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.

hmm, which version of vb are you using?

try just change the $title in $subject in my replacements and implement it.

Nice hack..... Thanks

[Smoothie]

I'm finding the same as X-Fan. We should change $subject to $title?

[Xenon]

no change the $title in my instructions into $subject

i think it should work, but i don't really know, here at my files its $title

[Smoothie]

To change the time that the post would be new "new" instead of added to, is this the line that needs to be changed?

PHP Code:

$lastpost[dateline])>3600 


[X-Fan]

Well I don't really want to go installing a hack and changing a string value if noone is certain that it will work or not!

Can someone please check it first on a test board to make sure that changing $title to $subject works?

[Xenon]

@Smothie yes

@X-Fan: just make a backup of your newreply.php, if it doesn't work, you can upload your backup agin without any problems.

tell me what vb-version you use, because i couldn't find $subject in my newreply.php (except of the one which is used to send email to mods)

[X-Fan]

I'm using v2.2.5 if that helps any.

[Xenon]

arg, problems on this server now, can't acces to page 2 anymore....

hmm, i also use v2.2.5.
this is the part of the original file:

PHP Code:

if ($attachmentid and !$foruminfo[moderateattach]) {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET attach = attach + 1 WHERE threadid = '$threadid'");
      }
      $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,attachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipaddress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$threadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($postusername)."','$bbuserinfo[userid]','".time()."','$attachmentid','".addslashes($message)."','$allowsmilie','$signature','$ipaddress','$iconid','$visible')");
      $postid=$DB_site->insert_id();

      indexpost($postid,0); 


if every $title is canged in $subject in your file, then it won' be a problem.
just replace evere $title in my hack with $subject. but i'm wondering why you have differen files then.

[X-Fan]

I've got that in my newreply.php as well. My board is a heavily-hacked one, so I'm wondering if it may be another hack that has changed that line?
