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.

just 1 question : is it having bad influence on server loads ?
-------------------------------------
EDIT: am i allowed to ask 1 more question ?
is it possible to make it work in AJAX ? when double post added it shows both posts in the same post ?
anyway Tnx 4 sharing

[YankForum]

it would be nice to be able to disable it for thread starter , just like vbulletin.org

[LuisManson]

it would be great an option to compare and just ignore the double post if its exactlry the same text, since there is a bug in vb related to this which is not fixed...

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

+1

I am getting the error mentioned as well.

Once the thread is refreshed it gives me this statement in a white page for a few seconds..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /hermes/bosweb/web178/b1784/ipw.gtzuae/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4010) : eval()'d code on line 19

The thread then shows and everything is normal

Good!

But in 4.1.1 the message between merged posts doesn't appear.

thanks!

i had to uninstall, running 4.1.2 and it made every quick reply post into a double post.

Any fix for this yet? Does this work properly for vB 4.1.7?

If anyone is looking for an alternative that is only compatible with vBulletin 4.1.4 onwards and does the exact same thing see this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233234

It prevented posts entirely on my 4.1.8 installation

Best to try this one out, as it is better supported, there are a few bugs but on the whole it works fine.
