New Posting Features - Merge Double Post

vb 4.x 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.

Thanks

Make sure, that "Use delimeter for forums posts" set YES.

According to screenshot, you defined delimiter message, but fogot to define where to apply. That can seems a duplicating functionality, but it's needed for other addons, which defines more complicated conditions for delimiter appearance.

[Cla75]

Sure, delimeter text is ON
run test with merge time 60 min

[Cla75]

test with time = 60 min is OK
thanks for your precious support
