Prevent Doubleposting

[Xenon]

@Wolfsong: the custom condition setting is what you need, search through this thread here, everything has been posted already :)

[WolfsongNevan]

Xenon, thank you so much ... I will do that. Normally I do, but this thread is rather long. I wish there was a way to search within a thread, especially with these hundreds of posts long threads. :) Thanks so much for an awesome plug in!!!

[Kihon Kata]

Can you tell me where exactly to put this?

easiest would be

$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']

[Jaymee]

I love it :)

[Xenon]

@Kihon: sorry, must have missed your post before...

put it in the additional condition field in the vbulletin settings :)

Hi Xenon,

Can you tell me where that is exactly? sorry :(

[Smiry Kin's]

Hi Xenon,

Can you tell me where that is exactly? sorry :(
i take it, its in the vbulletin APC settings..? lol?...

[Boofo]

i take it, its in the vbulletin APC settings..? lol?...

Yes, the settings for the hack itself. ;)

[Smiry Kin's]

ermm hack has stoped working for me, how great.. please either explain how i can check everything is working etc, or upload the file version, as stated about 100 times before.

got 3.5.4
vbseo installed.
no hacks installed recently

[Xenon]

erm, wasn't that what you wanted?
excluding admins will of course stop the hack to work for you.

[Smiry Kin's]

admins are not excluded.

[Nathan2006]

admins are not excluded.

That can be changed to what you need :)

vBulletin Options > Doublepost Preventing > Additional Condition (experts only)

And add this line in that box at the bottom:

!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))

as 5,6,7, are the usergroups you want to exclude;)

i dont want to exclode any one... nothing is in that box. it just stoped working..

[Nathan2006]

That might be down to another hack you have installed after
the double posting hack? that might stop this one working.

The products that you have installed after this if you
disable them 1 by 1 and check to see if it works you may find the problem :)

[mgs]

I haven't read all posts in this topic. Just ignore me if I'm incorrect|this suggestion was already proposed.

From my point of view in the following code

if ($doublepost['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $doublepost['attach'] == 0)

a little addition should be made

if ($doublepost['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $doublepost['parentid'] == $parentid AND $doublepost['attach'] == 0)


This one prevents doubleposting "blank shots" if user answers to the different posts.

[Kirk Y]

Would someone mind posting up the file edits version of this? I'd rather do hard-coded modifications than deal with the AJAX issue. Thanks if anyone has it.

Joking?

[Boofo]

Joking?

Didn't see a smilie, so I thought it was for real. :(

[Paul M]

Looking at it, I would guess it stops replies being merged if you reply to two different posts (for threaded mode). Unfortunately - that just gives everyone a quick way to bypass it.

[Boofo]

No sense in even installing it if you do that then.

[Kirk Y]

So doesn't anyone have the file edits version of this? Or are they just unwilling to post it?

[Hornstar]

Hopefully this can still be updated, As sometimes it works, and sometimes it dont. (problem most likely mentioned above)

[Pathor]

Doesn?t work with 3.6. :(

[Boofo]

Doesn?t work with 3.6. :(

Well, what doesn't work in it? An error or something might give us a little better idea on what to do to fix it.

[Pathor]

After I click on the submit-button, an error occurs (see screenshot).

If I refresh the page after the error, the doublepost exist.

EDIT: And sorry for my bad english. :D

Looks like you have an extra piece of code in there somewhere. Are you using the plug-in and have you added anything to the settings for it?

[Pathor]

[...]have you added anything to the settings for it?

Nope. Just downloadet here.

Fresh install on my local testboard (php 5.0.5, mysql 5.0.15).
No other plugins or modifications installed and no template edits.

[Rickie3]

please help I installed this when it was first released,i'm sure it was template edits,my members are going crook at the automerge,so i want to unistall the original and use the plugin

[Pathor]

Xenon is gone. :( I hope anybody else can fix it.
Maybe a new Hook?

While there have not been extensive changes to the underlying architecture of vBulletin 3.6 from 3.5, it is possible that certain hooks may have changed.

[Smiry Kin's]

can some one please tell me what to use? lol theres just so many codes/files..

i want one that auto freshes ajax. n maybe displays time that it was added!

[Wordplay]

i've got it worst, on 3.6 beta 3. when i double post, i get a database error, but the double-post is still made. has anybody got it to work on 3.6 yet?

