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 ;

Could I put in .5 as the time limit so it is 30 seconds?

If you want less time, you could modify the code so that instead of specifying in minutes you do it as seconds. But I would double-check the code to make sure it doesn't round() or make it an integer if you want to do a decimal.

Well, (I think) the default time between posts is 30 seconds anyway. At least it is on my board.. So if you set it to 1 minute, it would essentially be the same as 30 seconds, right?

Hello,
I've installed, but i see that don't work when both posts has attachments. Any solution please?

[sjcallas]

any confirmations on this working on 3.6.5?

[djbaxter]

Yes, it works fine on 3.65.

[Smoothie]

confirmation #2, works w/ 3.6.5

[Mrdby]

great!!

[CharmMickey]

Yes, it works on 3.6.5 but how exactly can you make it so it doesn't auto-merge a specific group's posts like Administrators. I tried the code:

AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))

And it doesn't work....

Additional Condition (experts only)
Here you can add extra conditions, which will be required for a post to be seen as a doublepost. Be carefull, as this code is evaluated without doing any errorchecking, so use it at your own risk! (Examlpe: add !can_moderate() into the box to exclude moderators from doublepost prevention)

That exempts moderators, super moderators, and admins from automerge.
