Merge Double Post
Mod Version: 2.9, by Vitaly

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

Spoiler (click to open)

Everybody welcome to test new beta!

What's new (added to previous version):

• Social groups support
• Splitter with bbcodes and relative time (no problems with time zones)
• Forums exclusion
• Full AJAX support (Yeeeaaaah!!! Found a sweet solution)
• Controls attachments count
• Relative time translation via addon (for languages with non-english semantics)

(*) Current addon required ONLY for russian language. If you use english and so on - install only the main product.

. 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 https://github.com/rcdesign/vb-merge_doubleposts . Patches are welcome.
