Love this and Love U Xenon!
ill try on my board NOW!

I'm having an issue. If someone starts a thread, then makes a doublepost (most users use the doublepost as a feature rather than editing a post) the thread disappears.

If someone else doubleposts, it's fine, just if you start a thread then doublepost to it. It doesn't say 'Doublepost will be Merged' or anything and when you refresh the page, you get the standard "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Can someone else confirm?

I have the same issue.

just look a few posts above yours, there is the solution ;)

@thread lost:
confirmed, when bumping is enabled, will upload a fix soon :)

Udpate: Beta 4

just the mentioned bug above has been removed.
if you have disabled bumping, you don't have to upgrade, as nothing else changed!

ok I put that in the conditionals section in vb options and it still auto merges the admins posts. :ermm:

erm, you have to negate it ;)

just look at the example !can_moderate to know how that conditionbox works :)

ok duh. thanks :)

Working great now, Xenon! Thanks!

Not working with Mystics Thread Prefix Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99925)

Edit: It works, but the Error Message above is shown.

Hi peeps

I have just tried this out...
It works great, cheers for a great hack

@pipin: you better ask Mystics in his supportthread "lastthreadprefix is not defined in $validfields" shows that it's actually his hack making a problem here, so he should know what to do, i don't.

sure, just wanted to point it out to people who want to use your hack and are using the prefix hack already. ;)

Is there a way to prevent it from showing the "Edited by" line based on user permissions?

thats actually not a part of this hack . thats by default when a thread is edited.. change this by usergroups if im correct.. you can choose to allow a certain usergroup permissions to see such info.

Yes, I'm aware of that, and I've set it so none of my usergroups leave that message. But when this hack is used, it still gives the message.

ah.. didnt realize that it actually reads double post automerged or something like that ... whats the big deal though ..

anyway .. just trying to help bud.. im sure xenon will help you out

Nvm, I figured it out. You need to erase the edited by default message in vBoptions. That stops it from doing that.

Thanks for trying to help :)

Just a question Xenon, but when you updated to Beta 4 I didn't get a notification...any ideas? This was a bug that was affecting me...which is why I bring it up ;)

Either way thanks for the fix, and this mod is absolutely gorgeous! :)

Sorry, i don't send out update emails for every beta version, just if there are really big changes in.

I don't want to spam my installers, just because i fixed a little bug here and there, but i will send out mails, if i do something important normally ;) (like releasing the final ;))

Can you choose which forums to use this hack rather then having it work in all forums? Any chance of this using usergroups also?

im using Thread Prefixes and this Mod twise on my board ;) no problem here
i think error caused by another mod.

@bada_bing: not directly, but you can changes the condition yourself from within the acp

Can you help me by explaing where and how to do this ?

just read the last two pages, there i explained how to exclude admins for example :)

What about only applying this hack to only certain forums. For example I have users that link to BUMP there posts in the selling & trading forums but not in other forums

Something was causing this product to delete threads when an automerged double post was made, I've had to uninstall this hack.

Maybe you could look into it, sorry I can't provide much more detail as I don't know the cause of it.

@enforce: that was a bug in beta 3 and has been fixed in beta 4 :)

When was beta 4 released? Cause I downloaded the product and installed it last night

3. February

maybe your cache has holded an older version, but that bug was the reason to release Beta 4, and noone reported right now, that such a bug still exists, so try to redownload the file after clearing the cache, and if you get that bug again, please give me a few more details if possible, because its not reproducable here..

i'd really like to use this in my classifieds forums.

Ok I installed the last version and using quick reply we are having the issue where you have to refresh in order for it to appear merged. I have read over this thread and tried the example given but it isn't working.

maybe you have manually edited the js or other parts of ajax' code

on a plain vb there is no need for a refresh, that was just a thing of the old version

@punto: add something like
into the codition setting

What files was it that you made us edit before deciding to make a plugin instead? Because i'd like to undo those edits but can't remember the file(s).

Looking forward to there being a stable production release of this hack. Looks like a nice one to have :)

I haven't done anything as far as I know that would have altered the Ajax or Js. My board isn't heaving modified...just a few modifcations.

The only way I could get this to work properly was to set the Ajax to ignore problematic features....Now my question is....How can I space and bold the divider message? Keep in mind I am not totally familiar with programming languages and am basically learning this stuff as I'm going.

Here is a pretty major bug to report.. Hopefully its not just me and somethin you can fix...

But...

On my board, If you create a new thread and then post again in it before anyone else within the time to automerge, it deletes the thread.. :ermm:

Like I said.. It may be something on my board, so you all may want to try it.. I have been using this for a couple weeks and just noticed..

I am keeping it installed but disabled for now...

Just test, it don't happen on my board

Damn.. That is what I was afraid of!! :(

Dunno what is causing it then

@Morris: make sure you ahve installed beta 4, that bug you describes is just in beta 3!

@gwoohie...: it was jsut a change in functions_newpost.php

@katholic: the spacer can be changed from within the acp, just add a few returns in it, that should! work, or trie to add \n\n :)
