Prevent Double Posts Hack
 

Actually, I'm amazed this wasn't included into vB3.5

suggest it at vb.com ;)

we're still in beta

Done

would this be a plug-in only thing? the automerge doublepost here is really interesting.

nope, right now it's not doable with a plug-in as it has to change code and don't run original codes when doing a double post.

that would stay a code mod in 3.5 as well.

Will you be updating it for 3.5 xenon?

yep i will, as we'd need it for vb.org ;)

Sweet, looking forward to it. :)

Isn't vb.org using 3.5 now?

Replying again to see...

And Xenon, any idea on when you will release this?

No vB.org is not running 3.5 yet.

i have been working on it already, but there were some problems, wait until we upgrade to 3.5 to get the release ;)

Now, now ? WHen ? Now :) ?

nope

not before vb.org has upgraded

(the hack is not yet working correctly on the testdb)

Make it work :D :D :D

No I understand .. I rather have a bug free working plugin as a "made in a hurry" one :)

I have an idea :)

If someone post in the same thread in last X minutes (or the last post belong to him), the reply button will be disabled or link to editpost, that editing the last post that he made in the thread?


---------

and amazingly, it can easily be done by editing template.

a few ($threadinfo['lastposter'] != $bbuserinfo['username']) condition on reply link will do the job :)

nice idea ^^

this is greatly needed, ive seen this done before at another site, all it says is instead of the post button there is a button that says "dont double post, use the edit button"
