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, attachments will be added to the old post as well.
This will be done until the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself)
by changing $do_bump in the script, you can define wether the post's time will be altered or not.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install

Notice: If you have installed the Proxy ip to real ip conversion or Proxy Detector v3.1 Hack, then you should probably take a look at this post.

just if $do_bump is set to true

Let's say a user makes a post and maxs out the number of attachments.
WHat happens when within the very short interval ( which considers the next post a double post ) , he posts again with an attachment.

Can this handle that ?

hello all,
I have tried to install this hack but I get the following error:
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: 
						SELECT postid, pagetext, post.title, post.userid
						FROM post AS post
						LEFT JOIN deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')
						WHERE threadid = 
							AND dateline > 1103982928
							AND visible = 1 AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
						ORDER BY dateline DESC
						LIMIT 1
			
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND dateline > 1103982928
							AND visible = 1 AND deletionl

mysql error number: 1064

Can someone out their please help me out! thanks

@cinq: actually the attachmentpart is the only little bug which is still there

you can add more attachments then allowed with the doublepost, as the avoidance would have produced too much queries....

@alquadir: the $threadinfo varialbe seems to be empty, you have either placed the code at the wrong place, or you have another hack, which is buggy
nothing i can solve.

So in this hack, it doesnt cater for that, and the post with new attachments will just be a new post, correct ?

If so, that's fine with me

[Xenon]

nope, it will just merge them, no matter if you get over the limit or not

[cinq]

oic, so the first post will have more attachments than the max limit per post.

I'm fine with it too, but do let us know if you manage a workaround for it
thanks !

of course

i'll work onit on my free days soon

Version 1.5 released

actually it's just a minor release, so i won't send an update mail

What has changed?
Bugfix: Doubleposts won't create posts with more than attachlimit attachments
Setting: I have created a settingarray at the top of the hack, allowing to easyly changint the timespan of when a post will be counted as doublepost.

No further changes are planned right now.

Just to confirm Stefan, only when a user posts within the time allocated in a particular thread that the posts are merged.

A scenario :
If he starts a new thread A, or makes a post B1 somewhere in another thread B, both the thread A or new post B1 should not get merged into the post C1 in thread C which he made 5 mins ago before making post B1 or new thread A, correct ?

( sorry if it sounds confusing, but it seems some of my members are complaining about this .... odd )
