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.

Hm. I'll check that problem in 2-4 weeks, ok? No time at all right now. Hope, this bug is not so critical.

Recorded it in bug tracker.

[Braddock]

That would be great! Thx

Okay so I am having this problem and it only seems to happen to me. Where the merged posts prints the same data twice.
So if I say,
Hi, how are you.

The merged post will show as

Hi, how are you.

Hi, how are you.

It only seems to happen to me the admin and not any of the other users on the board.
What is up with that? LOL

[Vitaly]

No ideas. Probably, conflict with some other mod.

[lubbie]

Installed, and working. Only the delimeter is not set

If i try to use the VaultWiki Fix from http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-merge_doubleposts i get an error: Mismatched tag in row 62

[Popa Andrei]

[bkm_mahdi]

Please, speak english.

1. I support only UTF-8, sorry. You can try to find some convertor in google and convert encoding yourself.

2. Separator works in both cases. But it's skipped automatically, if time between posts is small. See decription in first post.
