New Posting Features - Doublepost Prevention Plus

This branch is no longer supported. Please, use this product.

This is complete rework of Xenon mod, that's not supported for a long time.

Difference:

• No problems with quickpost & AJAX
• Attachments supported
• Easy groups ignore support
• Hooks for customisation

What this mod do:

If user creates 2 sequent posts in a short time, those are merged. That helps to keep your forum clear and prevent topicks bumping.

Setup:

Just import product and change necessary settings. No any edits required.

If you limit posts edit time, it's recommended to make merge time === edit time.

PS. Should work with 3.7.x too, but tested only with 3.7.4.

Well done! Thank you for your addon.

Suggestion:
Could you pls include an option to disable this mod for specific forums? Sometime it is useful not to merge every new posting.

Thanks for notice. That's not critical, so i'll upload fix later. Don't like frequent changes .

May be later... can't promiss for sure. But there're hooks, that can be used by addons. For example, I have custom product "trade area" (too specific to publish here), ant it sets different merge time on some forums.

I agree with you. But it was a nice to have for everyone who wants it.

Are you joking? I've used this feature for ages at IPB. vB doesn't have it and doesn't had hight quality coded addons to solve this problem.

What permissions are you asking about? Links to Xenon's mod exists, because some things can't be done in another way, but his product is outdated and a bit useless. And nobody cared about proper solution for 2 years.

So the answer is no, you did not request permission to use his work?

For example, kind of like the comments and phrases in there that are identical to Xenon's mod?

If a mod is outdated, unless permission is given, it is not reason to just fix and release. When an author creates a piece of work, that author holds the copyright to that work unless given permission to allow someone else to use it, whether it be marked re-usable, or given verbally or written.

hum, did you make the same assumptions when Paul M released his own version (used here!)...

Davidw,

My native language is Russian, and my English is not good enougth. If you think, that english letters and phrases are copyrighted, it's not a problem to change. I hope, anyone will help me.

I own project, linked in my profile. And I have full time hired programmers too. I'm not sure, that there any kind of "copyrighted work", that i need to use to solve my problems. I can't be hired for money and I'm able to share my hight quality work for free, without asking any gratices or benefits. Link to Xenon's mod was given to better explain, that this mod does.

If you think, that my publicathion violates some rules - remove it. That will be a headache of community, but not mine. My time is a bit expencive, to spend it for unclear copyright complains.
