Doublepost Prevention

[Paul M]

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is an updated version of the popular modification, previously released by Xenon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96602). It is released with his kind permission.

Basically, if member posts in a thread where they were the previous last poster, then if the conditions are met, their new post will be auto-merged into the previous post instead of creating a new "double" post.

A number of options are provided ;

Time Limit - if more than xxx minutes have passed since the last post, no merge is done.

Timestamp Spacer - if enabled, a timestamped spacer is added between the old post text and the new post text.

Post Timestamp Update - if enabled the newly merged post will have its post time updated to the new time, otherwise it retains the time of the original post.

Spacer Colour - allows you to set the colour of the spacer between merged posts.

Usergroup exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain usergroups from the doublepost merges.

Forum exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain forums form the doublepost merges.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Doublepost Prevention.


To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.


History:

v3.8.001 : First Release for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 : Phrased the post separater.
v3.8.003 : Added JS Template - removing need to edit quick reply javascript file.
v3.8.004 : Updated spacer options.
v3.8.005 : Updated timestamp spacer to fix issue with large merge times.

[dannykilla]

awesome thanks

[Sc00by22]

Thanks, when you use quick reply, it doesn't work with ajax, it places another post underneath but all off center until you refresh.

[pipin]

Great.

For all who have the compressed javascript files:

Just copy the content of vbulletin_quick_reply.js into http://elfz.laacz.lv/beautify/

Beautify it, change the file and upload it.

EDIT:

This does not work, cause content of the uncompressed javascript file is differen!!!

[Forum Lover]

Tagged. Is it possible not to effect on thread openers. I mean, If I am the tread opener, then it wont effect me. I really need that badly. :( Or is it there already?

[Paul M]

Thanks, when you use quick reply, it doesn't work with ajax.
Yes it does.

You MUST do the javascript edit tho.

Sorry, there is no such feature.

[jshg46]

be nice to see something like this for attachments, but have it if any member post an attachment with the same name it will not let them post it.

[Subah]

Thanks a lot Paul but what about attached the file that you say it is need to edit ?
i can not edit !! or i mean i do not know how to !!

[Rat1972]

I searched in the javascript, but no such code to replace with.

[nexialys]

thanks Paul... looks like the harrasments to release this version finally gave a result.. LOL!

[Paul M]

Posts with attachments are not merged by design, I have no plans to alter that.

Thanks a lot Paul but what about attached the file that you say it is need to edit ?

Sorry, but free support does not extend to to teaching you how to edit files.

I searched in the javascript, but no such code to replace with.
You are doing something wrong then, the code is there.

thanks Paul... looks like the harrasments to release this version finally gave a result.. LOL!
Yes, thought about it a while ago, and decided on it the other day.

[RedHacker]

Find the following code ; in the txt.file not found....

[Rat1972]

You are doing something wrong then, the code is there.


I have searched the whole file, there is no such a code what like in the readme file. I am sure about that, :)

[Paul M]

The code is there (in vbulletin_quick_reply.js)

I just looked for it again ;

function qr_do_ajax_post(ajax)
{
if (ajax.responseXML)
{
document.body.style.cursor = 'auto';
fetch_object('qr_posting_msg').style.display = 'none';
var i;

if (fetch_tag_count(ajax.responseXML, 'postbit'))
{
ajax_last_post = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('time')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
qr_disable_controls();
qr_hide_errors();

var postbits = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('postbit');
for (i = 0; i < postbits.length; i++)
{
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = postbits[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
var lp = fetch_object('lastpost');
var lpparent = lp.parentNode;
var postbit = lpparent.insertBefore(newdiv, lp);

PostBit_Init(postbit, postbits[i].getAttribute('postid'));
}

// unfocus the qr_submit button to prevent a space from resubmitting
if (fetch_object('qr_submit'))
{
fetch_object('qr_submit').blur();
}
}
else
{
if (!is_saf)
{
// this is the nice error handler, of which Safari makes a mess
var errors = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('error');
if (errors.length)
{
var error_html = '<ol>';
for (i = 0; i < errors.length; i++)
{
error_html += '<li>' + errors[i].firstChild.nodeValue + '</li>';
}
error_html += '</ol>';

qr_show_errors('<ol>' + error_html + '</ol>');

return false;
}
}

qr_resubmit();
}
}
else
{
qr_resubmit();
}
}

[Magnumutz]

Awesome Paul, good job mate !

Later edit: What the hell, i can't find any of those phrases in the js file...

A bit Later edit: I'm using 3.8.1

The whole block is missing in my script... Strange.

[Paul M]

Are you sure you have the correct file (vbulletin_quick_reply.js, 3.8 version, uncompressed).

