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 ;

Hi there! EXCELLENT MOD! :up:

How is this Mod working on 3.6.8?

And how about 3.7?


Thank you so very much! :up:

[obmob]

didn't worked in 3.6.8, at least not for me... never tried it in 3.7.
3.7 has some new spam features, but don't know if they deal with doubleposting.

You must have done something wrong the, or some other mod/hack is conflicting with this one.
I tried this mod on 2 forums, 1 with 3.6.8, and later 3.6.9 and now 3.6.10 and it works fine.
The other forums is the 3.7.x from beta 3 to gold now, and working fine too.

Correct!

Ok, it is working for me too on 3.6.8!

I use the MODDED version of this Mod that KURTZ posted on reply nr 895 as ADMINS are NOT affected by the Mod!


BUT...! (there is always a 'but'...!)


There is this MAIN problem for international users (I run a portuguese board)

One of the MOST IMPORTANT phrases on this Mod has no capabilities for translation inside vBulletin Phrasing system:

If you are running an international board (and you need to translate into your own language) just open the file:

"product-xenon_prevdoublepost.xml"

or

"product-xenon_prevdoublepost_modded.xml"

BEFORE you install this mod and TRANSLATE the following text (bolded) into your language:


------- original piece of code to TRANSLATE -------

$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'];

------- /original piece of code to TRANSLATE -------


Hope it helps!

Just wondering if the way that vbulletin.org does it has been posted yet?

[Black Tiger]

Not to my knowledge, I would also like to know how it's done here at vb.org.
Meaning date and time rather then minutes and seconds.

See post #889

Paul, did you know that it shows the unix timestamp in email notifications instead of the date and time?

[Paul M]

Actually yes I did, bbcodes dont get converted in emails, so you get the original timestamps. I believe there is a way to suppress them, but Ive never really looked into it - as its a minor irritation.
