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 ;

Can someone help me apply this feature to this MOD?

Taken previously from the "3.0.x Prevent Double Posting"

In your includes/functions_newpost.php, find the following:

 // we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
            $doublepost = $DB_site->query_first("
                SELECT postid, pagetext, post.title, post.userid, post.attach

and replace by:

 // we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
            $doublepost = $DB_site->query_first("
                SELECT postid, pagetext, post.title, post.userid, post.attach, post.dateline AS dateline

Then find:

 $post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . $post['message'];

and replace by:

 $post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . "$bbuserinfo[username] posted " . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60) . " minutes later:\n" . $post['message'];

I compared the code but I just can't seem to figure out how to apply these changes. Basically I want output simillar to this.

JohnBee added 9 Minutes later...

Instead of the standard merge. All other things work very nicely btw!

Okay update, I got the time etc. to display but I cannot get the username to appear, anyone know why:

"$bbuserinfo[username] posted "

Doesnt work?

$bbuserinfo is now $vbulletin->userinfo

If I could reproduce it then I could probably fix it - I just don't get that error on our test or live forums. Maybe someone has a test forum I could have access to that does have the error, so I can try and pinpoint the problem ?

sign up and double post somewhere, i dont get an error but the page does not update unless refreshed.

You are asking Xenon to link to Kirby's hack, but you don't link to it? Can you at least link to what you ask someone else to link to?

I was referring to the timestamp update error in the fix I use. I don't get one, some people seem to.
