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.

Could you describe a little better how it deals with IMG and attachemnts ? e.g. Does it consider number of file on permissions or it the second post (the double one) has IMG or attachments merge are not made ?

Preventing equal post duplication is embedded into vB, and this feature is left intact. This mod goal is to merge DIFFERENT sequent posts of the same author.

Merged post = Old post text + separator(optional) + New post text.
Merged attachments = Old post attachments + New post attachments.

I'm not shure, that understang your question.

I got your idea, specially on the second situation you mentioned. What happens for example if Old post has 3 attachements and New post has another 3 different ones but I have a 5 attachments set as a limit ? How about IMGs ?

If post is not merged, then AJAX will be used, with no full page reload.

If post is megred, then page will be refreshed via redirect. It's the same, as if you try to do quickpost not from the last thread page, you can check

That's acceptable tradeoff to have mod with no code edits and compatible with future vb releases. I hate mods, that require code edits. That's a big headache after each vb upgrade.

Attachments will be megred with no limit control (i suspect that's not a big deal, if you have global limit for user group ).

Then post is "reparsed". I'm not sure, but if IMG limit is checked in parcer, then result will be the same, as if user try to excceed IMG tag limit in first post. The same for smiles count limits. You'd better to check yourself.
