Mini Mods - DoublePost Timestamp

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This adds the following enhancements to the vB core DoublePost feature.

1. Option to turn on a timestamp separator.
2. Option for the timestamp to include the time of the previous post.

Note that as in previous versions, the timestamp is fixed, i.e. it will not change if being viewed from different timezones.

All settings are located in the existing DP settings vBulletin Options > Message Posting Doublepost Options

To install, download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.


History:

v4.2.0.0 : 17-Jun-2012 : New for vBulletin 4.2.0.

Any reason why this wasn't just built into it from the start?

[Paul M]

Yes, its doesnt play well across multiple timezones.

Note that as in previous versions, the timestamp is fixed, i.e. it will not change if being viewed from different timezones.

Thats fine in a mod, but not acceptable in the core product.

[New Joe]

Ok, thanks for the reply.
I will give it a go.

[BaanFarsang]

Why would I do that ? It would be pointless duplication of core functionality.

Great mod man, seriously should be in Core.

Request though, Anyway to have the customer separator to be used and just use a variable like %time or something? I also don't like that it updates the time of the original post either.
