You will need to edit the 'NewThread' and 'NewPost' template

This is another version of Xenon's Disable Submit but it disables the buttons instead.

Two steps for each template ;)

Insert the following code anywhere between <head> and </head>
<script>
function submitonce(theform){
//if IE 4+ or NS 6+
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
//screen thru every element in the form, and hunt down "submit" and "reset"
for (i=0;i<theform.length;i++){
var tempobj=theform.elements[i]
if(tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="submit"||tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="reset")
//disable em
tempobj.disabled=true
}
}
}
</script>

step two
find:
onSubmit="return validate(this)"

replace with:

onSubmit="return validate(this),submitonce(this)"




Works with all vB versions. The buttons just turn grey like you cant click them anymore ;)

I guess, but you can take it as a hack.

I am still lost on the purpose of this hack. and yes this is a template edit because there is no PHP files that were hacked. Can you please xplain what it does thanks.

Nah, since it doesn't edit any PHP files, it shouldn't be considered a hack. The correct term is template add-on. And has anyone actually figured out what this does yet, the description is pretty vague. :p

I think it disables the Submit button after it's been clicked, probably to prevent double-posting. At least, that is my guess, based on the name of the function: "submitonce".

Well there is already a hack that disables double-posting, by merging your double post with it's previous..I find this method much better.

hmm, do you think he meant my prevent doublepost hack?
really his expressions aren't really easy to understand then ;)

a code hack = source code modification
a temp hack = nothing
this should be a temp mod = template modification
and shouldn't be published as full release hack (being a source code modification)
