Prevent Doubleposting

When a User posts into 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 will be done until the old post is older than 24 hours (you can change this timespan yourself)

Nothing more to say about that, it's the quite same as my vb3.0 version.

This Mod should run with 3.6 as well


** Please make sure you ENABLE this product after you install it - it is disabled by default. **

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

FYI, It works for me, on two 3.5.1 systems, and no one else seems to have a problem .....

A big thank you for your help in getting my problem solved!

If everyone got the same problem, just do step 2, ignore step 1

Tested, but I get the following error on a double post ;

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:

			SELECT MAX(dateline) AS dateline
			FROM post AS post
			WHERE threadid = 192
			AND dateline < 
			AND visible = 1;

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND visible = 1' at line 5

Also, the new post is merged into the existing post twice.

Hmm, I can't reproduce such problems on my board.

But I think the SQL error is releated to thread/forum subscriptions, as the Datamanager won't return the postid.

Edit: Reproduced.

Actually, the database error causes the double merge:

The QR AJAX JS gets the database error and attempts a repost.

[Paul M]

Yep - it works - not quite as I (persoanally) want it to, but it does work.

I've added the dateline update on a double post (maybe that should be an option).

The main thing I dislike is that it doesn't reload the post automatically - you have to click on the QR 'error' message (there seems to be redirect code in it, not sure why it's not called - a bug maybe ?).

I try it and is doing the same thing for me .

[Andreas]

The redirect Code is called, the JS XML Handler catches it, detects the "error" message and displays it.

Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically reload the page - JS won't be executed and a meta refresh can only occur in the head-section of a HTML document.

An alternative would be to generate a postbit and display it, but then you would have the post displayed 2 times: The post that was already there and the merged post as a new post.

Replacing the existing post via AJAX ist not possible without changes to the JS files.
