New Posting Features - Doublepost Prevention

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

The feature is already built into the core vBulletin 4.2.x code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a current version of the popular modification, originally developed for the early 3.x series by Xenon.

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.
Other spacer choices provided are no spacer, a default, or a custom spacer.

Spacer Colour - allows you to set the colour of the spacer between merged posts (if one is enabled).

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.

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

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

IP Address Check - Specifies if the poster IP should be checked, if enabled, the post will only be merged if the user and ip address are the same.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Doublepost Prevention.

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

[Gripi]

is it possible to make this code to allow double post if the double post is the 2nd post in the thread? only for 2nd post.

because lots of people in my forum reserved the 2nd post to use in the future due to the limitation of total character in a post.

thanks

[Paul M]

Im sure it would be possible, but Im not sure how off the top of my head.

[Gripi]

could someone tell me what is the code like this:

if this post is second post in the thread, abort

or if this post under the 1st post in the thread, abort.

i will put that command inside the plugin manager, and above before the process run.

[Gripi]

hm.. no one could help?

a code like this, but i really2 no idea how to make it works, already tried couple times:

PHP Code:

if ($post[postcount] == 1)
{
    a code to abort the process;
} 


but i'm sure code like this in the plugin that cancel the process:

PHP Code:

    if ($vbulletin->options['pdp_ipcheck']) 
    { 
        if (IPADDRESS != $doublepost['ipaddress']) 
        { 
            $process = false; 
        } 
    } 


please help..

[Paul M]

Try this ;

PHP Code:

    if ($dp_threadinfo['replycount'] == 0) 
    { 
        $process = false; 
    }