[VBUsers]

can a coder take this over and make it for 3.6 beta 3? its a must have for so many admins.

[Keyser S?ze]

this is a really nice hack, ill tell ya what i would like if someone could make this for me to put in the expert part, i want it so it does not count for s. mods and admins, also i have it set so it prevents it for the first 72 hours without bumping, i would like it to be after 72 hours and until say forever ;p it prevents it but also bumps the thread

think anyone could do that for me? thanks

[Yorixz]

[Wifey]

Is there a code to exclude a certain forum from this in the additional options box? Also, what would the code be to exclude moderators from this?

Thanks!

[Wordplay]

Stoebi thanks for updating that, but it created a new error for letters such as ü ä ö dont show up now when people quickedit their threads in translates them to ü codes. like ü becomes ü but not when posting a new thread, or a comment, or submitting advanced editings only when submitting quick edits.

[keymistress]

is it possible to add a refresh page after the automerge because right now, the user sees both posts in seperate posts with "Edited by... Re: Automerge" unless they refresh the page...

[Keyser S?ze]

if that refresh page is made pls have a redirect message, also is anyone going to fix the additional options that have been requested that would be real nice

[Wordplay]

Stoebi thanks for updating that, but it created a new error for letters such as ? ? ? dont show up now when people quickedit their threads in translates them to ? codes. like ? becomes " % u 0 0 F C " but not when posting a new thread, or a comment, or submitting advanced editings only when submitting quick edits.anybody?

[Robin Larsson]

It doesn't work properly for me.

If i first make a post with:

"test1test1test1" and then make a quickreply to that, with.

"test2test2test2" the post will be:

"test1test1test1
test2test2test2
test2test2test2"

It's being two replies, not one.

Any way to fix this?

[Neo_obs]

try refreshing?

[Keyser S?ze]

has anyone else noticed if the first and second post have an attachment it does not auto correct it, is it possible?

[Shinichi_bien]

it doesnt work well w ajax, when i post a new reply(first time) ajax doesnt work

Anyone have this working for 3.6? I got an error, didn't get a screenshot or read it though lol, too lazy right now.

When someone double posts, this add-on automatically removes 1 from the post count - this is great.
Is it possible also to remove extra vbBux points the user received from posting the second post (which got removed by this add-on)?

Thank you.

[EasyTarget]

marko you probably need to ask that from the vbux author. I informed him of the bug (you can keep doubleposting and get lots of points) a long time ago but I'm sure its been overlooked with all the other stuff he's been working for the hack.

[AzzidReign]

Is anyone else getting a white page when they go to double post? It still makes the post and merges it, but i get a white page that keeps loading forever...literally forever.

I did the fix for 3.6.0 and yes I have vb 3.6.0. I'm running vbSEO and thats about it for modifications to the board. Anyone know a fix?

You should only have to go to manage your products, open the main doublepost prevent engine, look for the coding listed and replace with this....

Is there anyway to set it so that after a set time it does not auto merge?
Also is there a way so that it dont do this with the staff please?

it would be coll to make so that you don't have to refresh the page to se eit.

Very odd...

I installed this hack (straight forward) ajusted the admincp settings to 60mins.
fired a few threads in a row... nothing... :(

Tried re-installing it a few times... Still no go

This hack is installed at vb.org and causes text in html tags to get the colors mixed up. See here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1121123&postcount=13
I did not add any color to the html tagged text. Only after I posted an additional (back to back) post and this second post got merged, the color was added.

[Smoothie]

Does this work with 3.6.4?

[Smoothie]

I'm guessing it does....

[Smoothie]

Or does it? I installed this and it seems you need a refresh of the page to see the posts merged.

[Err0r1]

Is this working for anyone on 3.6.4?

I've installed, but nothing happens upon double posting.

Maybe it's because I've installed beebi's mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1117689&postcount=618

to get it work fine with 3.6.x
find
// we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
$doublepost = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
SELECT post.*
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')
WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
AND dateline > " . (TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_timespan'] * 60) . "
AND visible = 1 AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
AND postid <> $post[postid]
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 1
");


replace it with
// we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
$doublepost = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
SELECT post.*
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')

");

there ya go. ;)

AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))

We added this to the 'conditionals' section of the hack, but we're getting a bunch of parsing errors and admins are still getting automerged :(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND in /home/imnotimk/public_html/forum/includes/functions_newpost.php(524) : eval()'d code(9) : eval()'d code on line 1

Is this a 3.6.4 problem, or did we add the wrong code to the conditionals section?

