Prevent Doubleposting

This is why i really want a Mini-Hack section here, please Chen

What this hack does:
When a User posts to 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 would not be done, if he has an attachment in his new post or the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself )

Known bugs: None

Hope someone can use it, i do

Believe this hack includes just 1!! codehack.

Xenon, I have a question. How can I exempt one thread from the double post prevention?

if($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] ==6 ||$lastpost[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid] || (time()-$lastpost[dateline])>3600 || ($attachmentid and !$foruminfo[moderateattach])) {

Is it something to do with this line? Do I just add || $threadid=2171 to it???

[Xenon]

yes right, but you should use $threadinfo['threadid'] == 2171

Ah ok, yesterday I decided to pick up my php book and learn each page from the start slowly step by step, so hopefully in a few months i'll be able to hack much bigger hacks . Thanks for the code though.

Is there a way to make this say edited by "name" on "date"

you know, the standard edit text when someone posts?

Is it possible to make it do this after the same amount of time that my normal time is set ebfore having it diplay edited by?

I have it set to 2 minutes, so how would I do this?

I tried:

PHP Code:

else {
            if($lastpost[pagetext]!=$message) {
              $editedbysql="";
              if ($showeditedby and $lastpost[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*1))) {
                 $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
              } 


without any luck... Probably something stupid I didn't think of.. :ermm:
