Doubled messages.

Sometimes I get double messages in UddeIM. This happens with messages from users and also with system messages from CB's notification system.

Most of the time I get 2 messages with the same content, but it also happened, that I got three of them.

Is there any way to get around this? Some kind of anti-flooding for example?

It is not a problem with uddeIM.

Some people do double clicks on SEND buttons. So the content is sent and before the browser can redirect to a different page the second click resends the same content again.

An extra check if a message has already been sent will create additional database workload which is not wanted on large sites.

Okay, I understand.

Is it possible to disable the send button after someone clicked on it?

Well, it should be possible with some lines of Javascript but have never tried if this fixes this problem.

Maybe you can try yourself. When the button has been clicked (onclick) disable the button. When you have a solution for that I will add it to the trunk.

Yes I found it, it works - at least visually. Have to test it now, to see if I really don't get double messages anymore.

I found this in the includes.php:

[code:1]echo "<input type='submit' name='reply' class='button' value='"._UDDEIM_SUBMIT."' /> ";[/code:1]

and changed it to this:
[code:1]
echo "<input type='submit' name='reply' class='button' onclick=\"this.disabled=true;this.value='Processing'\" value='"._UDDEIM_SUBMIT."' /> ";[/code:1]

Now I hopefully got rid of these doubleclickers, thank you

Please give a feedback when it has been tested a few days.

Thanks very much.