[Xenon]

remove the AND in front ;)

that was in an old version iirc, regarding that the post is on page one ^^

[Bubble #5]

Thank you Xenon, I fully appreciate your help :)

One other quick question while I have your attention. At the beginning of the thread there is a post that makes this hack 3.6.x compatible. It basically just changed 'AND dateline' to 'AND post.dateline'. However now I see additional code being posted above in beebi post. In your opinion what is the advantage (if any) to using beebis code VS. just adding "AND post.dateline"?

[Xenon]

Well, as far as i can see both codes will work, beebi's code adds just a few more post. which doesn't change anything now, but may prevent bugs with future versions of vb, so i'd suggest you should use the version by beebi

[SCRIPT3R]

was the product actually updated (changed)? it still shows the same version #.

[Xenon]

yep, i uploaded a slightly modified file so it will run in 3.6

you don't have to update if you did the changes manually before.

Tried to import it to my 3.5.4 and got MySQL Error : Unknown column 'executionorder' in 'field list'

[Xenon]

hmm, seems that the xml files are not downward compatible.
Didn't think Jelsoft would code that way.

edit the xml file manually and remove all executionorder=".." parts and it should work again

[AZone]

Did what you said and it works. Thank you.
However, it doesn't change posting time, leaving post marked as old. Is it how it actually works or something's wrong?

[WrestlingAcadem]

Is there a way to turn off auto-merge in a certain forum?

[majoreyeswater]

It gave me an SQL error on produsct upload. I am using 3.5.2

The feature is them listed in the installed products, but I can't see how to configure it any where. don't think it has installed correctly...

I'm going to guess there's some way to turn off the function in a certain forum, but does anybody know how?

Xenon,

I know you have not been around here for a while but I just wanted to say thanks for some of the wicked mods you have released in the past (columns on forumhome being my favorite).

I hope that your recent posts here mean you might be returning to vb.org to release more or updated mods. Or even if you did not, and simply hung out to offer advice to those that are releasing new mods.

Either way, I just wanted to say thanks while I had the opportunity.

[Xenon]

Thanks, it really means a lot to me :)

I don't know if i get the chance to come fully back in the future, RL is quite stressful you know, but whenever i have the time and mood i come by and take a look at some threads ;)

And who knows, maybe i'll release a new mod someday ;)

There is a bug in this, it does not honour the Moderation requirements for Moderated forums. The second post is automatically merged into the post above without entering the moderation queue.

AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))


Where would I put this?

[Dark_Sirius]

Could I put in .5 as the time limit so it is 30 seconds?

[eoc_Jason]

If you want less time, you could modify the code so that instead of specifying in minutes you do it as seconds. But I would double-check the code to make sure it doesn't round() or make it an integer if you want to do a decimal.

[TheMilkCarton]

Could I put in .5 as the time limit so it is 30 seconds?

Well, (I think) the default time between posts is 30 seconds anyway. At least it is on my board.. So if you set it to 1 minute, it would essentially be the same as 30 seconds, right?

[CharmMickey]

Yes, it works on 3.6.5 but how exactly can you make it so it doesn't auto-merge a specific group's posts like Administrators. I tried the code:

And it doesn't work....

[djbaxter]

Admin CP | vBulletin Options | Prevent Double Posting

Find:

Additional Condition (experts only)
Here you can add extra conditions, which will be required for a post to be seen as a doublepost. Be carefull, as this code is evaluated without doing any errorchecking, so use it at your own risk! (Examlpe: add !can_moderate() into the box to exclude moderators from doublepost prevention)

That exempts moderators, super moderators, and admins from automerge.

[CharmMickey]

What is the code for administrators and Super Administrators.

[djbaxter]

You can look this up yourself in ACP | Usergroup Manager:

Super Moderator = 5
Admin = 6
Moderator = 7

Change the time limit in the options for this add-on. I don't recall what the default is but double posts are merged only within the specified time limit.

I think it is because a normal user typically can't use html in their posts so when the br or the p is put into their post, it doesn't parse. I ended up making a custom bb code tag for a hr line and used that.

[SoftDux]

That sounds like a great idea, but I can't get it to work. Here's my current code:

Oh no... :( What is the hack that haved the conflict?

