How to prevent domain being added more than once

[darrenlambert]

Hi all

Is it possible to ensure a domain has only a single link in a directory? The *Allow multiple submit* option only seems to check the link title, rather than the domain.

Does anyone have a mod?

Thanks

To ensure that the URL is submitted just once you have to edit the submit.php. Search for the following line:

Content visible to registered users only.

and remove the second colon in

Content visible to registered users only.

so it will look like this:

Content visible to registered users only.

It seems to be a bug in programming. After removing the colon everything will work fine. No more multiple submittung of URL.

Thanks, that is prefect.

I couldn't see any difference in the way the URL was edited. Seems to work the same as it did before.

i think you can used admin panel for this, you dont need to edit the submit.tpl . There's an option to choose from either you can submit the domain multiple time in different category or not.

That's correct, but the posted change limits a URL to a directory only once. I don't want to allow people to post the same URL in multiple categories.

Hi,

I'm also interested in this topic.
The modification above works fine but still the method used to compare the urls in the database is not advanced.

What I mean with that is:

It allows to submit the same domain just by adding/omitting the last slash.

1. dumbdomain.com
2. dumbdomain.com/

Same domain, both are allowed.

:shock:
