[WMTech] Double Post Merge 1.3.1

[wmtech]

It possible to migrate to https://xenforo.com/community/threads/th-auto-merge-double-posts.140255/ addon
And possible to migrate [DOUBLEPOST] to [automerge] syntax with following SQL-query (required MySQL 8.0! ):

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REGEXP_REPLACE(message, '\\[DOUBLEPOST=([[:digit:]]+)(,[[:digit:]]+)?\\]\\[/DOUBLEPOST\\]', '[automerge]$1[/automerge]') WHERE message LIKE '%[DOUBLEPOST=%';

Keep in mind that the other add-on does not exactly work like our add-on and therefore might not be a 1:1 replacement. You have to be careful with the options to the BB-code.

To get info about switching to the other add-on you have to ask in their thread. We will post migration info only if we will officially support migration to that other add-on.

If you open a support ticket at our site we can give you information about removing the BB-Code of this add-on after upgrading to XF 2.x. So you can at least start freshly with their product.

Hello, I'm using this in a XF 1.x which I will upgrade the next few days. I've a lot of these tags which are appearing in the postings after a test upgrade. Is there a way to get rid of them?

I've found a solution with a bbcode. I don't know how its working, but it works ...

 

[wmtech]

You can either delete the BB-Codes directly in your database (be careful with that!) or simply create a custom BB-code DOUBLEPOST to hide (or custom format) the double post dividers.

Recent versions of our add-on also had a setting to insert no divider BB-code at all.

Licensed users of this product can also get support at our support website https://wmtech.net/.

Thanks! Could you give me an example how the custom BB-code DOUBLEPOST to hide (or custom format) could loook like? I've tried just the tag and Option=yes and as replacement "abc". This makes it disappear. But why?