[Dannyloski]

^ Oh I dont know if that's the issue, I was just thinking it may be that ... To be 100% Sure you would have to go to your AdminCP and disable each Hack one by one (while keeping this Hack Enabled at all times) to see if it indeed its a Hack conflicting or something else. after you disable a Hack, just try doing a doubleposts until you get it to work. If you cant get it to gwork after everything was done, then it may be something else ...

For those who want to exclude the Admin ONLY from the PRevent Double Posting Feature use the below code:

!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6))

If you wish to add more Usergroups, simply enter their IDs inside the Array Parenthesis (separating by commas), like this:

!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(X,Y,Z))

This was posted way earlier int he Thread, but I added to the last post just in case someone installs it and needs the info (to save them some searching)

[hissatsu]

Hello guys -- reading all these posts has made me more confused. I should learn how to code. Here is my problem - i downloaded the mod. There are no errors being displayed. But it doesnt work right.

wHen a member doubleposts within the Timespan (eg two weeks) the post is merged with his/her earlier post. But it remains as aN individual post. if this is not clear then this is what i am saying.

Member makes post A. He then makes post B in the Timespan. Next Post A & B get merged as one post in their own window. But post B still remains in its own window. So instead of one merged post you get Post A & B(merged) and Post B(the doublepost also appearing) in its own window


How do i get this resolved? Since many use this mod how did they resolve this? Are there any codes and where should i place them? Most important - how do i put a separation or an actual line separating the two posts?

Should I try Andreas plugin (post #157 in this thread) instead? (Made in 2005)
I am a noob so please go easy on me.

[Dave Hawley]

Andreas plugin is working great for me on 3.5.4. I had too many errors using the other one.

[hissatsu]

i will try that then and post what happens. i am on 3.67 PL1

EDIT:
Yes- Andreas plugin worked on 3.67 PL1 -- just fine.

But it has the same problems some mentioned - it puts the new post on the same line as the old one without separating them.
Andreas suggested using a line separator yet for someone who knows nothing about coding where in XML the file do i place this line separator.

And how can i exclude administrators from being affected by the mod? can someone help me here with the codes to use and where to put it in the xml file (andreas plugin is attached to post #157)?

Thanks!!!

Dave, i saw ur post earlier but didnt know and understand what to do with it- (i actually did read most of the posts in this thread). i am glad it is you who replied = yay!!!


I mean what do i do with that code? How does the custom BBcodes come into this picture?

When i was installing custom bbcodes they always came with some code string. so how do i set up this bb code and what string do i use? And by what you say in that post after the bbcode is set then i post the code line from SEE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1300910&postcount=693) in
vBulletin Options>Message Posting and Editing Options-Double Post Spacer

Sorry, newbie here :o . Thanks very much.


EDIT
Another question why does the hack always adds the double post more than once to the original post? When i make a doublepost it adds it to my earlier post at least twice.

And what code do i use to prevent administrators from being affected? [there was an option like that in Xenon's]

[Spinball]

Hello,
is it possible to exclude (or include) specific forums where this hack will work?
I ask because like 600 odd other people I think it would be useful on the forums, but there are a few where it would not be appropriate (e.g. our news forums and our classifieds forums).

[SABRSox]

I'm having an issue now where users are posting a great number of smilies with their posts, and this seems to work around the automerge. We have our Max Images Per Post set to 8 images, and as soon as that is exceeded, the automerge will fail to merge posts.

Any idea on a solution to this problem, without increasing or disabling the max images per post?

[Xenon]

Nope, that's working as designed.

Posts are just merged if the merged post is a valid one.

Can I make it so that this can take all the double posts made (before I installed this) and put them in one?

[bulbasnore]

Hey, we love this feature. Thanks Xenon. Import overwrite seems to have gone smoothly under 3.6.7_pl1

[pandaram]

thanks for this hack and i was using it with VB3.6.5
but its not working well with 3.6.8, is there an updated version available for this mod?

[Black Tiger]

No need for an updated version, it is working perfectly with 3.6.8. Just remember to enable it because it's disabled by default.

It works fine with 3.6.8.

Try reinstalling it. There were some template changes from 3.6.5 to 3.6.8.

[ragtek]

for me its working with 3.6.8

[Skavenger]

is there any way to make this work only in certain forums?

