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


** Please make sure you ENABLE this product after you install it - it is disabled by default. **

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

No sorry I don't know, it's not my adjustment. Somewhere I've seen still another, more like you wanted, I have looked for it but can't find it anymore.

Any Idea how to excluded a ForumID from beeing affected?

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)

It collides at NuWiki if the Articlewriter wants to post a first Comment.

Here is the edited product, which works in 3.6.8, and it is no longer disabled by default.

Thanks to Xenon for a great mod.

which works in 3.6.8

What was needed to be edited then? The original one also worked in 3.6.8. You only changed the "disabled by default" or did you also change other things?

[yoyoyoyo]

well, perhaps I worded it poorly - just stating it works in 3.6.8, not implying the other one didn't...

I made the changes indicated here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=725
and also made it enabled by default, since many people seemed to have problems with that.

[Black Tiger]

Ah oke, I understand. Nice change, thanks!
Is the option from the change you made selectable like an on/off setting?

Anyone ?

i would love it if when someone double posts and it is merged it would time stamp the merge,

i have mine set up that when it is merged it says -edit- above the merge, looks nice, and a time stamp next to it would be great

Which is how I want it, it shows up like this:

User Poster xx Hours and xx Minutes Later

In the same size font and colour as regular user posts so you cant tell the difference between the Post Separator and what the actual user wrote!?

Please someone must know.

I achieved what you're looking for by editing the "Main Doublepost Prevent Engine" plugin. You can replace all the code in it with the following.

PHP Code:

// ########### Xenon's prevent doublepost modification #########

$vbulletin->GPC['xen_isdoublepost'] = false;

// parse custom conditions
$custcond = true;
if (trim($vbulletin->options['xen_dp_custcond']) != '')
{
    eval('$custcond = ((' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_custcond'] . ') ? true : false);');
}


// 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)
{
    // we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
    $doublepost = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
        SELECT post.*
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')
        WHERE post.threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
            AND post.dateline > " . (TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_timespan'] * 60) . "
            AND post.visible = 1 AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
            AND post.postid <> $post[postid]
        ORDER BY post.dateline DESC
        LIMIT 1
    ");

    if ($doublepost['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $doublepost['attach'] == 0)
    {
        // we truely have a doublepost, now check if the merged post still fits the rules!
        $dpdataman =& datamanager_init('Post', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
        $dpdataman->set_existing($doublepost);
        $doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n[SIZE="1"][COLOR="Silver"]" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "[/COLOR][/SIZE]\n\n" . $post['message'];

        // set info
        $dpdataman->set_info('preview', $post['preview']);
        $dpdataman->set_info('parseurl', $post['parseurl']);
        $dpdataman->set_info('posthash', $post['posthash']);
        $dpdataman->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
        $dpdataman->set_info('thread', $dp_threadinfo);

        // set options
        $dpdataman->setr('showsignature', $post['signature']);
        $dpdataman->setr('allowsmilie', $post['enablesmilies']);

        // set data
        $dpdataman->setr('pagetext', $doublepost['message']);
        $dpdataman->setr('iconid', $post['iconid']);

        $dpdataman->pre_save();
        if (!$dpdataman->errors)
        {
            // merged post is ok, so actually do the merging by editing old post
            $vbulletin->GPC['xen_isdoublepost'] = true;

            {

                $doublepost['dateline'] = TIMENOW;
                $dpdataman->setr('dateline', $doublepost['dateline']);
            }
            $dpdataman->save();

            // as we have edited an old post, we can now delete the new created post
            $postman =& datamanager_init('Post', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_SILENT, 'threadpost');
            $postman->set_existing($post);
            $postman->delete($foruminfo['countposts'], $threadinfo['threadid'], $removaltype = true, array('userid' => $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], 'username' => $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], 'reason' => $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_editedby'], 'keepattachments' => false), false);
            unset($postman);

            $doublepost['oldmessage'] = $post['message'];
            $post = $doublepost;
            $id = $post['postid'];

            //now add edited by message
            if ($vbulletin->options['xen_dp_editedby'] != '')
            {
                $vbulletin->db->query_write("
                    REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog (postid, userid, username, dateline, reason)

            }

            // last step update counters
            build_thread_counters($post['threadid']);
            build_forum_counters($foruminfo['forumid']);
        }
    }
}
