MOD Validated/Released

Notes:
This MOD stops the posting of the same message twice by checking to see if another post has been made with the exact same text.

In a way, this MOD can stop spammers because they won't be able to copy and paste the same message over and over while spamming. They will have to change each message a little bit.

Function work, but:
- why checks title also?
- why signature also?
- why has not no message?
look

Lang Polish:

Code: Select all

$lang['Double_Post_Error'] = 'Nie możesz wysłać takiej samej wiadomo¶ci po raz drugi.';

PS. Sorry for my english.

Hi, thanks for validating my MOD.

It's actually not to prevent people from copying their text and reposting it, but rather to prevent people from pressing the "Submit" button twice - which I've seen very often when people run into page loading problems -which causes their message to appear twice.

@»»EDDY««: It does not check the title nor the signature. They are not part of the post_text column.
As for no message showing, did you put your message into language/lang_english/lang_main.php? If you did, you should have put it into language/lang_polish/lang_main.php.

Yes.

I have this mod installed on 2.0.10, and it seemd to work just fine, until ..., until I got a double post.

I verified that I installed this mod correctly.

Double post occured when poster replied to a topic, and subject of the reply was blank. Reply showed up twice.

Just got another double post on my board with this mod installed.

I just don't know enough about it to figure out how it is happening.

Only similarity is that both double posts were replies to an existing topic, both were not on the first page of the thread, and both had an empty subject line.

Sorry, been away from community for a while.

In the code, try removing this from the double post control:

Code: Select all

AND p.post_time = $lastposttime

See how it goes.

Kinetix-
Thanks, but... what about bbcode_uid

. This mod control only plain text posts.

Here is my version:

Code: Select all

// Double Post Control
if ($mode != 'editpost') {
	$lastposttime = intval($row['last_post_time']);
	$where_sql = ($userdata['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS) ? "p.poster_ip = '$user_ip'" : 'p.poster_id = ' . $userdata['user_id'];
	$sql = "SELECT pt.post_text, pt.bbcode_uid
		FROM " . POSTS_TABLE . " p, " . POSTS_TEXT_TABLE . " pt
		WHERE $where_sql AND p.post_time = $lastposttime AND pt.post_id = p.post_id
		LIMIT 1";
	if ($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) {
		if ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
			if ( str_replace($row['bbcode_uid'], $bbcode_uid, $row['post_text']) == $post_message) {
				message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['Double_Post_Error']);
			}
		}$db->sql_freeresult($result);
	}
}

Is there any difference with this one??

Ah, I completely forgot about this MOD.

Makc666: This MOD is for preventing users from posting the same message twice in a row (hitting Submit twice, causes double-posting).
That MOD is for changing the flood control limit (which I thought was a feature of phpBB already?).

As for the bbcode_uid thing, thanks for posting that problem. It's now fixed and will be available as soon as it gets revalidated.
For now, you can get the file here.
