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.

Yeah it's still happening. Is anyone else getting this? 3.0.7 and so far this is the only hack installed. Is it possible that the hack is making amendments to the post table that aren't supported in 3.0.7?

[Imperial Fritz]

I'd like to ask how could this be enabled for everybody, but disabled for just a few people who actually have a reason to post separate posts?

EDIT: ok I read a bit and did it myself

[Brandon Sheley]

very nice hack, i've seen it at sites and was looking for it,, Thank you

1) is this hack Version 3.0.7 friendly?
2) if in the second post, the member exceeds images allowed, what happens? (answer found)
3) are admins and mods excluded from this?

[Xenon]

1) yes, as you can see on vb.org
2)
3) nope, but in this thread you can find the instructions to exclude them

I read the entire thread... those instructions were for an earlier version I believe.. I can't find the code to replace?

I saw a similar hack on another forum software and when the user would add
additional text to a post...

[JohnBee]

*user posted 2 minutes later

It would put something like that between them.
Is it possible to do that with this hack also?

[Xenon]

post seperator can be whatever you want it to be, that's why i added that one into the option array

[JohnBee]

Yes I saw that, but im stuck on the time display thingy :P

I'm not much of a code so I guess I'm asking what code I would stick
there to produce that

If you could tell me that I would be one happy camper
I just read that getting the times in there would require much modification
I have a phpbb hack that does this and there code is HUGE in comparisson
and many table queries where logs /records are created, obviously to
manage or calculate times bewteen merges.

anyways, if someone could show me how to get the users name
into the line I would be happy.

ex: *JohnBee has added shortly after...

In your includes/functions_newpost.php, find the following:

PHP Code:

            // we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
            $doublepost = $DB_site->query_first("
                SELECT postid, pagetext, post.title, post.userid, post.attach 


and replace by:

PHP Code:

            // we are here, so we may have a doublepost -> do more exact checkings
            $doublepost = $DB_site->query_first("
                SELECT postid, pagetext, post.title, post.userid, post.attach, post.dateline AS dateline 


Then find:

PHP Code:

                $post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . $post['message']; 


and replace by:

PHP Code:

                $post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . "$bbuserinfo[username] posted " . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60) . " minutes later:\n" . $post['message']; 


I don't have this hack installed and i didn't test the above example. So test this first on a testboard.

[JohnBee]

WOW!

Dude it works!:thumbsup:
I needs a little formating but WOW! this is exactly like the phpBB hack except its
1000 lines shorter LMAO!

One thing that I noticed is it posts a highly accurate time stamp
like *User posted 1.222343424 mins later.

it doesnt do it all the time but quite often.

WHat kind of text formating can I apply to this, I didn't t see any html in the
newpost.php anywheres so im assuming it uses something else, I noticed the
/n is a cr equivalent or something, so I will research it, I want to make it
smaller and dark blue...

once again thank you for your great support everyone

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Change:

PHP Code:

((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60) 


To:

PHP Code:

intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60) 


[JohnBee]

Thank you MarcoH64

The fixed the .2122223332 problem, it seems of of round it off to the minute.
is there a way to round it off to the min.second ?

ex: *User has posted 1 minutes 42 seconds later

or *User has posted 1.23 minutes later

either or would work nicely

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Ok, change that line to:

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . "$bbuserinfo[username] has posted " . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60) . " minutes " . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) % 60). " seconds later:\n" . $post['message']; 


Or:

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . $dp_settings['spacer'] . "$bbuserinfo[username] posted " . round(((TIMENOW - $doublepost[dateline]) / 60), 2) . " minutes later:\n" . $post['message'];
