Xenon, and I'm sorry for probably asking yet another stupid question, what would I write for a spacer

That was in fact the problem

Had I read through all 22 pages, I probably would have noticed that :)

But.. You know how that can be... I didnt even realize it got updated.. I have been installing all my hacks over on a new server and I guess it got updated shortly after I installed and before I clicked install.. Serves me right :)

Thanks! I am working again

I just installed this. Seems to work well.

Kinda sucks with enourmous popular hack threads. people wind up asking the same questions multiple times because they don't want to read through 50 pages of posts.

Maybe one day there will be a nice addiation to vbulletin that searches a specific thread, as we can search specific forums.

I think maybe a faq.txt on every hack would be useful, but that is a lot more management for the author of the hack and therefore cuts into upgrading time :)

@Morris: no problem, such things could happen, it's a beta hack, so upgrades can come fast and silent ;)

but forf the other thing you two are discussing.... (we have something in mind, which will be installed soon ;) (afterthe 3.5 upgrade))

@katholic: add a
for example

You can already search a single thread.

Nice one, thanks!

It seems the double post merging is skipped sometimes even within the time span set for the bumping feature. I can't say much more on that now but I'll try to get that one reproducable.

Greets

^ Yeah, it's happened to me a few times as well

I, three, have noticed the same thing. It doesn't happen all the time but it does occur atleast 5% of the time.

at least 5% of the time? So 95% of the time it doesn't work? Are you sure you didn't get that backwards?

At least for me it is not 95% of the time but a lot more than 5% actually.

I think I did this hack when it was a file edit, can I now upload it as a plugin and have it set to overwrite the previous? Or must I find out what I did to edit it before? I read most of this thread to find the answer but didn't see it.

/me clicks install

All this "look on this page for the answer" stuff is confusing.

Xenon, I have this phrase:


If I change that to:

That will disable it for mods/admins, correct?

Edit: Yep, that seemed to do it.

@Mike: just reupload an unhacked functions_newpost.php to remove the old hack and then just upload the plugin

@Chris: correct, but the added condition should be placed into the custom condition field in the vbulletin options, that's why i added that field ;)

@possible problems: the merge is just done, if the merged post won't produce an error.
so if the new post would have to much chars or images it won't merge.
also posts with attachments are not jet merged

What happens with me... for the random times it doesn't work... is it's the exact same post.. twice, but in the second one... it'll have the additional comment bit added as well.

...and these posts have just been plain text, nothing that would cause an error.

No 5% of the time it doesn't work. I had it correct the first time, depending on how the person wishes to read it.

i'm trying to exclude admin posts from automerging using this in the Additional Conditions:

...but it's still merging my posts. any ideas/alternatives?

Xenon; sorry if its already been posted, a user on my forums made three posts with the exact same content and it processed it as three different posts. (so the user has three posts saying "thank you")

hmm, that posts should filtered out by the dupe check already

are you sure you don't have another hack installed?

I don't think there are any conflicts, I do have the hack installed which marks the thread as old after xx days, but the thread the posts were made in, is recent.

the user said, he was stuck on the page for a while.

I just tried to duplicate the problem, but can't seem to, will see if it happens again and post back.

Would you mind cleary addressing the quick reply issue? I just did a fresh install of this hack on a fresh 3.5.3 board, and the quick reply still doesn't refresh the page automatically.

Paul's fix apparently doesn't work with your new release either.

Erm?
there is no quick reply issue in the newest version.
there is no refresh after a QR if you have ajax enabled.

I just installed today and I as well have to refresh before it merges the posts.

Also how can i exclude this form 2 forums. I tried,
But that just made a duplicate messaage turn up evrytime i posted.

on ajax it will look like two posts and will be merged afterwards, that's why the tilte of the ajax' post is 'Doublepost will be merged'

as for your code, there are two mistaked:

it's in_array, not is_array

and you should use $threadinfo[forumid] instead of the $globals one

agreed
On a fresh install of vB 3.5.3
after a post, when you quick reply it shows as two posts
then you have to REFRESH for it to merge

yep, that is working as designed

the post is already merged, but with the new AJAX features of 3.5.0 that's the only possible way without really much hacking into the files as well

I am using this in Additional Condition input field and it is still not bypassing your hack in the apropriate forums.

I used that code ^^ but from when Xenon previously said about it, it was ['forumid'] instead... and it seems the forum numbers you put in, are the forums that will have the hack apply to.. so is there a way of doing the opposite and making the code deny the forums we don't want to use the hack?

just add an ! infront ofthe in_array to inverse the condition ;)

Actually he never used the ' ' marks.

Xenon slight bug when using this with Ucash and Ushop. If I use the condition: it causes this problem: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=878

So I changed it to:
And now it works fien with ucash and ushop.

Excellent. The array to turn it off per-forum is going to help me a lot with the forums which require a lot of double posting.

Thanks for this, Xenon.

This is a great hack
I have 3.5.3 and I installed this one it seems it's working BUT the problem is it creates a post (another post, a second post. as usual posting) with "two posts", one merged post but not "1", there are actually two posts.
but the second one is a merged post, contains the first and the second post.
if I post third times, the third post contains first, second and the last one, as a merged post but there are now 3 posts not "1"

what is my problem and how can I fix this?
it works great on vbulletin.org I had surprised with that when I try to re-post another question under a thread of mine and I found this hack after that.

sorry about my English BTW and Thanks.

Umm, could someone explain how to install this, exactly? :ninja:

Nevermind, figured it out on my own :D

@Muddercool: redownload the plugin again, make sure it'S the newest version..

also empty your browser cache, and make sure there is no other hack conflicting, this one is a sensible hack, regarding that damn AJAX "features"...

Awesome =]

Thanks a lot! =D

How do I exclude certain usergroups and forums? And how and where do I put the code?

at badabing, please read through the last pages of this thread, this question has been answerewd several times already....
