Good point, I haven't thought of that. I'll tackle that in the next Update.

Any news yet? I'm using this plugin for a month now and it works great!

As soon as I can find the time, yes.

Also, I found an error while trying to install it.

That looks like a faulty upload to me. Make sure all files - especially the one mentioned in the error - are in the right place and of the right size.

I was able to install it now but next is this...

@xTrisx - Question. Before you got whitelisted by your host, what was the addon doing? Mine does nothing, regardless of what permission setting I have.

It tried to merge but due to the permission, it didn't went through. So I have to contact our host to have modsecurity whitelist the site.

So is anyone else using this getting a persistent "draft"? Such as, you make the first post, and after you make the second post that gets merged the start of the second message will not go away until you "delete drafts". I have tested and determined that yes, it's this addon that's causing it. Not sure if this is a common thing or if there's a conflict with another addon.

Also, do you think it would be possible to change the double post time from hours to minutes? We'd like to have 15 minutes instead of an hour, but that's just our preference.

That was a common bug. I've published a hotfix to tackle this problem. If you've already updated to 1.0.1, just upload the files anew, overwriting the old ones as usual on an update and you're good to go. The problem should be gone then.

I'll think about covering this case in the next update.

Woot! Thanks for the speedy response.

Uploaded the files and now when you try and double post it shows an error:

Oops! We ran into some problems.

Please enter a valid title.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that this was a really big deal with the older version of the XF1 addon that WMTech took over - it was originally structured exactly the way you've structured this one (without the exemption permission) and everyone complained. So I'm trying to help spare you that whole argument again. The only way to make this work in a manner that is instantly and easily integratable with an existing usergroup structure/philosophy is the way they did it.

I went through and had the same problem with that other add-on as well so I will never install this one. It never did work correctly. It caused too many problems due to the way it was originally done.

@RSI i recommend reading the patch notes of the 1.0.1 update.

When posting via tapatalk, messages are not merged.

 

[Ozzy47]

That is a issue with tapatalk, not this addon.

When posting via tapatalk, messages are not merged.

Exactly what @ozzy47 said. I don't know how tapatalk works, so I can't take it into considerations. From what I heard, tapatalk isn't that fond to supporting add-on content anyway, so I guess that's the price for using it. Iff adding support is a small effort and someone is able to point out how to do so, I'll add it of course, but I don't really want to work myself into tapatalk to check out if it could be done.