There is no way that can be missing ;)

[Magnumutz]

Dude, i just downloaded 3.8.1 from the vBulletin Member's Area, and the code is not there.
vBulletin gets downloaded with uncompressed js's by default, right?

[Rat1972]

Are you sure you have the correct file (vbulletin_quick_reply.js, 3.8 version, uncompressed).

I am absolute sure and it was missing. But i added (the block) it the vbulletin_quick_reply and it work like charm. Strange it was missing, but now its working! Thanks Paul!


*click* install

[Rat1972]

Dude, i just downloaded 3.8.1 from the vBulletin Member's Area, and the code is not there.
vBulletin gets downloaded with uncompressed js's by default, right?
Same here :D
But i added it, and it worked :)

[Magnumutz]

Looks like i was wrong... vBulletin comes with compressed javascripts.
You got to manually select the "Package - Uncompressed JavaScript".

Sorry for the trouble Paul... geez i feel dumb...

[Rat1972]

I think i found the problem. The 3.8.0 quick reply has the code. I donwloaded that one, and it wasnt hard to find that code.

But when i download 3.8.1 and do the same thing, the code isn't there, i think there has been a code change in that script.

[RedHacker]

I have 3.8.1 and no saw this code but open vbulletin_quick_reply.js with Word and I saw this code and change..!!!But if i do quick reply saw two posts in thread but if doing refresh doing one..!!!Why...?Can doing one with auto refresh...?

[Paul M]

Just to be quite clear - the javascript file has not changed in ANY version of 3.8.x

Please READ the big red note, its there for a reason. :)

... you must have the uncompressed versions - obtaining these is an option when you download vbulletin, by default you get the compressed versions.

[Kihon Kata]

HI Paul,

This is a great mod and works well on my current board. The old one is working on my 3.8, np. With that said, I'd like to ask a hypothetical question:

If I install yours (and remove my old one), AND and in the future upgrade my forum, will the javascript file that needs the EDIT, be overwritten?

[redlabour]

Awesome! :)

[Paul M]

If I install yours (and remove my old one), AND and in the future upgrade my forum, will the javascript file that needs the EDIT, be overwritten?
Yes. On any upgrade you would need to re-edit the JS file.

[redlabour]

Great.

For all who have the compressed javascript files:

Just copy the content of vbulletin_quick_reply.js into http://elfz.laacz.lv/beautify/

Beautify it, change the file and upload it.

Does not work - the Code is still missing - searched more then one Time with Notepad++.

Yes. On any upgrade you would need to re-edit the JS file.

I still cant find the part of Script - i have tested it in compressed and uncompressed File. :cool:

vBulletin 3.8.1

And anyway why is the Fileedit needed? Xenon?s did not need any Fileedit. This seems to be too much work after every vBulletin Update for this Mod. Never seen a Mod which is using the uncompressed Files before.

Will use Xenon?s till there is a Update without any Fileedit needed. :(

[Paul M]

TBH, I give up. It works fine (as seen on this site, and my forum).

Im already sick of repeating that the code is there. FYI, the file edit is to make ajax merge work properly, I really dont care if you havent seen one that edits JS files before. This does, simple as that. This is the only update you will see so you will have a long wait for any other.

[rizelim]

Thanks Paul ! Thanks Xenon !

[djbaxter]

Thanks, Paul. The only issue I see with the current version of this add-on is that the edits to vbulletin_quick_reply.js are going to need to be redone with each upgrade. I don't suppose there's any way around that, is there?

Never mind - clarified above. So if one decides not to bother with that edit, it will still work correctly but not update via Ajax (i.e., you'll have to refresh the page to see the automerge)... is that correct?

[Martin9887]

Works fine, very nice mod.

However, is it normal for it to create a new post when using quick reply?

Edit:

I think it's okay, it makes a second post when using quick reply but when I reload the thread it's only the one post.

[IIAnDoII]

works perfect thanks Paul

[Paul M]

So if one decides not to bother with that edit, it will still work correctly but not update via Ajax (i.e., you'll have to refresh the page to see the automerge)... is that correct?
I believe so (See below).


Works fine, very nice mod.

However, is it normal for it to create a new post when using quick reply?

Edit:

That means you havent done the JS edit (correctly).

[redlabour]

I believe so (See below).

OK - then it means it works the Way Xenon?s does before. His one has the same small Problem all the Time.

[pipin]

Does not work - the Code is still missing - searched more then one Time with Notepad++.



I still cant find the part of Script - i have tested it in compressed and uncompressed File. :cool:

vBulletin 3.8.1



Its there in the uncompressed file.

But could someone enlighten me, why the code is different in the compressed one?

[Martin9887]

Got it fully working now, excellent mod and much appreciated. I like many of your mods, Paul M.

[Valter]

it makes a second post when using quick reply but when I reload the thread it's only the one post.
Great. I can upgrade now.

