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 ;

OK how do I add multiple groups to not be affected? Like say I have multiple groups of Moderators and staff? can I just put xenon's code mulitple times? cause it doesnt seem to work that way

I know the cause now. it doesnt work, if the prefix hack is used in a forum and then when the poster does the first and second post.

[Xenon]

@pipin: ahh, that may be a reason, as those forums are excluded here on vb.org

I totally love this hack!
I modded the old file based on and had it down to a sience on our forum, everyone loved it!

I was eager to add thes one to our new forum but I hit a wall because it seems to process thing a little differently now. Basically what I want is this:

Can somone help me get it working this way?
Also I liked the old system better than this warning for merger approach but hey... im not complaining, this hack kicks ass!

[Xenon]

well, the old way does work again, but you have to disable Ajax

as for the second thing

hmm, not tried, but test it

edit the plugin Main Doublepost Prevent Engine

find that line:

PHP Code:

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message']; 


and change into:

PHP Code:

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added after ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message']; 


or the like

Great! - When you say disable ajax, do you mean turn it off for the entire forum?

I added the MOD you suggested but when I did the double post prevention stopped working

Also I wanted to ask.
Is it possible to use the old file edit based hack on 3.5.4 to continue to acheive the old results?

[Xenon]

review my post above, i missed a dot

jep, i mean for the entire forum

nope, the file edit will be a bit easier than the plugin version is, but the old results can't be achieved, because the old version was during a time, ajax wasn't used for quick reply
