Hello,
I would like to limit the re-submission of a form to every 5 minutes to a registered user. I do not find it in Watchman. How can I achieve this ? In V5 this facility was available, I cannot find it in V7.
Please help

Hi Ronn,

Yes, this feature is not supported at the moment, may be added in a future update, but you can do it in a PHP action and use the "Events" behavior to redirect the user if the condition fails!

Hello Max.

I am trying this in a PHP Action.. Bet it does not seem to work. Where possibly I maybe going wrong ?

if (time() - ( isset($_SESSION['last_submit'])?$_SESSION['last_submit']:0 )< 300) 
 die('<h1><center>Post limit exceeded. Please wait at least 5 minutes</center></h1>'); 

/* ======= update the session ======== */
$_SESSION['last_submit'] = time();

Please help.

Thanks

code needs testing, but it should be like this:

Check if session key exists, no ? set it and return 0, yes ? check the time difference and return "redirect" if it's less than 300

then enable the Events behavior, add a new event and call it "redirect" then redirect the user somewhere or display a message!
