Merge Double Posts By Same Member

[ディン1031]

I finally got it working as it should in my theme and can now see the "Doublepost" option in Features and options.

Now I have one question - is there a way to set the automatic merge to not merge posts that are 24hrs or more apart?

In the Merge Options
Time between the posts with automatic merge, in seconds.

24h = 60*60*24 *calculating* 3600*24 = 72000 + 4 * 3600 = 72000 + 14400 = 86400 seconds for a day .

Version 1.0.8
+ A Option to add a own seperator instead of the Standard Version
* Upgrades for the German and English Version are included
- Spanish Translation is Outdated


Small new Options added, only for people who needed it should update *g*, or for people who like be up to date. (Upgrade included).

I wonder if it would be usefull to have a warning box on merging posts as it is oneway procedure.
I mean for manual merge, not automatic

You mean a small alert on clicking on merge post?

Elo,
I've been trying to modify the Display.template.php file manually in the IGOH Dual theme, but it's too complicated for me...
Some lines are much different as in the mod file, for example:

Code Select Expand


<edit file>
$themedir/Display.template.php
</edit file>

<search for>
$split_button = create_button('split.gif', 'smf251', 'smf251', 'align="middle"');
</search for>
But in the theme file, there is nothing like

Code Select Expand

$split_button = create_button I'm confused at this point
If someone would be helpful to insert/modify the missing code in this file... Thank you in advance. 
Chris

Code Select Expand


<edit file>
$themedir/Display.template.php

'<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/modify.gif" alt="' . $txt[66] . '" border="0" />' : $txt[17]), '</a>';
</search for>

//Doublepost for Merge?
if ($message['can_modify'] && $message['doublepost']['postok'] && !empty($message['doublepost']['lastpostid']))
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=mergeposts;pid=', $message['id'], ';msnid=', $message['doublepost']['lastpostid'], ';topic=', $context['current_topic'], '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/mergeposts.gif" alt="' . $txt['merge_doublepost'] . '" border="0" />' : $txt['merge_doublepost']), '</a>';

Sorry, but... I've read the whole topic almost two times, in order to find a solution. I've tried several things but without any success...
The mod was installed without any problems. Also, I've modified the display.template.php and other files, but the button, didn't show.

[jkrlvgn]

Hm.  This works fine for me...but...I've now got it set to automatically merge from the "Features and Options" part.

I just tested it like...two seconds ago.

Are you looking to manually merge them, or...?  Maybe we're just missing something.

The button only appear when...

How did i define a Double Post
user1 wrtie something
user2 write something
user2 write something again
user1 write something

So now the button appears by user2 who wrote two posts

If you enable automatic, you will not see it an when the use have no rights to edit posts :x.

I'm running this on v1.1.3, and have run into a couple of problems...

I'm not sure if they're from the manual merging, or the automatic ones, but my Error Log suddenly starting filling up with these two errors:

8: Undefined index: search_date_posted
File: /home/essen6/public_html/tcf/Sources/SplitTopics.php
Line: 1184

and

Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: merge_doublepost
File: /home/essen6/public_html/tcf/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 3572

This is line 1184 of the SplitTopics.php file:

Code Select Expand

$date = $txt['search_date_posted'].': '.$msn['0']['Time'];

And this is line 3572 of the Subs.php file:

Code Select Expand

return '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/buttons/' . $name . '" alt="' . $txt[$alt] . '" ' . $custom . ' />' . ($label != '' ? '<b>' . $txt[$label] . '</b>' : '');

Any idea as to what may be causing this?

[ディン1031]

looks like a language thing, did you use a other language?

I'm using the default after I did the upgrade.  It says it's English-utf8.

[ディン1031]

Ah than it logical, i only change the standard files, not the english-utf8 files... you must insert the language changes for the English file sin the english-utf-8 files than the error should disappear.

Which files would those be?  I tried changing the board to English, and that didn't resolve the problem.

EDIT:  I take that back...the only one I still get is this one...

8: Undefined index: search_date_posted
File: /home/essen6/public_html/tcf/Sources/SplitTopics.php
Line: 1184

[ディン1031]

hmmm can you look if in the index.english.php is this

Code Select Expand


$txt['merge_doublepost'] = 'Double Posts';
$txt['merge_error_dbpo'] = 'You are not allowed to do this!';
$txt['merge_error_notf'] = 'Sorry, no Posts found to Merge.';
$txt['merge_error_noid'] = 'No Message ID or Topic found!';
$txt['search_date_posted'] = 'Posted on';
$txt['merge_error_lenth'] = 'The merged post have reached the maximum post length!';

THANKS!  That was it!

[askepott]

how to make it automatic ?

[askepott]

Hmmm no one need this until now, and why should user not allowed to merge his own double post .

In Features and Options -> Doublepost

There is the Option "Automatic merge new doubleposts"

Hi DIN1031,
You're mod is wonderful! I already installed it and I saw the "doublepost" option on replies. But, I can't see the option that says "Doublepost" on the features and options.

I know this is only a small issue, and I'm sure you can help me out.

Thanks
