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 ;

is there any way to make this work only in certain forums?

I have been using this MOD since it was introduced back in the day and it has served out community beautifully. From the start we modified it and I have been carrying the custom code over between releases. I figured someone could benefit from it as well.

The customization produces a doublepost /merged message with time function on a lower key than the default prompt.

Vestibulum diam risus, euismod id, tristique sed, mollis vitae, massa. Donec ante nibh, euismod ac, iaculis a, rutrum quis, neque. Donec vel velit. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam id nunc sed mi mollis lacinia.

Vestibulum diam risus, euismod id, tristique sed, mollis vitae, massa. Donec ante nibh, euismod ac, iaculis a, rutrum quis, neque. Donec vel velit. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam id nunc sed mi mollis lacinia.

Customization for this is quite simple, and can be accomplished in two ways.

1. editing the .xml file directly(which I prefer) and overwriting the existing installtion or...
2. editing the installed plugin and keeping the installation.

Method 1. edit the product file product-xenon_prevdoublepost.xml and fine the following line(line 55)

        $doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message'];

and replace with:

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n\n" . $post['message'];

Method 2. Through ACP open: Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager: [Product : Prevent Doubleposts] > Main Doublepost Prevent Engine. and In the Plugin PHP Code window find the following code:

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n" . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n" . $post['message'];

and replace with:

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "\n\n" . $post['message'];

And thats it. Hope this helps someone.

Very nice modification.
But can this not also be achieved by using the "Post seperator" option in Ezbounce itselve?

It might, but I'm not sure about the accurate time stamp though.

Is it posible to put Admins name instead of the users on the last edited by notice?

Did you enable it? Because it's disabled by default.
