That's a work that you must done by your self for each other theme...

Ok, done.
After installing the mod, that is what I changed:

In Display.template.php on my style before:

Code Select Expand


// Can the user modify the contents of this post?
I added:

Code Select Expand


//Doublepost for Merge?
$MergePosts_button = $settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/mergeposts.gif" alt="'.$txt['merge_doublepost'].'" Title="'.$txt['merge_doublepost'].'" border="0" />' : $txt['merge_doublepost'];

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'], '">', $MergePosts_button, '</a>';
Also the button mergeposts.gif had to be added to my language dir.

Btw:
Your mod generates errors.
In mod file instead:
index.php
You should use:
$boarddir/index.php

and instead:
Themes/default/Display.template.php
You should use:
$themedir/Display.template.php


btw2:

Code Select Expand

$newbody = $msn['0']['body'].(empty($modSettings['MergePost_NoHR']) ? (empty($modSettings['MergePost_OldTimeAdd']) ? '[br][size=1]'.$txt['search_date_posted'].': '.$msn['0']['Time'].'[/size]' : '').'[hr]' : '[br]').$msn['1']['body'];


I think it looks better:

Code Select Expand

$newbody = $msn['0']['body'].(empty($modSettings['MergePost_NoHR']) ? (empty($modSettings['MergePost_OldTimeAdd']) ? '[hr][size=1]'.$txt['search_date_posted'].': '.$msn['0']['Time'].'[/size][br]' : '[hr]') : '[br]').$msn['1']['body'];


btw3:
Great idea with this automerge function

[ディン1031]

Okay i know this with the $boardurl and the $themedir but i've currently not so much time to change it :X
(I'm only on my lunch at work here). But i hope i can correct it on my vacations .

[ディン1031]

It's 1.06 compatible, i've tested it... (also it should work with the installer).

[haktanir2]

The mod works fine but it says "Postet" instead of Posted

which file would I have to edit to fix this?

Logical, because the second post is the master post so he use als settings of this post and for the normal version it work because there are no special settings for posts :x.

Hi DIN1031,

Your mod has been very useful.  It helped merged 3 posts (within 7 mins) into 1 post:
http://www.fivearts.net/index.php/topic,66.msg310.html#msg310

In the above post, you might have noticed that I have added two BR before HR and one BR after, like this:

Code Select Expand

[BR][BR][HR][BR]

By moving the "Posted on" away from the HR, it seems clearer the "Posted on" is refering to the message above it.

After using Merge Double Post, one thing I am concerned is the merging of 2 long posts. It will become a very long post. At the moment I only have an example of a long post and a short post merged: http://www.fivearts.net/index.php/topic,18.msg113.html#msg113

Is it possible to include a setting to decide how many words or characters before merging 2 posts?
For example:
post1 (90 words or less) + post2 (90 words or less) = to merge
post1 (90 words or less) + post2 (91 words or more) = to merge
post1 (90 words or more) + post2 (90 words or less) = to merge
post1 (91 words or more) + post2 (91 words or more) = do not merge

post1 (90 words or less) + post2 (90 words or less) + post3 (90 words or less) = merge post 1 and 2 (if 1+2 = 90 words or less, merge post3. if 1+2 = 91 words or more, do not merge post 3)

I noticed that in Admin > Post and Topics (smf1.1rc2) there is already a rule:
Maximum allowed post size: [box] characters

So there might be some way of counting characters? Will you be considering this idea?

cheers,

[ディン1031]

hmmm i think i've check the max size hmmm or did i want do this and forgot it, okay i will insert it it's a good idea XD, but what should i do should i delete the old text, or is than no way to merge it? hmmm okay before i do this i need a little bit think time XD.

Oh i see you answer it allready XD

Hi DIN1031,

Need your advise. When I tried to uninstall Merge Double Post 1.03 (MDP), I get error messages . So I uninstalled all other mods that were installed after MDP, and then uninstall MDP. I still get these error messages:
