Prevent Doubleposting

This is why i really want a Mini-Hack section here, please Chen

What this hack does:
When a User posts to a thread where he already has the lastpost, no new post will be added. The lastpost of him will be edited and the new text is put after his first message.
This would not be done, if he has an attachment in his new post or the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself )

Known bugs: None

Hope someone can use it, i do

Believe this hack includes just 1!! codehack.

oh right, it's in the install file *gg*
(sometimes i forgot what i've already included in the hacks ^^)

PHP Code:

              if ($showeditedby and $lastpost[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60))) {
                 $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
              } 


it's in there, so it should show the edited by after 2 minutes with the original code...
be sure you have enabled the showedited by thing..

[Xenon]

oh, sorry, you were right

there was a little bug in it.

i've uploaded a new version, it should work now, also i've optimized the querie a bit, so i think it's good for everyone to install the new version

How do we get the subject (title) back in the line now? I have this but it doesn't seem to work.

PHP Code:

 $DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET dateline='" . time() . "'" . $editedbysql . ",pagetext='" . addslashes($lastpost[pagetext] . "\n\n[b][color=yellow]DOUBLE POSTING FEATURE[/color] - [color=black][size=1]".$title."[/size][/color][/b][color=black][size=1][/size][/color]\n\n".$message)."' WHERE postid=" . $lastpost['postid']); 


[Xenon]

yeah, it's right it would work normally..

that part hasn't changed in my update, just a part before

[Boofo]

I tried it with title and $lastpost[title] and all I get is a black line where the title should be. I'm looking at the old code I had from 6 months ago for this and seeing if I can figure it out.

Oh cool. Thanks Xenon.

I have a question though, I tried making the edited by part the same as it is in editpost.php, which would look like:

PHP Code:

     else {
            $editedbysql="";
  
if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
    $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
  } 


Except that for some reason it still shows the "Edited by" if I have admins set to not show edited by. I tried it with:

PHP Code:

else {
            $editedbysql="";
            if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
               $editedbysql="";
                     }
            if ($showeditedby and $lastpost['dateline'] < (time() - ($noeditedbytime * 60))) {
               $editedbysql = ",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='" . time() . "'";
            } 


and that did work (I think, I tested it really quickly), but I want it to work with the setting in vb options in Admin CP. How would I do this?

Thanks.

[Xenon]

use that 006:

PHP Code:

else {
            $editedbysql="";
            if ($showeditedby and $lastpost['dateline'] < (time() - ($noeditedbytime * 60))and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin))  {
               $editedbysql = ",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='" . time() . "'";
            }

I tried that and it shows the "edited by" no matter what I have selected in Admin CP. It's weird.

I have no clue why. :ermm:

Any ideas?

[Xenon]

sorry, no idea, it should work...

have you tried it on a post where the edited by wasn't there already, because it won't delete it if it's already ther..

[007]

yeah I made two new posts and then waited two minutes, then replied to one with "Show Admin Edit" turned on, and one with it turned off, and it showed "edited" both times.
