can anyone explain how to timestamp a double post? damn an update to add that would be great :)

ok o got problems that still are not solved after reading almost every post in this thread

Details

VB Version 3.6.8

1) When person post a reply not using the quick reply they get a white page that says flood. In quick reply that dose not happen just shows a redirect page which is fine. Can this be changed?


2) no matter what when someone double posts it auto merges the 2 posts which is what it is suposed to do ok

but

it also leaves a copy of the post under the merged post

so now not only have the posts been merged but now there are technically 2 post the same in the thread

here is a demo of what happened

Any support would be great cause i now have this uninstalled untill we can resolve this

You've got another hack installed that is fighting with it.

Also, did you check the settings for it in the Admin CP?

yes i checked the setting in the admin cp as far as i know they are set right

any suggestion on what kinda mod would have a effect on this?

i will try to post a list of the mods that i use

Is not working for me, also I re-installed it with another file that a user put here and also is not working in my 3.6.8 patch level 2, I don´t know how to check if it is disable, but the file that also put here another users mentioned that is enabled.

I don´t know how to get this mod works in my forum, help.

I reinstalled it with this file that is enabled it by default and also nothing happens in my forum, any other idea ?

POST #756

Help!!! :)

Bump, please help us.

thnx.

Option to set which forum it works in by chance?

Yes you can exclude forums in which you don't want it to work.

Has anyone come up with a good line for adding to the post for this?

The same question as Boofo, will be great if somebody have a line like this forum have.

To answer both post you can found it 1 page back.
I also wanted to know how to do it and its 2 pages back.

Find this code:
Replace it with this
Thats all :)

That does minutes and seconds, not the date and time like on here.

And also I don´t know why in my forum don´t appears in little size and blue.

I would rather have xx hours and xx minutes later then xx minutes and xx seconds or a date.
So if anybody has a solution to the line for hours and minuts I would appreciate it.

@Mariocaz: It does not appear in color standard as far as I know, at least on my forums it only appears in bold and black like normal text, so I would like the option for coloring the line too if anybody knows how to do this.

Works great! :D

Yes, be sure to manually enable the plugin, because it is disabled by default.

Okay...

I see we have 55 pages of posts here...and to be honest...I'm lazy and don't feel like searching through every post to find a resolution to the issues I'm facing with this mod.

I'm currently running vb 3.6.8 PL2 and this mod is working...other than for the problems listed below:

1. The Quick Reply feature...which I have read about, here in this thread, but don't believe the fix is specifically for my version of vbulletin...I could be wrong, but if someone could let me know...I'd much appreciate it.

2. If a person does double-post, then the auto merged post is not included in the New Posts if doing a search for new posts.

3. I also want the following line added as the separation for the merged posts:

On [Today's Date] at [The Current Time] [username] added...

So, if anyone, with kindness in their heart, would like to assist me with this...again, I'd really appreciate it. You don't even have to be kind, really...just have a willingness to help...LOL!

Hmm..... I'll see if I can have a try answering you.

1.) I don't know of any fix, mine was running non 3.6.8 pl2 fine without any fix as far as I know. But I'm not sure if my users used the quickreply so maybe you need the fix.

2.) That's normal behaviour, a merge post is in fact not a new post but an edited post. Edited post do not show up as new posts.

3.) A few more users asked that one, so we have to wait until somebody answers how to code such line.:)

I was not much of a help for you, except maybe by explaining question 2, but he... every little bit of help is something.;)

Thanks for getting back to me...

The Quick Reply problem is when someone does double post using Quick Reply, but the post shows as an additional post until the page is refreshed...then it shows as "merged".

There were two replies to this problem...one was to turn the Ajax features off...and the other was a code modification for vbulletin 3.5. So the code modification will not work...unless someone is using code for 3.6.8 PL2 of which I'm not aware.

As far as your statement goes about an editied post not showing as a new post...that's not true. An edited post will show as a new post...at least for 3.6.8 PL2 it does.

And as for the third problem...I guess I'll just sit back and watch the support come pouring in...LOL! Just kidding.

Again...thanks for the help...it's greatly appreciated...

Okay...

I've enabled "Disable Problematic Ajax Features" through the Admin CP...this seems to have taken care of the refresh problem. Hopefully, it won't cause any issues anywhere else. So #1 is taken care of.

As for #2...It doesn't matter whether this gets addressed or not...it's not really that important.

As for #3...I hope someone can provide me with the code I need to make it happen.

Thanks in advance...

How can I exclude certain forums from using this hack? Example I only want my selling and trading forums to use this hack and not my other forums???

That depends. It can do that, but then you have to put the "Bump Thread" setting to "yes". And standard it is set to no.
You could try setting this to "no" if you have it to "yes" and you don't want it as a new post.

I had running 3.6.8 pl2 before, at this moment I'm running 3.7.0 b5.

let's try this...thanks... ;)

Does this work on vb 3.7?
Please add a function to exclude forums.

It does work on 3.7. Could be some template text is slightly changed, but it does work. I've got it running on 3.7.0 b6. But I'm using the TMS which is an enormous releave for mods for which template edits are needed.
No more reverting and editting again when upgrading vBulletin.

Does this exclude Mods, Smods & Admin or is this hack for all usergroups ?

Yes you can exclude them.

ever since adding this to my forum, no one can edit there posts, no one can go advanced
can anyone help and tell me why and how to fix it??

How and where do you do that... Also can you exclude certain forums

Is this modification used here?

I saw that there is something similar (or this) in place here, right?

An custom version is used here in some forums.

Would be nice if vb.org can release it...

Yes, indeed :)

I dont have the time to seperate it out atm, and we could not do it without Xenons permission anyway.

throwing in my useless opinion here but to me if a mod is not supported then it really shouldnt matter if someone else releases an enhanced version of it

unless the thread asks not to or it plans to be supported in some way

Well, I agree with Paul - Xenon should be asked beforehand.

I could do this, no problem, if you want, but Paul (sadly) doesn't have the time atm.

@Paul: Please come back to us, if you have the time to work on this :)

I already have this working flawlessly on 3.7.0 RC2. ;)

Default? or did you modify this?

If you modified it, can you get permission and release it, I am looking to ugpade soon, and just making sure all my hacks are ready to go with 3.7