First I was happy to see new version is available, then disappointed by installation step where you need to edit vB file.

Thanks to both, Paul and Xenon.

[Valter]

Hmmm... You should move this:
---------- Post added at
----------
---------- Previous post was
to Phrase.

Something like:
Post added at {1}, previous post was {2}.

[Kihon Kata]

Yes. On any upgrade you would need to re-edit the JS file.
Thanks for the reply Paul. I guess I won't update this. I know I'll forget to update the JS when I upgrade. Heck, I can't remember much these days. I know that I'll upgrade and it won't work, then I'll spend hours trying to figure out why. LOL

[mad@Max]

Nice work! But what about time zones? All see one time zone?

[King Kovifor]

Nice work! But what about time zones? All see one time zone?

Well, since the time is manually edited into the post, everybody will see 1 time zone because the text remains constant between time zones.

[mad@Max]

King Kovifor, but its not good:)

[Vitaly]

Heh... seems we've done similar products simultaneousely :) . My one doesn't need JS edits, works with AJAX and merge attachments too. Will release it in a week. It was done for 3.7 and was not tested for 3.8 yet.

[Paul M]

Good for you. I hope people are grateful.

I think some members forget that things here are released free and wont always do exactly what they want.

[Raug]

Dude, i just downloaded 3.8.1 from the vBulletin Member's Area, and the code is not there.
vBulletin gets downloaded with uncompressed js's by default, right?

No. You get compressed by default. You have to redownload it as uncompressed and then make the edit.

And it seems that clearing your cache and then testing it again will make it so 2 posts don't show up with quick reply.

[Rat1972]

The code is there. I had strange problems with finding that, i downloaded the uncompressed one's but after three times downloading, then it was fine. So the problem was offcourse here. Sorry Paul and i really understand you getting sick of it.

But for people that can't find the code do this:

- Go to vbullletin.com.
- Go to members area
- Go to download vbulletin
- Choose more download options.
- Go to the dropdown: DOWNLOAD FILE
- Choose package - uncompressed javascripts and download it
- Unrar/unzip the downloaded file
- Go to clientscript and open the vbulletin_quick_reply with word/notepad and find the code. Edit it and upload it to your server.

Thats all. And if there still people with problems, its no problem for me to send you the edited file to you, so only you have to upload it to your server. Just send me a pm.

@PaulM
Thank you for this great mod! Keep up the good work! ;)

[redlabour]

Feature Request of Missing Functions that are allready there in Xenons:

Post Separator

Edited By Message

Post added at -> phrased

Previous post was at -> phrased

Clicked uninstalled so far.

[mad@Max]

redlabour, i agree with you, so, too, click uninstall.

[redlabour]

@Paul M - don?t misunderstand me. The Fileedit is one thing - but the other Things are must haves.

This is an updated version of the popular modification

At this Time it is an downgraded version of the popular modification. And Xenons still does work with 3.8.x so there is no need to crossgrade to yours with less Features, less Phrases and one additionally Fileedit of the uncompressed vBulletin Files. :(

Heh... seems we've done similar products simultaneousely :) . My one doesn't need JS edits, works with AJAX and merge attachments too. Will release it in a week. It was done for 3.7 and was not tested for 3.8 yet.

Hopefully it will be released soon and includes alle Features of Xenons.


I think some members forget that things here are released free and wont always do exactly what they want.

No - that is not the Point. We only want Quality - not Quantity. Freesoftware does not mean that there has to be no Qualitycheck before releasing.

[Paul M]

Clicked uninstalled so far.
redlabour, i agree with you, so, too, click uninstall.

Do you really think posting things like "click uninstall" will encourage people to listen to you ?

Sometimes wonder why I (or anyone else) bothers to dedicate our FREE time to releasing things at all. This does exactly what I need it to do for my forums, like everything else I release, its written for me, and then kindly released for anyone else who may want to use it. If it doesnt suit your needs then fine, just dont bother with it, do not come in here moaning & complaining.

[redlabour]

Do you really think posting things like "click uninstall" will encourage people to listen to you ?

If you are not interested in "Installationclicks" why do you wrote this?

Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.

;)

If it doesnt suit your needs then fine, just dont bother with it, do not come in here moaning & complaining.

1. Can you tell me why you did modifying it for your forum if Xenons-Mod still works and have more Features like yours?

2. Can you tell me why you call it a "Update"?

3. Can you tell me why you call it "Supported"?

Do what you want - but don?t call it Update of a perfect working MOD if it isn?t a Update. And please don?t call it supported or anything like that if you cant get around with critic to your work.

[Blackhat]

excellent plugin :)

[Paul M]

If you are not interested in "Installationclicks" why do you wrote this?
The question has no relevance to what I posted.

