I would like for there to be a way to keep people from posting twice in a row in a topic. If someone has already posted, I would like them to be presented with a message saying something similar to the following:

You are not allowed to create bump posts. Please wait until someone replies to the thread, or edit your last post to include additional information.

If you decide to do this, good luck to you.

I second this. A lot of people like to make extra unecessary posts when it all could have gone on just one.

Yeah i third that one, bloody good idea. I guess it would be as simple as checking the last post in that thread and making sure the usernames don't match.

I'll have a look but i don't think this is something i could do.

I fifth this. I hate it when people double/triple post just to boost their post count up by putting either something meaningless, or sommat that could have been edited into the last post

I did try to get this working but my head hurts an it looks like one of the good coders will have to give it a go.

What i was trying to do was get the author ID of the previous post and if it was the same as the post the user is trying to post then sending them to an error page stating that they 'cannot post bump posts'

I know the word 'post' comes up alot in that sentance but i hope you all understand what i mean lol LOL

in file new_post.asp at line 534 you will find this code

'******************************************
'*** Anti-spam Check ***
'******************************************

and ADD this code after this code (add it at line 537)

'Mod by Venky, http://venki.somee.com - http://venki.somee.com , mailto:hrvojevencl@gmail.com - hrvojevencl@gmail.com
strSQL = "SELECT "
If strDatabaseType = "SQLServer" OR strDatabaseType = "Access" Then
strSQL = strSQL & "TOP 1"
End If
strSQL = strSQL & " " & strDbTable & "Thread.Author_ID " & _
"FROM " & strDbTable & "Thread " & strDBNoLock & " " & _
"WHERE " & strDbTable & "Thread.Topic_ID = " & lngTopicID & " " & _
"ORDER BY " & strDbTable & "Thread.Message_date DESC"
If strDatabaseType = "mySQL" Then
strSQL = strSQL & " LIMIT 1"
End If
strSQL = strSQL & ";"

'Open the recordset
rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon

if not rsCommon.EOF then
if rsCommon("Author_ID") = lngLoggedInUserID then strReturnCode = "bump"
End if

'Clean up
rsCommon.Close

then in file not_posted.asp at line 116 you will find this code

End If

REPLACE it whit this code

ElseIf strErrorCode = "bump" Then
Response.Write("You are not allowed to create bump posts. Please wait until someone replies to the thread, or edit your last post to include additional information.")
End If

Thanks Venki, haven't actually got around to trying it yet, but does it allow for admins to double post in case they need update a post such as a news and updates one or can they just edit the original and it will come up in active topics again.

GREAT SUGGESTION!!

I even like this idea so much that I think -Borg (if you're reading this, then listen to us ;)) should consider implementing it in WWF as an official feature :D

Only if it was in the forum permissions with all the other ones (Post, Edit, Delete, Calendar Event, etc), otherwise it would grow into too much of a pain.

That would request new column (Yes/No) in database.

Hi Venkie:

Have you thought of creating a mod to create a digest of posts like this one a person made for phpBB?

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=112451 - http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=112451

I'm in desperate need of that functionality and I figured you were the person that could get it done.

Let me know your thoughts.

Steve
