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.

King Kovifor, but its not good:)

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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

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.

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

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

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. :(

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

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.

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.

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

;)

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.

excellent plugin :)

The question has no relevance to what I posted.

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.

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

thx :)

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

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

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

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.

Awesome !!

Thanks Paul, you're da man.

Very grateful and thank you for all you have done.

Tagged for install asap..

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

It doesnt matter.

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

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

Which is in 3.8.002, now available.

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.

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.

It just means you can easily change the wording of the divider, or if you have multiple languages a different translation for each one...

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.

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:
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

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

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?

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

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?

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 :)

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.

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

It already says that in the big red note ;)