1. Can you tell me why you did modifying it for your forum if Xenons-Mod still works and have more Features like yours?

2. Can you tell me why you call it a "Update"?

3. Can you tell me why you call it "Supported"?

Do what you want - but don?t call it Update of a perfect working MOD if it isn?t a Update. And please don?t call it supported or anything like that if you cant get around with critic to your work.
1. Ajax merging does not work.
2. Um, because it is.
3. See answer to 2.

Its an update, simple as that, just becasue it doesnt do what you want doesnt mean its not an update. Its also supported (as is) - again, just because I wont do what you want doesnt make it unsupported.

Dont bother replying in the thread, this is not a discussion thread. Clearly this mod is not for you so leave this thread for those who are using it.

[gen4ik]

nice mod ... but 2 issues: with compressed JS and translating unphrased text "Post added at" and "Previous post was" .... :)

[Daniel_HBK]

thx :)

[IIAnDoII]

this is a much better version that Xenons, The Post Separator in Xenons looks cheap you did a great job Paul keep it up mate

[Voltar]

Awesome to see this updated! Tagged, will install later.

[Hannan]

That's great, I've waiting for this
thanks

[Paul M]

nice mod ... but 2 issues: with compressed JS and translating unphrased text "Post added at" and "Previous post was" .... :)Compressed JS is not an issue, you simply download the uncompressed version. I agree about the phrasing tho, Im testing an update atm (phrased), for release later in the week.

[Leo Brazil]

Awesome !!

Thanks Paul, you're da man.

[RaceJunkie]

Good for you. I hope people are grateful.


Very grateful and thank you for all you have done.

Tagged for install asap..

[SloppyGoat]

Sweet! I love it! Is there any way to recompress the js file? Or does it matter?

[Paul M]

It doesnt matter.

Personally I dont see the great advantage in compressed JS files anyway.

[Alien]

Thanks Paul. Appreciate the update, and look forward to the phrases functionality!

[Paul M]

..... and look forward to the phrases functionality!
Which is in 3.8.002, now available.

[SloppyGoat]

What exactly does that mean? I'm not really sure what phrase functionality is. It's something I've never messed with, for fear of screwing up my forum. :p I don't suppose I've ever ran into a reason to find out what it is.

[Stubbed]

I followed the instructions in the text file regarding editing vbulletin_quick_reply.js, uploaded the product, and it all appears to work, except when I do a quick reply, the post is doubled up, and it breaks the theme. I use a custom theme, but it's not heavily modified.

I do have the compressed versions of the javascript, so I downloaded the uncompressed version, made the changes to vbulletin_quick_reply.js, and uploaded that file. Do I need to upload all of the uncompressed files?

I cleared my cache and loaded up the vbulletin_quick_reply.js directly, and it definitely was the updated one.

What exactly does that mean? I'm not really sure what phrase functionality is. It's something I've never messed with, for fear of screwing up my forum. :p I don't suppose I've ever ran into a reason to find out what it is.
It just means you can easily change the wording of the divider, or if you have multiple languages a different translation for each one...

[SloppyGoat]

Hey, I just tested the time limit. It doesn't seem to be working. It's set to 120 secs, and I waited until a few mins past that, and it still merged.

[Valter]

Hey, I just tested the time limit. It doesn't seem to be working. It's set to 120 secs, and I waited until a few mins past that, and it still merged.
It's set in minutes, not seconds.
I'm not really sure what phrase functionality is.
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/


Paul,

Thanks for the update.

One question: I'm unsure why the first post timestamp is needed in separator? We can see it in the post info. IMO it's more important to have date info for the second post.

I want to change separator phrase to:
Edit ({1}):
where {1} will be date/time of the second post. (Something like: Edit (Feb 04, 18:15):)

If I do it with the current code it will make separator info little confusing when posts are merged on different day.

Example:
1st post: Feb 03, 18:20
2nd post: 18:15

It should be:
1st post: Feb 03, 18:20
2nd post: Feb 04, 18:15

[SloppyGoat]

I see. It's just a variable for a phrase. Why is it still merging after the time limit, though?

[SloppyGoat]

Does it do it here? No, it didn't. Why is the time limit not timing out on my forum?

[King Kovifor]

Does it do it here? No, it didn't. Why is the time limit not timing out on my forum?

Minutes. Have you noticed that? If you set it to 1, does it work?

[SloppyGoat]

Oh! It's minutes! DOH!!! Sorry, I must not have caught that.

Yes, it's working. It was operator error. I'm so used to everything being listed in seconds. :p

[RaceJunkie]

If I understand this right.
1. When a member creates a post with attachments the posts do not get merged. Correct?
2. What if a member uses the image tag to ad photos to there posts and you have a 5 image limit and they create a new post under it to get all there pics posted. What happens then?

[jscieza]

I followed the instructions in the text file regarding editing vbulletin_quick_reply.js, uploaded the product, and it all appears to work, except when I do a quick reply, the post is doubled up, and it breaks the theme. I use a custom theme, but it's not heavily modified.

Same problem here, Paul.

However it's not a real issue at all. Thank you very much for your time and your amability of share this mod with us :)

[RedHacker]

If put update 3.8.002 must edit "vbulletin_quick_reply.js ...?

I edit this file before update...

[jscieza]

If put update 3.8.002 must edit "vbulletin_quick_reply.js ...?

I edit this file before update...

No since product update doesn't overwrite your vbulletin_quick_reply.js file or any other vBulletin file. When you upgrade your vBulletin to a new version then yes, you should need to re-edit the javascript file as requested in the readme file.

Hope that helps.

[Magnumutz]

Paul, i think you should edit your post and tell the users to go and download vBulletin, and get the uncompressed JavaScript version.
Cuz most don't even know there's such an option.
Make it easier for them :D

[Paul M]

It already says that in the big red note ;)

[yingzhou]

when edited the uncompressed JS, how can I compress it again?

[Paul M]

Same problem here, Paul.

However it's not a real issue at all. Thank you very much for your time and your amability of share this mod with us :)

Both of you have either made a mistake, or your browser is not loading the new version.
(clear your browser cache). The merge does not care what style you have.

[RedHacker]

Post reply has problem and when refresh 2 posts doing in 1....

[Paul M]

See the post above yours.

[Stubbed]

Both of you have either made a mistake, or your browser is not loading the new version.
(clear your browser cache). The merge does not care what style you have.
I was pretty careful about this, I even tried on another computer at work that had never been to that the forum, same issue.

Will reload everything per-instructions and try again.

*edit*

Downloaded again, completely cleared cache and went around proxy server, has worked fine. Will blame the proxy server.

[IIAnDoII]

just got an email saying you updated it and im just wondering what you mean by "Phrased the post separater."

what does that mean ?

Thanks

[Paul M]

It means what is says - the post separator is now a phrase instead of hard coded.

[proudgreenyin]

downloaded the uncompressed .js, edited it and uploaded it and everything seems to be working great so far :) thanks very much for another great mod m8

[KURTZ]

well done Paul! i'm waiting this from long time! :p

[Paul M]

When I get some free time Im going to see if I can get around the file edit.

[proudgreenyin]

When I get some free time Im going to see if I can get around the file edit.

i'm a total noob m8 and it only took me two minutes max to install this mod, can't see what all the fuss is about.

[Paul M]

Some people just like to moan ;)

A few years ago, I think 90% or more of mods were file edits :)

[JVSP]

-Marked Installed-

This is a perfect mod and works as described......LOVE IT!!!

Thanks

[eh69]

Find the following code ;


var postbits = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('postbit');
for (i = 0; i < postbits.length; i++)
{
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = postbits[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
var lp = fetch_object('lastpost');
var lpparent = lp.parentNode;
var postbit = lpparent.insertBefore(newdiv, lp);

PostBit_Init(postbit, postbits[i].getAttribute('postid'));
}


Replace it with this code ;


// Paul M - Doublepost modification //
if (fetch_tag_count(ajax.responseXML, 'updatepost'))
{
var postbit = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('postbit')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var hidepost = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('updatepost' )[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
fetch_object('edit' + hidepost).innerHTML = postbit;
}
else
{
var postbits = ajax.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('postbit');
for (i = 0; i < postbits.length; i++)
{
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = postbits[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
var lp = fetch_object('lastpost');
var lpparent = lp.parentNode;
var postbit = lpparent.insertBefore(newdiv, lp);
PostBit_Init(postbit, postbits[i].getAttribute('postid'));
}
}

[ForumsMods]

Read the red note:
Note: This modification requires you to edit one of the vbulletin javascript files - which means you must have the uncompressed versions - obtaining these is an option when you download vbulletin, by default you get the compressed versions.

[Paul M]

Dont worry about it, I have bypassed the need to edit the JS file in version 3.8.003

[SloppyGoat]

Sweet! I happen to think every compressed file helps the speed a bit. http://tga.sytes.net/images/smilies/custom/ylsuper.gif

[Valter]

Good work.

[eh69]

New version dont working for me. After add second post i have info:
Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to your post. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

Edit: working, sry for probs.

[Black Tiger]

Great work Paul. The Xenon version was still running fine at my 3.8.1. forums, but I'll upgrade now.:)

Little question. Do I understand it correctly that the Changelog between your's and Xenon's version is all about the javascript thing and the change of the text line from hardcoded to phrase? Or are there other interesting changes?

