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 ;

Yes you can exclude forums in which you don't want it to work.

Has anyone come up with a good line for adding to the post for this?

[mariocaz]

The same question as Boofo, will be great if somebody have a line like this forum have.

To answer both post you can found it 1 page back.
I also wanted to know how to do it and its 2 pages back.

Find this code:

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

Replace it with this

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n[SIZE=\"1\"][COLOR=\"Silver\"]" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "[/color][/size]\n\n" . $post['message'];

Thats all

[Boofo]

That does minutes and seconds, not the date and time like on here.

[mariocaz]

And also I don´t know why in my forum don´t appears in little size and blue.

[Black Tiger]

I would rather have xx hours and xx minutes later then xx minutes and xx seconds or a date.
So if anybody has a solution to the line for hours and minuts I would appreciate it.

@Mariocaz: It does not appear in color standard as far as I know, at least on my forums it only appears in bold and black like normal text, so I would like the option for coloring the line too if anybody knows how to do this.

Works great!

Yes, be sure to manually enable the plugin, because it is disabled by default.

Okay...

I see we have 55 pages of posts here...and to be honest...I'm lazy and don't feel like searching through every post to find a resolution to the issues I'm facing with this mod.

I'm currently running vb 3.6.8 PL2 and this mod is working...other than for the problems listed below:

1. The Quick Reply feature...which I have read about, here in this thread, but don't believe the fix is specifically for my version of vbulletin...I could be wrong, but if someone could let me know...I'd much appreciate it.

2. If a person does double-post, then the auto merged post is not included in the New Posts if doing a search for new posts.

3. I also want the following line added as the separation for the merged posts:

On [Today's Date] at [The Current Time] [username] added...

So, if anyone, with kindness in their heart, would like to assist me with this...again, I'd really appreciate it. You don't even have to be kind, really...just have a willingness to help...LOL!

Hmm..... I'll see if I can have a try answering you.

1.) I don't know of any fix, mine was running non 3.6.8 pl2 fine without any fix as far as I know. But I'm not sure if my users used the quickreply so maybe you need the fix.

2.) That's normal behaviour, a merge post is in fact not a new post but an edited post. Edited post do not show up as new posts.

3.) A few more users asked that one, so we have to wait until somebody answers how to code such line.

I was not much of a help for you, except maybe by explaining question 2, but he... every little bit of help is something.
