Prevent Doubleposting

[j_86]

I heard this does something bad to the search engine in vBulletin - something about psots not being indexed properly? Is this correct?

[Xenon]

nope, that's an incorrect information you have.

The search engine problem on vb.org lately have a totally other reason.

[mkdevo]

installed and love it. thank you.

one question - would it be possible to exclude certain usergroups from following the auto-merge rule (so certain usergroups can make multiple posts in a row)?

thanks again!

[Acers]

super hack.. and thanks marco for that time tip ;)

[Xenon]

would it be possible to exclude certain usergroups from following the auto-merge rule

yep, just add the to the condition
if ($type != 'thread' AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $dp_settings['timespan'] AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername'])

that part:
AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,2,3))

[prawn]

nope, i assume you made a mistake during the install process.

i did not get a similar report yet.

somehow the file version was at 3.0.1.. fixed that. just wanted to let you know. thanks for the hack. :squareeyed:

[mholtum]

/me installs!

[G0F0RBR0KE]

:surprised: i'm not a good installer. I can't install this. Anyone wanna help me out just contact me on MSN at alexanderjm316@hotmail.com or AIM me at evilakuma2006

[MajorFm.com]

Will this work on 3.0.3?

[Xenon]

yes!

[MajorFm.com]

perfect... thanks xenon!

[GSX-Racing]

Will it work on 3.0.7?

[mkdevo]

Will it work on 3.0.7?

yes!

[Xenon]

best example is vb.org ;)

[biggazillakilla]

Wow, that's great, fast, and easy. Thanks! install

[Lee]

Wow, that's great, fast, and easy. Thanks! install
What change do I need to make to prevent the first post as being quoted in the merged post?

[Xenon]

erm?

my hacks doesn't autoquote the first post.

[Ninth Dimension]

Working great, thank you..

/me clicks install

[commTRU]

Excellent hack, thanks very much :)

[o0Hubba0o]

Excellent hack, thanks very much :)
Yep, love it!

[csidlernet]

thanks man.

[prawn]

Any plans for 3.5 Xenon? :speechless:

[Xenon]

yep :)

as said we need it for vb.org as well :)

[Snake]

Could you upgrade it to 3.5 RC1 please??

[Cash4Cookies]

Great hack, is there any way you could make it effect all threads in JUST one forum? Also be able to block the person from posting a second time at all. So if the person EVER replied to the thread, they could NOT post again. I need it so on certain forums you can only reply to every thread one time. That's not really the point to this hack, but since its similar I think you could easily make that. If you could I would be VERY greatful. If thats worded all wrong its because ive been up like 30 hours messing with this lovely forum, lol. Thanks man.

[Yorixz]

Sweet mod, thanks a lot!

[Snake]

Xenon, are you planning to upgrade this hack for 3.5?

[Vizionz]

i hope so cause this is very usefull

[Wordplay]

anybody getting this out for 3.5?

[Andreas]

Do you guys also read sometimes (instead of just posting)?

[Wordplay]

yep
as said we need it for vb.org as well
what is that supposed to tell me? need what? kirby you cant imagine what it's like to get some help in here. i search the forums before asking any questions, it took me long enough to find this thread here. as i believed it was used on this board when it was in 3.5 beta version and not 3.0.x. plus everytime i ask a hacker (4 pms that all remained on replied too) on this board something about one of their hacks they dont even answer.

i'm just trying to make the best of my board.

Got it now?
That's why I asked if ppl also read ...

[Boofo]

So, Xenon, are you planning on ... nevermind. ;)

[Snake]

Oh jesus, he ain't even bothered to look at this thread and reply back to our questions. <_<

[Wordplay]

thanks kirby!

[Staircase]

Anyway to allow a certain usergroup double post? =\

[Xenon]

you can always manipulate the if condition when a post is considered as a doublepost, just add a $bbuserinfo[userigroupid] != bla ;)

[beansbaxter]

installed on 3.0.7 and worked perfect, super easy to install too.

thanks!!

[Datenpapst]

How do I get this Notice under the post like the Edited-Notice?

This is was i really really needed! Thanks a lot :)

Edit: @papst look here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=459685&postcount=24) and the following post :)

[Datenpapst]

doc, can you upload your file, with the modification, so it says at the bottom, am ende, the sentence? I am loosing the overview... :o :(

[Doc Great]

Simply search SET pagetext = '" . addslashes($doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $post['message']) . "', and replace it with SET pagetext = '" . addslashes($doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\nautomatisch Zusammengefasster Doppelpost\n\n" . $post['message']) . "',

Friendly greets,
Sven

hmm, but its not like I wanted it. :(
It wanted this text as an edit notice, so that if you doubblepost it says:
Last edited by Datenpapst : Today at 14:39. Reason: Automerged Doublepost
as an edit notice.

[Xenon]

a look at that code would help:

// ########### Xenon's prevent doublepost hack #########
$dp_settings = array(
'dobump' => true, // change this to false if you don't want doubleposts changing post's dateline
'timespan' => 3600, // how many seconds after the last post the new post is defined as doublepost
'spacer' => "\n\n", // What should be between the old post and the new one (default: two empty lines)
'addeditedby' => false, // Should a edited by author be added when a post is merged
);

;)

[Datenpapst]

Hmmm Ok :o
Danke :D thx gracia, usw..

[Xenon]

hehe, i love the languagemix in here ;)

np

[Snake]

Not yet.

[Xenon]

excluding those usergroups in the condition would be the easiest way.

it's not a real bug in the hack, as if i would disable merging with moderated post the hack would not work as designed anymore

[GamerJunk.net]

Has this been updated for vb 3.5?

[Xenon]

yep!

[Snake]

Yes but is not compatible with AJAX. <_<

[VBUsers]

yep!


so when will it be available for 350? estimate??

[Xenon]

it is already.....

take a look at my profile, it's just including two little bugs right now

[intox]

How do i put a message like AUTO MERGED , or something like that in between so n00bs can understand. i read the who thread the given suggestions are not as per "Hack Version: 1.6" . It wil b nice if some1 can help me out. :ermm:

[manutdvn]

Thanks. Clicked install

[Ncturnal]

One of my moderators just brought this to my attention. Is it possible to have the query which updates a post in the case of a doublepost to also update the post dateline so that users are aware there is new content?

Exactly. The hack is a great idea, but if the aforementioned function does not work, it becomes a big hinderance. I have a specific example on this forum.


I posted a code request.
A coder provided a response.
I replied with "Thanks, I'll give it a try."
I had a problem with the code and responded, but it simply editted the previous post.


As far as I know, no thread update was sent as if there was a new post, and the thread was not bumped. It seems the timeframe here is set really long as well, because responding today did the same thing. The hack is definitely a great idea and much needed but those need to be fixed.

Also, the function needs to be disabled as soon as someone posts after you so as to not have your response post in the previous post to their question (I'm not sure if this is even the case, but just thought it should be mentioned).

Thanks!

[matrlx]

Can you guys show me what code to alter in version 3.6.7 ? As I can't find anything even simliar in the functions_newpost.php

Best Regards!

agreed. Need some help here!

[troybtj]

I installed the product version 1.0 of this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96602

From same author in 3.7.3.1 and it is working great. Just extra info (not to mention surprising!) I needed to do VERY MINIMAL tweaks after installing the product linked above (older version of this hack) to have it fully working in 3.7.3 PL1

I might guess it should work for 3.6.x as well, but what needs tweaking might be different. You probably need a good idea of PHP to see where it isn't working quite right though. I didn't make a note of what changed.