[wipedout]

Great work, i love it <3

[-=Leb=-]

Paul <3 excellent work on this mod.I had strong feeling about this mod is going to be updated by you for some reason :)

[Paul M]

Excluding usergroups and/or forums is easier in this version (IMO).

This also updates the post via Ajax correctly (no redirect or double post needing a refresh).

Other than that, cant think of any obvious changes.

[Black Tiger]

Cool, Thanks!

[ragtek]

Some people just like to moan ;)

A few years ago, I think 90% or more of mods were file edits :)

that's true, but don't forget that many people get vB because of the "great" pluginsystem, so i can understand them, when they don't like to edit the original files ;)

[Phalynx]

Please remove for the next version the COLOR BBCode if there is no color defined. It it doing just a horrible [COLOR=""] Tag...

Colors are on my board disabled because of several styles.

[Paul M]

Yep, seems reasonable.

[yankidank]

All of the replys that are being merged, are being merged twice for me. For example if i paste the same content from the original post, it will show:

Whats going on here?

Whats going on here?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Whats going on here?

I have some odd problem with my forum that has been causing some users posts to be posted twice and was hoping this plugin would help fix that, but I think its only going to make it worse right now.

[trickfly]

This one is better than the double post prevention plus mod, so thanks!

[MDK-Indy]

What is the difference to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=204177 ?

[Paul M]

This does a proper ajax merge (not a redirect).

ATM you can only exclude forums in this version.

This will not merge posts with attachments, which the other will (but it ignores any max attachment rules).

Not sure about any other differences.

[Paul M]

Please remove for the next version the COLOR BBCode if there is no color defined. It it doing just a horrible [COLOR=""] Tag...

Hi Paul,

The Quick Reply doesn't work in 3.8.1. Whenever I reply via the Quick Reply box, it shows a blank.

[Paul M]

My test forum is 3.8.1 and it works fine for me.

[jGas]

it works also on 3.7 if you change the dependency :)

[Vinyljunky]

Another great mod from Paul M :up:

Thank you for sharing your code :)

[FinanceGuy]

Installed in seconds. Tested in no time. Worked perfectly with absolutely no problems.

Beautiful work mate. You got my vote. :up:

[Fynnon]

it seems that the second post is merged into the first post but it is also displayed as second post

[forte]

This causes a conflict with the Facebook Connect (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=203064) hack. Using the quick reply would redirect me to the newreply page with the error that i lack characters and the text box is blank. I also get a javascript error that fb_qr_prepare_submit_pdp is now defined (Facebook Connect uses fb_qr_prepare_submit).

[zlos]

works ad dream - installed :)

[Black Tiger]

I have it installed but I would like to change something.
It now has the size tag in there. I disabled the use of sizes, but it's displayed now with doubleposts like this:
[ SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:58 ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 ----------[/SIZE ]
How can I get rid of the displaying the size tags?

P.s. the install code of 3.8.004 still says it's 003.:)
// Start v3.8.003 //
$pidlist = array(
'xenon_prevdoublepost',
);

[zlos]

Go to AdminCP, search in phrases, find & edit :)

[Paul M]

P.s. the install code of 3.8.004 still says it's 003.:)

[Black Tiger]

@Zlos: Thanks!

@PaulM: Ehmz... ah... I see now. Ok.:)

[djbaxter]

The newest timestamp spacer says "Post added by" but the username is missing.

[Paul M]

That must be a change you have made, the supplied spacer phrase does not reference any usernames.

Nominated, installed, rated.....awesome

[djbaxter]

D'oh! You're right, Paul. The default phrase is "Post added at", NOT "Post added by". I misread it this morning. Blame it on not enough coffee. :o

I have it installed with the facebook connect mod and I don't experience that problem at all.

Thanks Paul! I installed it on my production server and it works like a charm!!! thanks for taking it on.

[Speedy1505]

can you added the features from this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=204177

the Editor -- and the Group-Manager ......

[Paul M]

1. This has usergroup exclusions already (always has).

2. No idea what you mean by "editor".

[Spinball]

Rather than have a number of forums which are exceptions, is it possible to specify which forums I want this mod to work on? I ask because I would want it to work on a small number of forums.

[Paul M]

No, that is not currently possible.

[furst]

There should be a mechanism to allow us to set a limit on how many consecutive times a person's posts should be merged. Some of the threads on my site are just users posting pictures. This mod creates a problem in that you'll have one post with way too many images, making the page nearly impossible to load.

If it were possible to say, limit it to 5 consecutive merges, it would reduce this problem. The person would post five times and each of the posts would merge into one, and then the 6th post would start another string of 5.

[moethelawn]

All of the replys that are being merged, are being merged twice for me. For example if i paste the same content from the original post, it will show:

Whats going on here?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Whats going on here?

