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, attachments will be added to the old post as well.
This will be done until the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself)
by changing $do_bump in the script, you can define wether the post's time will be altered or not.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install

Notice: If you have installed the Proxy ip to real ip conversion or Proxy Detector v3.1 Hack, then you should probably take a look at this post.

Yup, I installed the latest 1.4 version.

[Xenon]

hmm, kay thx for reporting, i'll look into it

[HappyPike]

1) Xenon, how can I turn off this feature for certain forums? For example, for forum IDs 5, 10, and 20?

Some of my users have been whining because they need to reserve several posts in a row for some types of threads in certain forums.

2) It would be great if the make new post page can be edited to include a checkbox that says something like "Disable auto-merging". This way posters who prefer to make the post separate has a mean to do so. I wouln't need to disable the feature just for certain forums if this possible.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm, sorry the attachment problem will stay a while, as attachment setting checkings are done somewhere else and not where the other checks are done, i'll try to write an easy fix, but i'm currently strongly overworked, and so the next version may take a bit of time...

as for excluding some forums:

find:

PHP Code:

if ($type != 'thread' AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - 3600 AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername']) 


and change it into:

PHP Code:

if ($type != 'thread' AND !in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(x,y,z)) AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - 3600 AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername']) 


and replace x,y,z with your list of forumids

Sensational mod. *theArchitect clicks install*.

Will you be releasing an updated ones that works with your Hidden Posts mod? I only ask as since I have installed this if I post in a thread and then write a hidden post the two are combined. As you can imagine this is not the best scenario.

[Xenon]

hmm, actually i don't like to post hack which include other hacks' infos so that everyone can use a single hack without needing another, but i may look at it, if it's doable without getting in problems with single instals i'll do so

[silentwille]

Hello,
any question, it's possible to add "Edit by" or other, when the second post is merged in the post of member ??

Thx

[Xenon]

Not by default.

It's on my todo list, but i'm too busy with moreimportant things these times...

[Yuneek]

I installed and then tested and I could double post fine - is it because I'm an administrator?

[Xenon]

Erm, nope, i did not implement any Adminspecial within that hack, so you may have made a little mistake during the install process?

[leeman]

installed and works like a charm.

question.

is there a way to make this take Threads instead....
To prevent spamming of the boards.
I have a couple of users that when they are bored they post like 5 pages of mumbo jumbo....

*LEE clicks install

[Xenon]

well, of course it's possible as well, but this would be contraproductive as well.

i know more situations when two or more threads are created shortly behind each other, but not to spam (for example news threads on some boards...)

Yeah that's true ...
But I get alotta problems with tr00ls spamming my board ...

And I have taken this question to the board and every one thinks it a good idea ... Just need to put the "last post time" to like +15 secs of flood time ...

So if you can alter it to / make a additional mod with this funktion ..... :insert you rock slimie here: .

[Xenon]

wouldn't it be easier to put up rules? ^^

Well rules doesn't stop them from spamming.... and gives the mods a hell of a time cleaning it up ....
