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.
This will be done until the old post is older than 24 hours (you can change this timespan yourself)

Nothing more to say about that, it's the quite same as my vb3.0 version.

This Mod should run with 3.6 as well


** Please make sure you ENABLE this product after you install it - it is disabled by default. **

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

Hmm, I think i'll play around a bit with this when I got time ... want this a Plugin only

oh, on my side i have added :
$vbulletin->options['doublepost_automerge_timespan'] = number of minutes prefered
$vbphrase[posting_doublepost_msg] = Automerge Double Posting

... good to have if you don't like to edit your hacks all the time!

permission would be good too... "bypass per usergroup.." ... and per forum...

anyway, i'm god, i can do that myself.. lol

When you get the bypass for admins and mods please let me know. I have this line but I don't think it's right for 3.5.

PHP Code:

 AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)) 


Kirby, if you get it going as a plug-in, please let me know.

Yay I have been waiting for this thanks man!

[Xenon]

@Bob: it's

PHP Code:

AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)) 


and right now it is not possible as plugin only without adding a bunch of code, and i admit i was too lazy to do so

[Boofo]

Thank you, sir.

You got the right idea, Stefan. Make the boar you used as a testboard do the plug-in. LOL

ok, i'll be VERY generous here, and release a hack already for this tool...

a Per Forum Activation of the Automerge...

i add the prod in the html tag here... to set Per Forum if the Automerge is active or not, and here is the modification for the hack itself:

in the hack, FIND:

PHP Code:

    if ($type != 'thread' 


and REPLACE BY:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['force_automerge'] AND $type != 'thread' 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

so Xenon, you know what to do with this...
