New Posting Features - Merge Double Post

vb 3.8 version here

This mod join consecutive posts of the same member to single one. That prevents nasty "bumps".

That's a complete rewrite of "Double Post Prevention Plus", that was announced here. Besides some new features, merge algorythm changed too. It doesn't creates dummy posts anymore. Code is reuseable at last.

Well, what this mod do:

• The main - it merge consecuent posts of the same user to single one
• Yes, it cares about attachments
• Yes, it cares about AJAX posting
• Yes, it cares about social groups, if you wish
• It can add splitter with RELATIVE time. Users from different time zones will not be confused
• Relative time can be translated via addon for languages with complex semantics (russian translation included).

It just works

How to install:

1. Upload files from appropriate directory
2. Import product XML
3. If you use russian language - import translation addon from "./lang" dir. You should not do it for other languages.
4. Go to ACP ant set necessary product options (see screenshot).
5. Check ACP -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Time to Wait Before Starting to Display 'Last Edited by...' . Set it to 10-15 minutes. Before that time delimitor will not be added, as useless.

If you used my "Doublepost Prevention Plus" mod before, please, remember settings and uninstall it first.

This mod is developped here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-merge_doubleposts . Patches are welcome.

installed, my board is bad for users posting the same thing twice and not being their fault.
hopefully this will help our issue.

@Boofo:

If you have 50 forums on your site, you want doublepost to work in all except 2 forums, then you use the ignore ... you can simply enter the two forum ids ...

If you have 50 forums on your site, you want doublepost to work in just two forums, then you use the enable, you can simply enter the forum ids ....

So it just depends where you want to put the exception and then it is actually very easy to use in both cases ... good choice Vitaly! (Y)

Hi!
I got some problem with bump Post.
The Date of the post is bumped to the new time but in vb New Threads the post is only listed with the first time of the postig.

Great Idea!!!! Thank you, Sir.

hello,

i installed hack and it works good but i have an problem.

i've written a post.
somebody written a post after me.
when i wrote after somebody in merge time, script adds somebody's post with quote.

i don't want to adding previous posts with quote.

what can i do about this problem -for me-?

sorry for bad english

May be, auto quoted text can be switched off from ACP. I think, this is not affiliated to this mod - check if you get the same result when mod is off.

Sry for selfquote but an answer would be nice.

[Vitaly]

It's by design. Second post time is shown in separator, if you use it. IMHO, result is good: thread is bumped, and you can see all timestamps.

[Braddock]

Ok,
i think my explenation isn't very good.
All Timestamps are changed when a second post is merged, but when i am searching for new posts, the merged post is not shown.
I hope i can make clear what my problem is. English is not my prefered language!
