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

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

I, three, have noticed the same thing. It doesn't happen all the time but it does occur atleast 5% of the time.

[Nullifi3d]

at least 5% of the time? So 95% of the time it doesn't work? Are you sure you didn't get that backwards?

At least for me it is not 95% of the time but a lot more than 5% actually.

I think I did this hack when it was a file edit, can I now upload it as a plugin and have it set to overwrite the previous? Or must I find out what I did to edit it before? I read most of this thread to find the answer but didn't see it.

All this "look on this page for the answer" stuff is confusing.

Xenon, I have this phrase:

// at first check if there is at least the possibility to be a doublepost
if ($custcond AND $type != 'thread'
	AND $dp_threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_timespan'] * 60
	AND $dp_threadinfo['lastposter'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['username']
	AND $dataman->fetch_field('attach') == 0)
{

If I change that to:

// at first check if there is at least the possibility to be a doublepost
if ($custcond AND $type != 'thread' AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)) 
	AND $dp_threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_timespan'] * 60
	AND $dp_threadinfo['lastposter'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['username']
	AND $dataman->fetch_field('attach') == 0)
{

That will disable it for mods/admins, correct?

Edit: Yep, that seemed to do it.

@Mike: just reupload an unhacked functions_newpost.php to remove the old hack and then just upload the plugin

@Chris: correct, but the added condition should be placed into the custom condition field in the vbulletin options, that's why i added that field

@possible problems: the merge is just done, if the merged post won't produce an error.
so if the new post would have to much chars or images it won't merge.
also posts with attachments are not jet merged

[gwhooooey]

What happens with me... for the random times it doesn't work... is it's the exact same post.. twice, but in the second one... it'll have the additional comment bit added as well.

...and these posts have just been plain text, nothing that would cause an error.

No 5% of the time it doesn't work. I had it correct the first time, depending on how the person wishes to read it.

i'm trying to exclude admin posts from automerging using this in the Additional Conditions:

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

...but it's still merging my posts. any ideas/alternatives?