I have some odd problem with my forum that has been causing some users posts to be posted twice and was hoping this plugin would help fix that, but I think its only going to make it worse right now.

I can confirm that this is happening to my site. Also when quick replying, it doesn't ajax and instead says "Thanks for posting! If you posted on a poll..." etc and then reloads the whole page

You can see me test it out here: http://forums.gamerenegades.com/showthread.php?p=111848

[Paul M]

I can only guess you have some other mod installed that is clashing.

[Speedy1505]

tihs i mean :)
with Editor to Edit the Message ...

[Paul M]

The seperator is a phrase, you can edit it in the phrase manager just like any other vb phrase.

The "Edited By" message is pointless IMO, and I wont be adding that.

[wolfiejp]

[Hornstar]

It is working perfect when I double post, but when other people double post it is not merging their posts. I have it set as default. both settings 0 and 0

[MTGDarkness]

Is there any chance of this working for 3.7?
The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.5 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.8.0 / Incompatible with 3.8.99 and greater)

[MTGDarkness]

Well, it works, but it ++++s up the edit box something awful... And when I de-install it, it won't reset. Plus, I need to save the CSS again before it displays right.
And it does the same to the quick reply.
And even after I remove the extra template added.

The editor works correctly when I turn off plugins/products alltogether, but if I just turn off this product, nothing changes. I would assume it's another plugin, but this only started happening after I installed yours. How would I check if another one is clashing with this one?

[Leo Brazil]

Today I've noticed something strange with. If try to post the same thing (same post) it didn't check as usual for a duplicate post and it's added to the original message. Can someone confirm this ?

[Paul M]

Nope, trying that I get the following (as expected) ;

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes.

[Paul M]

The editor works correctly when I turn off plugins/products alltogether, but if I just turn off this product, nothing changes. I would assume it's another plugin, but this only started happening after I installed yours. How would I check if another one is clashing with this one?Turn them on one by one until it breaks ?

[MTGDarkness]

Yeah, but how do I uninstall the thing it did? Because when I disable it, it doesn't come undone.

Also, is there any good way to narrow the search? Because I have a few dozen products installed, including arcade, url rewrite, Itrader... It would take a long time to disable and check all of them, and members would notice.

[Hornstar]

It is working perfect when I double post, but when other people double post it is not merging their posts. I have it set as default. both settings 0 and 0 I am going to uninstall this since it is not working and I have noticed my server load has increased.

[Keyser S?ze]

by how much has it increased?

[Paul M]

Yeah, but how do I uninstall the thing it did? Because when I disable it, it doesn't come undone.
Disabling and uninstalling this are the same thing as its purely plugin based. The most likely reason it breaks is either you have a custom style (with custom editor_clientscript) or some other plugin is editing the editor clientscript. Impossible to say. This appends code to the editor_clientscript template (code).

I am going to uninstall this since it is not working and I have noticed my server load has increased.
It works fine, and has no effect on server load, so I would suggest you look at your server more closely.

[MTGDarkness]

Now, see, that just can't be right... It was the vBulletin Link Canonicals! ROFLMAO!

[Paul M]

Is that a mod ?

[Leo Brazil]

Nope, trying that I get the following (as expected) ;

In think that could be a problem with some of my users connection (bouncing or something) because even when I was not using your mod, I've noticed some double (exactly the same) posts for some users, even with Vb flood checking like you mentioned. But always when I tried to reproduce the only thing I can get is vB message of double post.

[RedHacker]

Finally this double post worked and the quick reply and show time who posted....?

[Paul M]

Is that a question ? Dont understand it if it is.

[RedHacker]

This mod work with post reply and quick reply..? If one person write three messages the saw added the time X .....?

[Paul M]

Assuming I understand you - Yes.

[RedHacker]

What doing this choise "Update the timestamp of a doublepost." ....?

[Keyser S?ze]

its like, if u posted at 3pm, then double post 2 hours later and have that set to on, it will change the 3pm to 5pm, as if u never posted at 3 in the first place

personally i didnt like that so i set it to no

[Hornstar]

When I am logged in this works, but when I log in on any other account this does not work. why?

I noticed that when I post it is all ajax loading, but when I am logged in on any other account it always does a page reload which comes up with this message:

Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to your post. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

I think this may be why it is only working on my main. No idea why this message is coming up tho.

[Paul M]

That looks like the message you get when you create a new thread ?

If you get that any other time I would guess another plugin is causing it.

[Hornstar]

I was using your logged in as user hack while testing it on other accounts so not sure if that is the problem. either way, it is still not working for other people only myself, so I will start to disable other hacks and see if one is conflicting.

[Hornstar]

Update it is working only on some peoples accounts which just makes this stranger.

Example: http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/spam-house/128402-double-posting-ftw-8.html#post1229182

Sorry, but unless you give me full admin access to your forum, there is little I can tell you.

