  Please, be careful, some FTP clients could revrite contents of the destination folder!
• Update add-on in the control panel with the xml file from archive.

ATTENTION!
Since the work of the add-on associated with the change of message content, it is strongly recommended that you will make backup of your database before performing the next step.

• After the upgrade is complete, check your add-on's settings, and if you are satisfied, you can run the cron entry to replace the [MERGETIME] tag in old messages. For this purpose, in the control panel under "Tools"- "Cron Entries" run task "[xfr] Merge Double User Post: daily cleaning (do not forget to make a backup of the database).

[Edrondol]

This is one of the top 5 addons we call a must have for our board. Installing/testing now.

 

[Edrondol]

Ironically, I'm double posting to say the double post prevention addon works wonders! Love it!

Found an error.

When clicking "Members Online Now" I get the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'XFCP_XfRu_MergeDoubleUserPost_ControllerPublic_Thread' not found in /home/davidn/public_html/xenforo/library/XfRu/MergeDoubleUserPost/ControllerPublic/Thread.php on line 217

 

[Edrondol]

Weird! This only happens on 1 user. How very odd.

 

[Pepelac]

Sorry for the big delay in the work with this add-on.

I've updated the first post because of release of the new version of this add-on.

Please, read carefully upgrade instructions and make backup of the database of your forum.

PS. That error from the Edrondol's post is very weird, I've got it couple of times on the live web, but can't reproduce it on my local machine, so I'll keep searching, where the problem can be.

PPS. Can someone change thread title to "[XFb5] XFR - Merge Double User Post v.1.2.0 En_Ru"? Thanks in advance.

PPPS. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I can add this add-on in my queue

 

[Kaiser]

Wow, you make add ons that should be included with xenforo in the first place. good job, and keep it up.

I also seem to be seeing that error in the logs. I notice it seems to occur when a user views profiles or "current visitors". So I think it has something to do with fetching the user's recent activity? Just a thought.

 

[ArnyVee]

Keeping an eye on this one

 

[Salty]

It would be cool to set keywords like, "Threads in General with titles containing the word Google, merge them all together with _____ as the parent"

Even set that up to run every 10, 30, 60 minutes

Hello, add-on working on RC2 ?

 

[Edrondol]

Hello, add-on working on RC2 ?

Yes.

Thanks for this great addon!

I'm just wondering if it's possible to add a space between the "Added: timestamp" and the spacer bar thing? It's a bit squished together... and I can't figure out where to edit it.

Uprading to version 1.2.0.

• Copy contents of "upload" folder to the root folder of your forum.
  Please, be careful, some FTP clients could revrite contents of the destination folder!

Also, I don't understand the above - isn't it supposed to rewrite the contents? I mean, if you have a previous version of this addon installed then the library will already have a folder named "XfRu", so surely we want it to rewrite this so that it is updated? Sorry for not understanding, but I just wanted to check before upgrading (I'm only using the 1.0.1 version)...
