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.

Awesome work on that Xenon, I had something like this going, but this is much better, much more optimized, and well it works and it works good!

glad to hear Arunan

@Baptizer: i think i answered it already within the thread, but short again: you can change the \n\n in

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n" . $post['message']; 


to add custom text between the posts as well.

THanks a bunch! Any way to get the time of the double post to display using the post viewers timezone? I am guessing not, correct?

[Xenon]

nope, that's not possible, at least not without adding extram fields to the post table (or creating something like a doublepost log)

I installed the mod and didn't notice any code excluding administrators and moderators from the restriction. How can I prevent it from blocking admins & moderators?

In this thread here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...0603post600603
I posted twice in a row, and because it has the hack to show the first thread at the beginning of every page, it didn't merge my posts. It let me post at the end of one page and at the beginning of another???

Just an observation. I don't even have this hack installed.

UPDATE...

Xenon clarifies this below. It is not a bug.

[Xenon]

i have excluded the release forums from the automerge

How can I put a separator to separate a first post and a second post when they both show up in the same post?

[Xenon]

as i said, you can put everything between the \n\n

this is already a seperator, put in some dashes or whatever

I can't seem to put HTML in there. It just outputs <hr /> as &lt;hr /&gt;

[Xenon]

of course you can't

the seperator will become part of the post, and if you don't allow html in posts, you cannot use it

After upgrade to 3.0.5/3.0.6 i have the same thing here.
Before, admins (i don't know if mods or supermods too) were not affected by the anti-doublepost.

And now... works for admins too.
Anything wrong?
Obviously, i applied the hack again after upgrade.

How exclude admins?

Has anyone every included the mod to this hack to update the editlog table? These forums are using it so I know it must exist.

[FASherman]

okay, okay...i figured it out myself.

FIND

PHP Code:

//Update forum if postdate has changed.
if ($dp_settings['dobump'])
{
    $DB_site->query("
     UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
     SET lastpost = " . TIMENOW . ",
     lastposter = '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     lastthread = '" . addslashes($threadinfo['title']) . "',
     lastthreadid = $threadinfo[threadid],
     lasticonid = " . iif($threadinfo['pollid'], -1, $threadinfo['iconid']) . "
     WHERE forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
    ");
} 


AFTER THAT, ADD:

PHP Code:

//Now lets update the editlog
$reason = "Automerged Doublepost";
$lastedit = $DB_site->query_first("
     SELECT postid, userid, username, dateline, reason 
     FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog 
     WHERE postid = $post[postid]
");
if ($lastedit['postid']) {
    $DB_site->query("
     UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog
     SET postid = $lastedit[postid],
     userid = $bbuserinfo[userid],
     username = '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     dateline = " . TIMENOW . ",
     reason = '" . addslashes($reason) . "'
     WHERE postid = $post[postid]
    ");
} else {
    $DB_site->query("
     INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog
     (postid, userid, username, dateline, reason)
     VALUES ($post[postid], $bbuserinfo[userid], 
     '" . addslashes($post['postusername']) . "',
     " . TIMENOW . ",'" . addslashes($reason) . "')
    ");
}

@FASherman: well, here on vb.org there are often some more features in my hacks than in the released version, as i don't release every single change immediatelly

but i have uploaded the newest version now, which adds the editlog text
