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.
This will be done until the old post is older than 24 hours (you can change this timespan yourself)

Nothing more to say about that, it's the quite same as my vb3.0 version.

This Mod should run with 3.6 as well


** Please make sure you ENABLE this product after you install it - it is disabled by default. **

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

Thank you very much Xenon

PHP Code:

AND strlen($post['message']) <= 400) 


Boofo, use

PHP Code:

    $dp_settings = array(
        'timespan' => 3600 * 24,// how many seconds after the last post the new post is defined as doublepost
        'spacer' => "\n\n",    // What should be between the old post and the new one (default: two empty lines)
        'editedbymsg' => 'Automerged Doublepost', // If left blank no edited by will appear
        'maxchars' => 400, // Max chars where post is merged.
    ); 


and

PHP Code:

AND strlen($post['message']) <= $dp_settings['maxchars'] ) 


Good idea, thanks!

It doesnt really matter to me much, but there is a case when "guest" dont change username, it will use default one "Unregistered User" as username.
Other can post with the same default "Unregistered User" too, right?

[Xenon]

yep, you are right..

hmm, is it worth to add an extra check there?
i mean, how many boards allow unregistred users to post at all?

[Devii]

*hopes this is a plugin soon* I miss it so.

[Snake]

Yeah me too, I can't wait for it.

yeah, it's not really worth it,

just as an additional to Boofo query above, I use:

should it be harder or something? i

PHP Code:

AND !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,5,6,7)) 


for me, I have some box for troubleshooting, and sometime, member (or guest) keep posting alot of questions in there .


anyway, it's optional.

[Xenon]

that's ok so.

you might also consider to disalbe it on some forums maybe..
like vb.org disabled it on the release forums..

[ozmazdaclub]

is this no auto updating the last post using ajax or is it still broken... if fixed are the instructions updated?

[JohnBee]

I cannot confirm that the ajax is fixed either, I really enjoyed this hack when it was on 3.0.x I hope they get fixed soon!

How would you disable it in certain forums?
