugin installed you can no longer post double (or more) posts with tapatalk/forumrunner

[Alan_SP]

There's one bug with DBTech's Advanced User Tagging (v3.0.5, maybe all in v3 series) and this mod.

Anyway, it is noticeable if you use Paul's mod double post prevention. I described bug here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f51/strange-bug-mentions-paul-ms-double-post-prevention-mod-9721/

Solution is to as follows:

Find Prevent DoublePost plug-in for newpost_complete hook (all plug ins have same name, but hook location is different).

In plugin you need to find this code:

$spacer = '.'"]'."\n\n".$spacer."\n\n".'';

And it needs to be changed into this:

$spacer = "\n".'.'"]'."\n\n".$spacer."\n\n".''."\n";

It adds line break at the beginning and at the end. Actually, for this bug it is only necessary to have only in the end line break, but I added it to both places, so people could easier remove color tags from the rest of the post.

Now it works fine.

If you use both of this mods, you certainly would like to apply this change. And, it makes easier for users to quote double posts from other's if they want to delete unnecessary content of their posts (it puts information about double posts in new lines, not the same as users text).

[Paul M]

Its not really a bug, but it is something I noticed a long while ago (when quoting), which is why I actually changed it when I added this to the 4.2.0 core.

If you want to match what vB4.2.0 does, change it to this ;


$spacer = "\n\n" . ' . '"]' . $spacer . '' . "\n\n";

[Alan_SP]

Thanks Paul. One new line is enough for me, but I'm sure that some would use as it is in vB4.2. :up:

When I said bug, I meant that this didn't worked for DBTech AUT. Strange thing is, it worked with older version of AUT and your mod without any need to change it.

EDIT: By playing a bit with spacer, this is what I find the most satisfying for me:

$spacer = "\n\n".'.'"]'.$spacer.''."\n\n";

It makes spacer all in a one line and separated from posts' content. I think this is the most easiest for users to delete from their quotes. Mentioning works too. :D

[Skyrider]

Hey Paul. Is there any specific reason why Tapatalk and Forumrunner ignores and bypasses the double post prevention feature build in the core of vB while your plugin (this one) works fine in preventing double posts made through tapatalk/forumrunner?

[Paul M]

Since I have no clue how Tapatalk and Forumrunner work, I dont know.

[muimui]

This product is not compatible with version 4.2.1 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.1.4 / Incompatible with 4.1.99 and greater)

[djbaxter]

This product is not compatible with version 4.2.1 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.1.4 / Incompatible with 4.1.99 and greater)

That's correct. It's because the feature is already built in to versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 so there's no need for an add-on.

[PartiBoi]

Ok I installed this but now instead of 1 double post I get two sets!! its double posting the double post!

This modification is not required for vBulletin 4.2.x Onwards.

[mikez006]

The new 4.2.x DoublePost pervention works, however it still bumps threads to the top of the forum. Is there some way to prevent this from happening?

Why not? Is in 4.2.1 a in-built setting for this? I can't find it.

I am running Ver 4.2.2 and this does not stop the double posts. Do I need to install your mod first, or will the mod not work on Ver 4.2.2 ?

David

[Paul M]

You dont need it for 4.2.2, the functionality is built in.

Im not sure what would happen if you installed this as well, but it would probably still work.

[ozzy47]

I think you are confusing this mod or the double post with something else. The purpose of double post prevention is to stop a member from making a post, then posting again a few hours later to bump the thread.

I believe what you have going on is the exact same post being posted twice. If that is the case, it is either a mod causing it, or your server in I'm some need of serious help. Seems like it is slow to respond to a post request.

[Legende]

Hi

I have the problem that when i use the quick reply field then it gets doubled as answer? If i reply in extended normal form then it works as intended.

Regards

[David Copeland]

The only way we were able to stop the double posting was to disable the QUICK REPLY . Since then, we have not had double posting.

​David

[tuRiver]

Does anybody have the double post problem also? On latest vb 4,x?
