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.

of course you can't

the seperator will become part of the post, and if you don't allow html in posts, you cannot use it

After upgrade to 3.0.5/3.0.6 i have the same thing here.
Before, admins (i don't know if mods or supermods too) were not affected by the anti-doublepost.

And now... works for admins too.
Anything wrong?
Obviously, i applied the hack again after upgrade.

How exclude admins?

Has anyone every included the mod to this hack to update the editlog table? These forums are using it so I know it must exist.

[FASherman]

okay, okay...i figured it out myself.

FIND

PHP Code:

//Update forum if postdate has changed.
if ($dp_settings['dobump'])
{
    $DB_site->query("
     UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
     SET lastpost = " . TIMENOW . ",
     lastposter = '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     lastthread = '" . addslashes($threadinfo['title']) . "',
     lastthreadid = $threadinfo[threadid],
     lasticonid = " . iif($threadinfo['pollid'], -1, $threadinfo['iconid']) . "
     WHERE forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
    ");
} 


AFTER THAT, ADD:

PHP Code:

//Now lets update the editlog
$reason = "Automerged Doublepost";
$lastedit = $DB_site->query_first("
     SELECT postid, userid, username, dateline, reason 
     FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog 
     WHERE postid = $post[postid]
");
if ($lastedit['postid']) {
    $DB_site->query("
     UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog
     SET postid = $lastedit[postid],
     userid = $bbuserinfo[userid],
     username = '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     dateline = " . TIMENOW . ",
     reason = '" . addslashes($reason) . "'
     WHERE postid = $post[postid]
    ");
} else {
    $DB_site->query("
     INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog
     (postid, userid, username, dateline, reason)
     VALUES ($post[postid], $bbuserinfo[userid], 
     '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     " . TIMENOW . ",'" . addslashes($reason) . "')
    ");
}

@FASherman: well, here on vb.org there are often some more features in my hacks than in the released version, as i don't release every single change immediatelly

but i have uploaded the newest version now, which adds the editlog text

[Imperial Fritz]

Thanks, this hack was much needed.

[That Rob Guy]

I love this hack...

/me clicks install. One of the easiest and worthy hacks to have.

i am going to install this mod but i want the option in the admincp to disable it. i know ill have to put it in <if condition> tags and then an <else> at the end but im not sure exactly how.

so i would need an if and else for the top two codes, and this one ^^ needs just and if..correct? so what would the codes be and what would the code i need to add for an ON and OFF radio button in the admin cp be?

thanks!

it's not needed to post the hack instructions, everyone know them from the file

and actually it's not hard to do.

first of all you have to enable debug mode of your vb.
then got to acp options and you see you can add new settings to the settinggroups
add one to the message posting options yesno as option code
for example:

varname: preventdoubleposts
title Preventing Doubleposting
optioncode yesno
default 1
vbulletin default no

then just change that line:

PHP Code:

if ($type != 'thread' AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $dp_settings['timespan'] AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername']) 


into

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['preventdoubleposts'] AND $type != 'thread' AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $dp_settings['timespan'] AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername']) 


that's all you need
