@steem-plus edits old post instead of making a new one
Project information
- Repository: https://github.com/stoodkev/SteemPlus
- Project Name: @steem-plus
Expected behavior
When posting while being logged in @steem-plus one would expect a new post at all times
Actual behavior under special conditions
If one uses the same first tag and title as used in an earlier post the old post will be edited instead of a new post is created as long as one is logged in @steem-plus.
The links I'm talking about
New post: https://steemit.com/treetuesday/@pundito/6ttpmy-treetuesday-by-old-guy-photos
Old post: https://steemit.com/treetuesday/@pundito/treetuesday-by-old-guy-photos
Both have the same content now.
How to reproduce
- make sure you are logged in @steem-plus
- write a new post
- use the same first tag and title that was useed in an earlier post
- hit the post button
- check if there is a new post in a new browser window and check the old post
- I did this using the latest version of @steem-plus available on 30.10.2018 (10/30/2018) four days ago in combination with Google Chrome
Reason and solution
The reason for this behavior is that the permalink to the post is created with the first tag and the title.
If you write a new post under the same condition without being logged in @steem-plus steemit will check if the link already exists and add some characters to the permalink of the new post.
This actually would also be the solution for the @steem-plus plugin.
- check if the post already exists
- if so, modify the permalink, if not just leave it this way
- post
System information
- HP ProBook with Windows 10 with latest updates installed
- The latest version of Google Chrome
- The latest version of @steem-plus available installed on that date
Haven’t used steem-plus, sounds like I should take a look! ;-)
I love @steem-plus!

Looks like a pretty great and useful plugin indeed!
Unfortunately I mostly work on my iPad, or on corporate pc, so no plugins allowed... :-)

Hi @pundito, is this post intended as a bug report to the utopian bug hunting category?
Actually, it is. I tried to post it via the steem-plus plugin but couldn't.
@stoodkev advised me to write a bug report but I didn't find the format. So I wrote this post with the tags included.
Is there a problem @fego?
I'm curious because I want to learn and do better next time ;)
For it to be scored it ought to look like this link
Thanks, @fego
That makes sense and I bookmarked it for the next time.
You can edit it still and it will be reviewed. If you do that now, I would score it.
Done, @fego
It's my first contribution and I hope it fits the expectations more now.
Please let me know and thanks for helping me!!!
