Doublepost = Not counted in user's post count

We all know that sometimes there is a need to post a couple times in a row, whether it be multiple attachments, posting updates, etc. This hack will make it so that the double/triple/whatever post is not added to the user's post count, but still shown and updated in the forum and thread count. I kow at some boards there is a lot of competition in post counts, and although doubleposting is not looked highly upon in most forums, this would ensure that the user isn't getting any benefit out of it. Plus people could use it for bumping topics, etc, etc, etc. This hack will also make it so if that doublepost is deleted, it will not subtract from the user's postcount. Since it was never added in the first place, it shouldn't be a problem .

NOTE: I did use (with permission) the query and if statement from Xenon's Prevent Doubleposting hack.

This is a simple hack which only involves 2 file edits (editpost.php and newreply.php). And it does work with the QRB =P. If you have any questions, etc, post them here.


DOESN'T WORK.

Increments is for the hack that allows you to make a users post count go backwards instead of forward.

Is incrementposts() a functions in your functions.php? If so, you'd need to edit that function...

Ok, I have it now. If you use g-force's first edit to newreply.php (post#9) and Xenon's editpost.php edit (post#13) it works perfectly. Thanks again guys. I really learned a lot from this whole 'fiasco' as g-force put it. I'll put this in Full release, but all the credit totally goes to you g-force2k2 and you Xenon.

It works perfect for me without adding the code for the newreply.php.

But wouldn't that keep adding the posts?

Also, I don't understand what the attachment problem is.

It didn't when I did a bunch of double posts. It only added 1 post count for the first one and no more for any double posts after that. And when I deleted them all it only took the post count down by 1. It has me curious, too. But isn't a double post basically just editing the message that is already there?

The attachment thing, I have no idea what Xenon means with that. But if he brought it up, then it must mean something, somewhere.

I think you guys are thinking of doublepost to literally. I just mean multiple posts in a row in a thread by the same user.

[Austin Dea]

Ok, I tried it with just the editpost.php edit and it kept raising my post count =P. What was odd though was that if I typed the exact same message and hit submit, it would go to the redirect thing, but the post wasn't there...o_O

Ok, here's are my instrucs. I edited your chunk Xenon since I thought the time didn't matter and you said to make attachments work (although I never saw what was wrong with them) to take that part out.

In newreply.php find:

PHP Code:

".iif ($foruminfo[countposts],"posts=posts+1,","")." 


Reaplce it with (code by g-force2k2)

PHP Code:

".iif ($foruminfo[countposts],"posts=posts+'".iif($threadinfo[lastposter] == "$bbuserinfo[username]",'0','1')."',","")." 


In editpost.php, find:

PHP Code:

deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]); 


Raplce it with (code by Xenon):

PHP Code:

// doublepost = no count hack
      $lastpost = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,postid FROM post WHERE threadid = '$threadid' AND postid<$postid ORDER BY postid DESC LIMIT 1");
      if ($lastpost[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid]) {
          deletepost($postid,$foruminfo[countposts],$threadinfo[threadid]);
      } else {
          deletepost($postid,$countposts=0,$threadinfo[threadid]);
             }
// end doublepost = no count hack 


Works perfectly =P.

I am going by the meaning of double Posting like Xenon meant in his hack. I have it set to one hour right now but it can be adjusted. I also have an addon that will turn double posting prevention off altogether (for testing purposes or what not). This is all I want this hack for. The rest of the time, it really doesn't matter. The spamming is what I want to avoid. So, you do it for ALL double posts and I will try to come up with something to compliment Xenon's hack.

[Austin Dea]

Ok. My original intention was just to have it so multiple posts by the same person would not effect their postcount.

Again I'd like to say thanks to Xenon and g-force2k2, and you guys get full credit for the hack .