I have been using this MOD since it was introduced back in the day and it has served out community beautifully. From the start we modified it and I have been carrying the custom code over between releases. I figured someone could benefit from it as well.

The customization produces a doublepost /merged message with time function on a lower key than the default prompt.

Vestibulum diam risus, euismod id, tristique sed, mollis vitae, massa. Donec ante nibh, euismod ac, iaculis a, rutrum quis, neque. Donec vel velit. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam id nunc sed mi mollis lacinia.

Vestibulum diam risus, euismod id, tristique sed, mollis vitae, massa. Donec ante nibh, euismod ac, iaculis a, rutrum quis, neque. Donec vel velit. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam id nunc sed mi mollis lacinia. Customization for this is quite simple, and can be accomplished in two ways.
editing the .xml file directly(which I prefer) and overwriting the existing installtion or...
editing the installed plugin and keeping the installation.Method 1. edit the product file product-xenon_prevdoublepost.xml and fine the following line(line 55)
$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message'];and replace with:
$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n\n" . $post['message'];
Method 2. Through ACP open: Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager: [Product : Prevent Doubleposts] > Main Doublepost Prevent Engine. and In the Plugin PHP Code window find the following code:
$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message'];and replace with:
$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n\n" . $post['message'];And thats it. Hope this helps someone.

Very nice modification.
But can this not also be achieved by using the "Post seperator" option in Ezbounce itselve?

It might, but I'm not sure about the accurate time stamp though.

Is it posible to put Admins name instead of the users on the last edited by notice?

[hitmann]

Nice modification

[stonner]

hi,

i've installed it and set the options. but the users still can doublepost.
how can i fix it?

thank you!

[Black Tiger]

Did you enable it? Because it's disabled by default.

[stonner]

Where can i find the enable option? there is none.

[nnjj.net]

is there any update for this for 3.6.8?

[ragtek]

it's working fine on 3.6.8

[Smiry Kin's]

has anyone posted how they got it to work similar to cableforums?

[Smoothie]

Where can i find the enable option? there is none.If I can read your settings, looks like 1440 minutes until a new post is no longer considered as doublepost. Might want to fix that and try again. LOL

[stonner]

i set it to 0, and it's still the same.

[Dave Hawley]

It works just fine for me. Been using it with great success on 3.5.4 for 2 Moths now.

[stonner]

i am using vb3.6.8. is this the problem?

[Dave Hawley]

I wouldn't think so as other here have reported it working on 3.6.8

I doubt it, CF runs a very old (modified) version - the version running here is actually much newer.

To what are you referring anyway, the Quick Reply fix, the spacer, or something else ?

[aeturner89]

I installed this but later uninstalled it because of that annoying quick reply problem. It doesn't merge them properly until the page is refreshed.

Has anybody managed to fix this and is willing to share how?

[Dave Hawley]

No problems here and been in use for 2 Months.

[REIGN SS]

When i installed this, i had to go back and "Enable" it before it would work. (installed 3.6.8)

[mauro1947]

A lot of thanks.
100% tested and working with vBulletin 3.6.8
Just after install, Enable the product.
Regards!

[aycan555]

Is it posible to enable it on the specific forums? Because we got chi-chat forum i want to enable this on the that forums to prevent double postings...

And we got signatures&avatars firum.. Some users sends about 50 avatar... and it joins all the avatars on the one post... Then page opens slowly... :(

[anwar.abdullakh]

go to acp > plugins and products > manage products
there you will have to look for the Prevent Doubleposts 1.0

if the text is striken in the middle, this means that it's turned off...you have to enable it.
at your righthandside you will see a dropdown menu...select "enable there".

and if that doesn't do the trick then go to vbulletin options > doublepost preventing
and set the timespan to 1.

Note: don't turn the timespan 0 coz that will turn the plugin off.

you won't see the threads merged immediately, if you refresh you will see that it got merged.

hope that it worked for you now.

[Black Tiger]

Post #725 is something similar, you could adjust the used code I guess.

Thats Black Tiger but alas, that was one of the first things I tried but instead of having it show up like:

--------------- Added 17 Oct 2007 at 7:17pm ---------------

Which is how I want it, it shows up like this:

User Poster xx Hours and xx Minutes Later

In the same size font and colour as regular user posts so you cant tell the difference between the Post Separator and what the actual user wrote!?

Please someone must know.
