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.

Thanks Xenon

I'll look back over it to make sure it wasnt a stupid mistake on my part

EDIT:
IT WAS a stupid mistake on my part. :tired: Thanks, it's all fixed now

as of now i haven't installed the hack yet .. although i plan to do so as soon as the following question is answered.

what happens if there are too many attachments overall ?

for example: post A 3 attachments | post B 4 attachments | overall allowed attachments per post = 5

[Xenon]

AFAIK the attachmenttest are done during the upload within the popup window, so it should not be affected by this hack at all.

but i cannot say for sure, never tested this specific thing

after how much time the hack don't update the last post ?

For exemple i have a post that is 1 week old. I want to "bump" the topic with a new news, will the hack bump the topic i reply again ?

Standart is 1 hour, but you can change this if you want.
It's one value in the code to change

I guess setting the TIMENOW value from 3600 to 259200 will make it 3 days then right? I actually want to prevent double posting in any circumstance. Whatfor have we got an edit function

[Xenon]

Absolutelly correct

if you want to prevent DP at all, just remove that line:

				AND dateline > " . (TIMENOW - 3600) . "
