Double post protection

François · 2010-02-18 06:41:26

Would it be possible to add a double-post protection, to prevent users to posts 2 consecutives messages in the same topic with less than X seconds between them, and ask them in the error message to edit their previous message instead of creating a new one ?

I think you just have to add something like that in the post.php file
ligne 25

$result = $db->query('SELECT f.id, f.forum_name, f.moderators, f.redirect_url, fp.post_replies, fp.post_topics, t.subject, t.closed, s.user_id AS is_subscribed FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON f.id=t.forum_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'subscriptions AS s ON (t.id=s.topic_id AND s.user_id='.$pun_user['id'].') WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND t.id='.$tid) or error('Unable to fetch forum info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Replace by

$result = $db->query('SELECT f.id, f.forum_name, f.moderators, f.redirect_url, fp.post_replies, fp.post_topics, t.subject, t.closed, s.user_id AS is_subscribed, p.poster_id FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON f.id=t.forum_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'subscriptions AS s ON (t.id=s.topic_id AND s.user_id='.$pun_user['id'].') LEFT JOIN .$db->prefix.'posts AS p ON t.last_post_id = p.id WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND t.id='.$tid) or error('Unable to fetch forum info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Line 65

// Flood protection
if (!isset($_POST['preview']) && $pun_user['last_post'] != '' && (time() - $pun_user['last_post']) < $pun_user['g_post_flood'])
    $errors[] = $lang_post['Flood start'].' '.$pun_user['g_post_flood'].' '.$lang_post['flood end'];

Add after

// Double post protection
if (!isset($_POST['preview']) && $pun_user['last_post'] != '' && $pun_user['id'] == $cur_posting['poster_id'] && (time() - $pun_user['last_post']) < $pun_user['g_post_double_post'])
    $errors[] = $lang_post['double post start'].' '.$pun_user['g_post_double_post'].' '.$lang_post['double post end'];

And some code in the group permission to choose how long the users had to wait between to consecutive post in the admin panel.

There might be another option to add the text automatically to the previous post (if the length of the addition is correct) instead of creating a new one or doing an error.

The user must be alerted that he doesn't post a new message because the "new" message isn't consider as a new post for the other users (it is not mark as "not read") , so an "error" must be display

Or we can modifiy the posted date ?

I would say this should be a mod. It will definitely not be implemented in 1.4.0 (officially we're in "feature freeze")

Ok, thanks for the answer