[rmxs]

you have exclude this usergroups?
check your settings...

[Hornstar]

I found that MGC chatbox was causing the problem, I have now disabled that. It is now almost working for everyone. 1 member was still able to double post tho. (I have it set to include all usergroups, setting it to 0)

[xiMxAxPr0Bl3Mx]

Thanks a lot!

[teou]

Paul, this has a big bug in our 3.8.2.

I have set it to merge posts in several days (a month, actually). It always says the previous post was yesterday, even if it has been several days earlier.
That, combined with bump makes me lose the original date of the first post.

[Paul M]

Hmmm. It was never designed for such a large merge period, so yes, that will happen.

I'll take a look at fixing it for you.

Edit: Fixed in 3.8.005

[-=Leb=-]

thx for all work paul <3

Nope, works fine for me, and no one else has reported such a thing, which would suggest its something local to you.

either it WILL WORK

it will merge the post but ADD the post as well resulting in a merged post and an extra one that is posted

Thanks nice hack.

Installed.

[spankaveli]

is there a hack like this compatible with 3.7 that gives the option to allow (or disallow) certain subforums?

[John Danley]

Works good. Thanks.

[ry215]

Nice work! But what about time zones? All see one time zone?

Same question, any idea?

Thanks.

[Paul M]

There is no facility to take account of timezones as the timestamp is physical text in the post.

Hey Paul.
Great Mod I have it installed, quick question:
If the user is to double-post, and it merges the posts, does it increment the user's post count or keep it the same and treat it as an edit?

[Paul M]

Post count is not increased, its basically a merge.

[Amiga Harrison]

I've just updated from the original Xenon mod (that I've had installed since vB 3.6.4) to this one, and it is working perfectly on vB 3.8.3.

Thank you for the update to what was becoming quite an old but still very useful mod. I like the improvements. Keep up the great work. :)

[elenh]

Works very nice but they crash with the Expanded Edition Hide hack 3.7.1 from Psionic Vision (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=80739).
If a member reply then Hiden content dont showing automatic.

Not unistalled but disabled.

[PAKIDIL]

will this work with 3.7.x

[Paul M]

Probably, of you edited the dependancies in the xml.

[Sayid]

Any tips how I can not make effected this to any thread opener on their threads?

Or at least in first two posts.

btw, thanks for sharing this nice mod.

[Paul M]

Sorry, there is no ability to do that.

[unfv]

have you experienced that, sometimes, when someone sends a message, it publish twice?

[Paul M]

Nope.

[high6]

Thanks a ton, very useful :D. Can you make it so something like -1 makes it so it always appends the post no matter the time?

[DeadRabbit]

Great Mod.

Installed.

Thou i read from the posts that there was a .js file. Was it removed? Cause it wasn't available to download.

To make that, just set the minutes really high, like 9999999999999999

[Paul M]

There used to be a JS file edit, that was removed in 3.8.003

[bada_bing]

I have this installed and wanted to know if the post is automenrged with in given time will the post be bumped to the top. Example I start a thread and 15 posts down I reply and then reply again where my threads are now merged will my post be bumped to the top?

[Paul M]

Sorry, I dont understand what you mean by "will my post be bumped to the top"

Bumped to the top of what exactly ?

I think I get what you're asking... You want to know if conditions are met for the last post to get merged (you're the last poster, and it is within the time period for automerging ETC) will the topic get bumped to the top of the topic lists... In the settings there is this option:
Bump Thread
Update the timestamp of a doublepost. Yes No

So it is up to how you set that :) Default is Yes.


Side note... Just installed it, SAH-WEET!! thanks :)

Thank you for clearing up my question as this was exactly what I wanted to know and thanks for providing the answer.. Thanks

[princeedward]

installed....thanks :p

[ricardoNJ]

I have a "Database error"

[Paul M]

and would you like to share that error .....

[yamahapaul]

I cann't believe that its taken me over 12 months to find this great mod! thanks Paul :up:

[Paul M]

This was was only released 7 months ago :D

.... although the original Xenon version has been around much longer :)

[ForumUser210]

Whaaat?

This mod isn't working right. Or it's being interfered by another mod.

Because when I use the quick reply box, instead of the message, it will post "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply."

And sometimes, instead of adding the new post the member wrote, it will repeat the same post from before! And the new post disappears into thin air.

Something not right about this mod.

[Log on]

great job

[Paul M]

Something not right about this mod.
Given that over 600 people (min) are using it, including me, without any issues. Im going to bet that the mod is fine, and you have a local issue.

[TimberFloorAu]

Can I make a request Paul.

Can this be configured so that we can edit the time stamp message ?

[Paul M]

The message is a phrase, you are free to edit it.
