Prevent Doubleposting

This is why i really want a Mini-Hack section here, please Chen

What this hack does:
When a User posts to 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 would not be done, if he has an attachment in his new post or the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself )

Known bugs: None

Hope someone can use it, i do

Believe this hack includes just 1!! codehack.

hmm, no idea then, it should work normally...

lol

Well if you don't know then it must be REALLY weird... I thought that would work too... Oh well, I can just tell admins if they don't want it to show "edited by" to just actually edit the post instead of replying. That's alright I guess.

Thanks anyway.

thanks for another amazing hack
1 quick eustion
am i right in saying that if u want to change the amount of time given before a new post is made i just edit this line
if ($showeditedby and $lastpost['dateline'] < (time() - ($noeditedbytime * 60))) {
and change the 60 into whatever i want?

nope, you have to change the 3600 in this line:

PHP Code:

      if($lastpost['userid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid'] OR (time() - $lastpost['dateline']) > 3600 OR ($attachmentid and !$foruminfo['moderateattach'])) { 


[TranceMaster]

oooops
ok thanks for the help man

that 3600, is that seconds?
lets say i wanted to make it for 24 hours, would i just find out how many seconds are in 24 hours, and put it in?

[Xenon]

exactly

or to make it easier to read just write 3600 * 24

I think I may have found a bug. I have the post limit at 18000 characters. I have posts being ammended going beyond that. One guy kept reposting and reposting and it kept being ammended to the previous post so his single post has 42000 characters now.
