I'd like to have a hack like this one. Actually, it would be perfect if it was exactly like what vb.org has.

I'm going to release something similar to what vb has for version 3.7 -- when I get time. :)

Wishlist:

1. [s]threads should be bumped - sometimes I go back to a thread after a long while because I have something to add, but if I'm the last person to have posted in it, the automerge prevents the thread from being bumped to the top, so my addition goes unnoticed.[/s]
2. [s]time limit after which posts do not get merged - this is just one of the possible solutions to the problem outlined in #1.[/s]
3. no need for a page reload like we have in the current version. vb.org does this correctly.
4. better time notation (like vb's).
5. blogs, photo albums, visitor comments compatibility.

Not the most impressive wishlist, but I'll add to it if I think of anything else which would be useful in my opinion.

This mod already does 1 & 2.

Nr. 3 is acceptable with the current hack as it uses AJAX to display, if the post will be merged.
Think about the # post link, which won't work...

I second Nr. 5 though

To do no.3 (like vb.org and Cable Forum) requires files edits to the ajax javascript.

(Which also means you must use the non compressed versions, not the default compressed versions).

The time notation here uses custom bb tags, which require file edits to the appropriate class.

Could you please provide instructions for improved time notation?
Is there a way to have this hack process old posts as well?

The current solution is okay, but the way vb.org does it is just a lot smoother. If there were to be a big update to this product, I would like for it to do things the way they're done on vb.org, superficially at least.

I keep clicking the download button but nothing is happening it just shows the thing load at the bottom but nothing pops up

A working version for vB3.7 RC4 would be great.

For Admin bypass?
Is possible?

you're 'da man' Jason :D

check the attached file .. ;)

What have you added to it or changed in it?

Is anyone able to start a real 3.7 Port?

It works fine on 3.7.

On my 3.7 gold it's working fine too.

You can add that to the Additional Condition (experts only) setting instead.

i think you should use "OR" ???

I onlyl have !can_moderate in there, nothing else, is that wrong then?

What does this part do?:

Hi there! EXCELLENT MOD! :up:

How is this Mod working on 3.6.8? :confused:

And how about 3.7? :confused:


Thank you so very much! :up:

didn't worked in 3.6.8, at least not for me... never tried it in 3.7.
3.7 has some new spam features, but don't know if they deal with doubleposting.

You must have done something wrong the, or some other mod/hack is conflicting with this one.
I tried this mod on 2 forums, 1 with 3.6.8, and later 3.6.9 and now 3.6.10 and it works fine.
The other forums is the 3.7.x from beta 3 to gold now, and working fine too.

Correct!

Ok, it is working for me too on 3.6.8!

I use the MODDED version of this Mod that KURTZ posted on reply nr 895 as ADMINS are NOT affected by the Mod!


BUT...! (there is always a 'but'...!)


There is this MAIN problem for international users (I run a portuguese board)

One of the MOST IMPORTANT phrases on this Mod has no capabilities for translation inside vBulletin Phrasing system:

If you are running an international board (and you need to translate into your own language) just open the file:

"product-xenon_prevdoublepost.xml"

or

"product-xenon_prevdoublepost_modded.xml"

BEFORE you install this mod and TRANSLATE the following text (bolded) into your language:


------- original piece of code to TRANSLATE -------

$doublepost['message'] = $doublepost['pagetext'] . "\n\n[SIZE=\"1\"][COLOR=\"Silver\"]" . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' added ' . intval((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline'])/60) . ' Minutes and ' . ((TIMENOW - $doublepost['dateline']) % 60). ' Seconds later...' . $vbulletin->options['xen_dp_spacer'] . "[/color][/size]\n\n" . $post['message'];

------- /original piece of code to TRANSLATE -------


Hope it helps!

Just wondering if the way that vbulletin.org does it has been posted yet?

Not to my knowledge, I would also like to know how it's done here at vb.org.:)
Meaning date and time rather then minutes and seconds.

See post #889

Paul, did you know that it shows the unix timestamp in email notifications instead of the date and time?

Actually yes I did, bbcodes dont get converted in emails, so you get the original timestamps. I believe there is a way to suppress them, but Ive never really looked into it - as its a minor irritation. :)

Thanks Paul, I already found that one with a search, but the only thing in there is this:
And I don't have a clue how or where to do that, I'm not a coder and I don't understand javascript and only know little about php.
Could you give me a "find this" and "replace with this" explanation and the name of the file or template where to change things please?

its good.

When I installed this, it was not auto enabled. This could be why 3.7.0 gold users think it does not work. It does work. Be sure to check your Product Manager and manualyl enable it.

Er, no. I've been using this since 3.5 and it doesn't seem to be doing it any more on 3.7 Gold. Not even if I disable then re-enable.

Update: Never mind. I tried redownloading, uninstalling and reinstalling. It works now but it's a bit strange until you refresh the page.

Maybe another mod is conflicting with it some how Zelda-King?
I've got it running on 3.7 Gold and not one single problem.

@Paul (or anybody else): any docs about the timestamp change please? I'm a noob with php.

Possibly. I've tried it with all other products disabled nevertheless. At the end of the day it does the job. It just doesn't AJAX correctly for me any more.

Paul Please also I need help in this, because really I want to have your great Mod like the one that is installed here in VBulletin.org

Please help us!!! :)
