    Hi.
    It doesn’t seem to check on duplication of the same posting.
    If a record A at street B postcode C exists, a new record with the same details is accepted for review.
    Am I missing some setting checkbox ?
    Thanks!

    Cheers for that!
    But, your add-on just warns of the potential duplicate. It doesn’t stop the user to submit the duplicate post. Why is that?

    I mean – if you set multiple checks, like title, street, zip – why would you want any user to submit a post which is obviously a duplicate?

    Hello Eugene,

    Currently it checks duplicate for single field not with set of fields combine. It checking duplicate for each field on keyup from field so duplicate checking for combine fields is not possible at the moment. We implements feature on priority base and in past no customers has requested similar feature. We keep your suggestion and will surly implement in future if more customers asks for same feature.
