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 ;

What is the code for administrators and Super Administrators.

You can look this up yourself in ACP | Usergroup Manager:

Super Moderator = 5
Admin = 6
Moderator = 7

I'm probably missing something, but users can still make double posts?

If you look @ the test thread I just created, http://www.webhostingtalk.co.za/vb/s...ead.php?p=3112 you'll see what I mean.

Am I doing something wrong?

how do I put a page break before & after the double post message?

Using <BR> </BR> & <p> </p> doesn't work, it simply get's displayed in the message, as can be seen here: http://www.webhostingtalk.co.za/show...=3726#post3726

Change the time limit in the options for this add-on. I don't recall what the default is but double posts are merged only within the specified time limit.

Thanx, I have done that already, and it's working fine now

I just can't seem to figure out how to add a white space / cariage return before / after the "Double Post" message

I think it is because a normal user typically can't use html in their posts so when the br or the p is put into their post, it doesn't parse. I ended up making a custom bb code tag for a hr line and used that.

That sounds like a great idea, but I can't get it to work. Here's my current code:


Title: [br]
Tag: br
Replacement: {param}<br>
Example: Some text [br] New paragraph
Description: Creates a cariage return


You can see it here, http://www.webhostingtalk.co.za/misc.php?do=bbcode

This is my Double Post code:

[color=grey][size=-2][br]
##############
Double posts merged
##############
[/size][/color][br]

This is my Double Post code:

Try

Title: [br]
Tag: br
Replacement: {param}<br />
Example: [br]Some text[/br]New paragraph
Description: Creates a cariage return

Thanx, that worked too, I used <p> shortly after my post, which worked as well
