New Posting Features - Doublepost Prevention

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is an updated version of the popular modification, previously released by Xenon. It is released with his kind permission.

Basically, if member posts in a thread where they were the previous last poster, then if the conditions are met, their new post will be auto-merged into the previous post instead of creating a new "double" post.

A number of options are provided ;

Time Limit - if more than xxx minutes have passed since the last post, no merge is done.

Timestamp Spacer - if enabled, a timestamped spacer is added between the old post text and the new post text.

Post Timestamp Update - if enabled the newly merged post will have its post time updated to the new time, otherwise it retains the time of the original post.

Spacer Colour - allows you to set the colour of the spacer between merged posts.

Usergroup exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain usergroups from the doublepost merges.

Forum exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain forums form the doublepost merges.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Doublepost Prevention.


To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

I have it installed but I would like to change something.
It now has the size tag in there. I disabled the use of sizes, but it's displayed now with doubleposts like this:

 [ SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:58 ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 ----------[/SIZE ]

How can I get rid of the displaying the size tags?

P.s. the install code of 3.8.004 still says it's 003.

// Start v3.8.003 //
$pidlist = array(
'xenon_prevdoublepost',
);

Go to AdminCP, search in phrases, find & edit

Thats the install code version, which is seperate from the mod version.

The newest timestamp spacer says "Post added by" but the username is missing.

[Paul M]

That must be a change you have made, the supplied spacer phrase does not reference any usernames.

D'oh! You're right, Paul. The default phrase is "Post added at", NOT "Post added by". I misread it this morning. Blame it on not enough coffee.

I have it installed with the facebook connect mod and I don't experience that problem at all.

Thanks Paul! I installed it on my production server and it works like a charm!!! thanks for taking it on.
