Prevent Doubleposting

This is why i really want a Mini-Hack section here, please Chen

What this hack does:
When a User posts to 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 would not be done, if he has an attachment in his new post or the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself )

Known bugs: None

Hope someone can use it, i do

Believe this hack includes just 1!! codehack.

Umm right now I'm trying to fix a lil problem with the itemshop has soon has I do so I'll tell you .

Xenon, is there a way to make this be able to turn it off and off in the Admin CP for site testing purposes on various hacks? An option, I mean.

[Xenon]

as you know everything is possible

go to admin/settings.php and create new setting variablename: stopdoublepost
function to create: yesno

and then just before

PHP Code:

$lastpost[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid] || 


in newreply.php add this:

PHP Code:

!$stopdoublepost ||

Stefan, thanks for the help. This is the part that has been stumped, though.

go to admin/settings.php and create new setting variablename: stopdoublepost
function to create: yesno

nice hack man. very nice :nod:

[Boofo]

I found out why I couldn't figure out what you meant, Stefan. The file I needed to set the option in was "admin/setting.php". I was looking for "admin/settings.php". DOHHH!!!

I did what you instructed and it works like a charm. Thank you very much, sir.

Edit: I just noticed that on the first post if I check the "Send User to forums" checkbox (from Firefly's hack), it sends the user back to the forum display. If I check it on a double post (when Prevent Double Posting is enabled), it will not send the user back to the forum display. Instead it sends the user back to view the message. Is there a way to fix that so it will work with the Send User back to forum hack?

@boofo: damn 's'

yes it is possible, look at this:

PHP Code:

            if ($visible) {
            $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=".$lastpost[postid]."#post".$lastpost[postid];
              } else {
            $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
              } 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

            $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]"; 


should work

[Boofo]

I'm sorry, my friend, now all it will do is send me back to the forum display no matter if the "send user back to forum" box is checked or not.

Edit: Fixed! (But only because of you, sir. )

What I did was:

Replace:

PHP Code:

            if ($visible) {
            $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=".$lastpost[postid]."#post".$lastpost[postid];
              } else {
            $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";
              } 


with:

PHP Code:

            if ($visible && !$sendtoforum) {
            $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=".$lastpost[postid]."#post".$lastpost[postid];
              } else {
            $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]"; 


Now it works according to if the box is checked or not and takes you where it should.
