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 ;

It involves changes to the actual plugin code and also vbulletin_quick_reply.js

Thanks! Okay I'm going to read your post more carefully, and ask appropriate questions once I've completely RTFM.

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.

I've seen something similar to this working pretty good on vB.org and I always feel like I really need something like it on my board. But after reading tons of pages I just can't figure out how.

As Xenon seems to be out of this for a long time why not take over it for improvements ?

I believe someone from the community needs to pick it up not the board staff.

Finally I got it working good with time stamp on my 3.8.0 but there was a conflict with another mod Live Mod . The problems seems the Ajax trick from this one os conflicting each other and when I have a bump post that should be merged the user has the impression that nothing happens (but it does) and if you keep trying to post the same thing when you reload the page the merged post is showed with lots of merged things as much as you tried before.

I've got what you mean but as Paul M has a lot of published mods here (very good ones BTW) and it seems he know exactly what our needs for it, why not ?

That code is ancient, and not what I am referring to.

Id be surprised if that still works as the mod itself has changed since that was posted - I would not suggest anyone use it now.

Last I checked I was "from the community ". I have many mods released here.

Paul M, i looked at your edits but i could only find the //set info so i could only ad the first edit to the plugin (i assume its done in plugin manager?) hwo and where do i find the rest of it, i dont seem to have a

PHP Code:

if ($isdoublepost)
    {
        $id = $doublepost['postid'];
        $dataman->save();

This is working on my 3.8 board just fine. I have had it since it's inception.

JFYI, Xenon has given me permission to release an updated version, I will try and do this over the next week.

Yippee!!!!!! thanks Paul.

I didn't mean to exclude you from the superset of the community.

Thats great Paul, reading through the 75 pages here (well most of them....honest!) there are lots of wants and wishes for a 3.8 version, i look forward to it, like always from you it will be something special and easy to install

[Paul M]

Not all wants and wishes will be granted

[ePrOmD]

Hi paul, I am bothered again!
But as I see you're watching something on this hack. I wonder if by chance you don´t know how to solve the problem that this hack don´t join post that contain attachments.

Thanks again!
