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.

Awesome work on that Xenon, I had something like this going, but this is much better, much more optimized, and well it works and it works good!

glad to hear Arunan

@Baptizer: i think i answered it already within the thread, but short again: you can change the \n\n in

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $post['message']; 


to add custom text between the posts as well.

THanks a bunch! Any way to get the time of the double post to display using the post viewers timezone? I am guessing not, correct?

[Xenon]

nope, that's not possible, at least not without adding extram fields to the post table (or creating something like a doublepost log)

I installed the mod and didn't notice any code excluding administrators and moderators from the restriction. How can I prevent it from blocking admins & moderators?

In this thread here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...0603post600603
I posted twice in a row, and because it has the hack to show the first thread at the beginning of every page, it didn't merge my posts. It let me post at the end of one page and at the beginning of another???

Just an observation. I don't even have this hack installed.

UPDATE...

Xenon clarifies this below. It is not a bug.

i have excluded the release forums from the automerge

How can I put a separator to separate a first post and a second post when they both show up in the same post?

[Xenon]

as i said, you can put everything between the \n\n

this is already a seperator, put in some dashes or whatever

I can't seem to put HTML in there. It just outputs <hr /> as &lt;hr /&gt;
