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.

Oh that's GENIUS.

I'm installing this one for sure after the next release... Genius, I tell you...

I've uploaded a new version.

Now there is a variable included so you can define yourself, wether the post's date will be altered or not

I think one of my users has spotted a bug. If someone posts, then deletes their post, then posts again then the new text is appended to a deleted post, and thus it's not visible. Is there something you can add in to check if the post it is about to be added to is deleted or not?

[Xenon]

d'oh.
yesterday i reported a quite similar vb3 bug and now i made it myself....

thx, i've fixed it

[The Quibbler]

I've already installed it, and I'd rather not do the whole thing over again, so could you tell me what needs to be changed to fix that error?

[Xenon]

it's just the very first query:

PHP Code:

        // doublepost check
        if ($type != 'thread' AND $doublepost = $DB_site->query_first("
            SELECT postid, pagetext, post.userid 
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post 
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')
            WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
                AND dateline > " . (TIMENOW - 3600) . "
                AND visible = 1 AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
            ORDER BY dateline DESC 
            LIMIT 1
        ") AND $doublepost['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])

QUESTION : Will posting a new post bump the topic ?

I have the last post...wright ? But it have been for about 1 WEEK. So the topic is down. I post a new post...but this HACK will paste my new post intro the old one wright ? But the topic will remain DOWN or it will be BUMPED ? Coz if he remain down, then this hack is not to GOOD.
