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 ;

Has someone found a fix on "prevent automerging for admins" yet?

It will be very usefull this one.

Also, it will be good if the timestamp of the thread, being updated when someone double post and his posts automerged

Thnx in advance

[Snake]

Paul has already implemented a fix for that. Do a search on this thread, it should be there somewhere.

1. The post dateline is not updated on a merge, so it doesn't get seen as unread.

2. The one everyone complains about - no ajax refresh (unless you alter the time stamp, then you get two versions of the same post).


So, since I wanted this on our forum I have fixed both locally - this is what I have done.


1. To fix the timestamp ;

Find ;

PHP Code:

// set info 


Add below it ;

PHP Code:

$dataman2->set('dateline', TIMENOW); 


2. To fix the ajax issue, use this nasty hack ;

Find ;

PHP Code:

    if ($isdoublepost)
    {
        $id = $doublepost['postid'];
        $dataman->save();
        
        //now add edited by
        if ($dp_settings['editedbymsg'] != '')
        {
            $vbulletin->db->query_write("
                REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog (postid, userid, username, dateline, reason)
                VALUES ($id, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", '" . addslashes($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . "', " . TIMENOW . ", '" . addslashes($dp_settings['editedbymsg']) . "')
            ");
        }
    } 


Replace with ;

PHP Code:

    if ($isdoublepost)
    {
        // Ugly hack added by Paul M to fix ajax merge //
        if (!$vbulletin->GPC['ajax'])
        {
            $id = $doublepost['postid'];
            $dataman->save();
        
            if ($dp_settings['editedbymsg'] != '')
            {
                $vbulletin->db->query_write("
                REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog (postid, userid, username, dateline, reason)
                VALUES ($id, " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", '" . addslashes($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . "', " . TIMENOW . ", '" . addslashes($dp_settings['editedbymsg']) . "')
                ");
            }
        }
        $vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "p=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]";
        eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks', true, false));
    } 


Seems to work okay for me, feel free to try it.

Apparently u point in this post...can u please tell me in which template / file i must do this edits? I searched the includes/functions_newpost.php but no luck

Also, PaulM, have u figured out any hint of how to prevent automerge for the Admin's Posts?

Thnx again

[Snake]

What do you mean no luck? It's working just fine on my forums.

[lanc3lot]

I meant, where i have to do the fileedits, in what file or template...

You edit the existing hacks code.

I have never even looked at or thought about it, as I have no need of this.

[lanc3lot]

Damn, hope u find a little time and do so

[lanc3lot]

Update

Ok found it, i was using the one with the product, thats why i couldnt find it before

Thnx, hope it can be done for admins the one i said too


Update 2

PaulM, although i did the step one, the last post time, is not being updated in the time of the last post but stays with the time of the first one..

Any hints?

[Puntoboy]

any update on this? it is fully released yet?

will be good for the classifieds section to prevent people from bumping for sale posts.

i'm a total noob so any help will be greatly appreciated.
