SC Avatar Galleries, Quick Edit, Double Posts Merger, Shop, Ad Space, Markers Bug Fix

Couple forums additions and fix that I thought might be important and major enough to point out.

* The Soul Calibur avatar galleries present in your Avatar preferences has been thoroughly cleaned up and most avatars now resides in a single gallery (besides animated and small avatars which are grouped to their own galleries). In addition there is now over 200+ new avatars added for a total of 411 avatars. You can access the Soul Calibur avatar galleries by going to your Avatar preferences.

* Quick Edit(zEdit 2.0) has now been added to the forums. To use it, simply double click on any posts that you can edit. This saves a lot of time loading the full edit mode.

* Zetaboard has upgraded their servers and now there is finally a double post merger (ZOMG!!). Hence everyone who posts more than once will have all their proceeding posts automatically merged into their last post, separated each by a line divider.

To avoid abuse, this does not bump the thread nor grant posts/points. You will still have to alert an administrator or moderator via the Shoutbox or through PM to have the thread be bumped. HOWEVER, after a period of 24 hours has passed and you double post, your posts will be merged and the thread additionally will be bumped.

If the combined post exceeds the maximum post length, only then is a consecutive post is allowed.

* The Shop now has several active official items up for sale. The items at the time being are:

Custom Member Title: Allows you to one time change your custom member title regardless of how many posts you've obtained. Usual requirements are 50 posts to change to a custom member title.

Gamble: Gamble for a random amount of points. Points earned can be anywhere from 0-1000 points.

$5 PSN Account: Receive a prepaid, $5 PSN account to purchase anything you desire in the PSN store. Stocks are limited.

$10 PSN Account: Receive a prepaid, $10 PSN account to purchase anything you desire in the PSN store. Stocks are limited.

10 HD Screenshots Pack: Receive 10 fully customizable, non watermarked HD screenshots from SCIV of your choice.

To purchase any of these or view their cost, head to Shop under Manage Points, then click on All items or Official items.


* Advertisement system is up. This system allows you to place your own image ad on the forums by purchasing ad space. All ads are automated to display once purchased. To view or purchase ads/ad space, select Ad Space under Manage Points.

* A major bug on the forums has been fixed where new posts marker and no new posts marker have reversed images. You should now be able to correctly see which forum has new posts by looking at the forum marker.

lol, I'm using one of the Taki avatars in the avatar gallery. But I might look at the new ones added, cause I usually don't save avatars and create one for crap.

The only thing I'm interested in the shop is the Gamble, which I might probably take a shot at since I don't own SCIV and a PS3 so I can't really use my points anyways.

Yeah, I've been dying to implement Quick Edit but no one seems to be creating a ZB version until now.

Now all we need is a double post block script like our old one and we'd have everything necessary. The amount of posters double posting especially newbies is just ridiculous...

Actually I just started merging them, but if you look through older threads you can see plenty of non accidental double posting. People need to realize there is an Edit button there for a reason. <_<

If you have trouble with the double posts ,you might wanna use one of these.

Placement: Above the copyright

Disable Double Posting for all:
Code:
 
<script src='http://divinitycoding.net/scripts/disDoublePost.js'>
/* Disable Double Posting by Eureka of Divinity Coding [http://divinitycoding.net] */
</script>


Now that seems harsh to disable double posting for everyone including admins and mods, so I decided to code up one for only members :)

Disable Double Posting for members only (Members meaning non-staff members)
Code:
 
<script src='http://divinitycoding.net/scripts/disDoublePostMem.js'>
/* Disable Double Posting (Members) by Eureka of Divinity Coding [http://divinitycoding.net] */
</script>


Updated: Disable certain groups from double posting
Quote:
 
<script>
/* Disable Double Posting (Groups) by Eureka of Divinity Coding [http://divinitycoding.net] */
var ddpg = ["Members","Moderators"];

document.write('<script src=http://divinitycoding.net/scripts/disdoublepostgrouppost.js><\/script>')
</script>

Edit the red text to group names or add more. NOTE: THIS IS CASE-SENSITIVE.

Updated: Disable certain members from double posting
Quote:
 
<script>
/* Disable Double Posting (Certain Members) by Eureka of Divinity Coding [http://divinitycoding.net] */
var ddpm = ["test"];

document.write('<script src=http://divinitycoding.net/scripts/p378/disDoublePostSelMmbrs.js'><\/script>')
</script>

Edit the red for member names. You can add more if you want. NOTE: THIS IS CASE-SENSITIVE. This code is a burden to manage because you have to update it everytime he/she changes his/her name. Of course you shouldn't accept their request if you are to prevent them from double posting as punishment.


Enjoy :)

Note : I haven't tried this so not sure if it works

Thanks, I will attempt to test it out.

Are you a ZB coder?

Are you certain that the double post blocker is for ZB? I installed block all script BTW, but it isn't doing anything. :/

Try This :

What does it do: This disables the add reply, quote and removes the fast reply box from the topic view if you were the last one to post.
Preview: None.
Where does it go: Below the Board
Code: HTML
 
<script type="text/javascript">
if(location.href.match('topic/')){
var proTop=$("#top_info a").parent().html().split("profile/")[1].split("/")[0];
var posTop=$("td.c_username:last a.member").attr("href").split("profile/")[1].split("/")[0];
if(proTop===posTop){
$("#fast-reply").remove();
$("div.topic-buttons a").removeAttr("href");
$("span.right a").removeAttr("href");}}
</script>

No edits required!


Because I've seen this being asked around, here is a version that doesn't stop everyone from double posting. This one is done by group:
Code: HTML
 
<script type="text/javascript">
if(location.href.match('topic/')){
function omitGroup(group){
var gName=$("dl.user_info dd").next().next().html();
if(gName===group){
$(function(){$("#fast-reply").remove();
$("div.topic-buttons a").removeAttr("href");
$("span.right a").removeAttr("href");});}}
omitGroup("GROUP_NAME")
}
</script>

Now before you put this script in, there is something you need to understand. The group names you edit in for this are those groups which will NOT be able to double post. All groups that you don't enter will be able to.
So, just find that omitGroup("GROUP_NAME") line and just edit in the group name you don't want to be able to double post. Just add more under it to disallow other groups.

^^ That works, but somehow I wished it would at least alert the poster that s/he can't double post and that the post needs to be edited instead. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of confusion why you aren't able to click the add reply button, especially for newbies.

Use the auto pm code & then when newbies join then they will receive a pm saying that they cannot double post or whatever.

Good idea, but if I do that I might as well direct them to the forums rules thread instead of just solely indicating about double posting.

And I had forgotten there are certain forums which people might need to double post and hence forums I allow double posting, like the Masterlist forum. Wish there was a way to configure it to only work on certain forums. We had a very impressive, security tight double post blocker when the forums were hosted at IF. >_<
