[TheBlackPoet]

[projectego]

Cool hack! Thanks for sharing. :)

[DJ XtAzY]

awesome! This is better than my hack! No fileedits!! This should be default in vb software. I cant believe they would left this out after so many requests.

[dope15gd]

[FreshFroot]

It's standard for PMs, but not posts.

[Taipa]

Sweet!

I love how you added the option to limit the number of nested quotes - the unregulated system used in PM quotes can make for some reeeeeeeeally long posts.

[pauloo]

Very nice !

oh!!!!!!

[Sofia]

Thanks a lot, Dismounted :)

[testebr]

Very useful, thanks a lot!

I want this resource by default in next vbulletin build.

[Couch]

Thanks a lot for this. Have been looking for this hack. :up:

[Lifesupporters]

This is a great addon on it's own but this feature makes it even better.

Nice work!

Installed.

[Qwest]

Installed thanks.

[yoyoyoyo]

excellent! thanks

[cheat-master30]

I really wanted/needed this, so thanks!

[Amiga Harrison]

Great!

Up until now I've been doing a simple manual file edit to add this functionality to the forum, using the mod found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124334, and this has required me to re-edit the file each time the forum is updated. Having it as a plugin makes it just that little bit easier and the added admin settings is useful to.

Thank you.

[jeriddian]

An excellent addition for my board, which has always been a required feature. Many Thanks. One question however.....

All nested quotes are automatically put into italics. Can that be undone to go back to normal text? Thanks!

[McMendo]

Wasn't it default in older versions of vb? I've missed this feature but.. couldn't it go with a button to allow the choice of normal quoting and nested quoting?

I don't think many forums would want it to be default. The average forum poster quotes more than needed as it is and all that would do would be to increase the size of the database.

[McMendo]

You misunderstood it. I'm not suggesting that it should be default in vbulletin.

What I'm saying is that this modification should be for a small button next to the quote button (like the multi-quote button https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/09/10.gif ), to allow it as a choice when quoting a post.

That only requires changing the bbcode_quote template.

I don't have the time to design and create a new button, if you want to, feel free to.

[McMendo]

I don't have the time to design and create a new button, if you want to, feel free to.That's not a problem, if you are going to write the code. :)

[Dismounted]

Yeah, I'll write the code.

[McMendo]

That's very kind of you. I often find myself opening posts with the quote function to copy the quoted text and then paste it on another quoted post, and even arranging it.

Thank You.

[cheat-master30]

Is there a way to stop it breaking the forum layout past a certain number of quotes?

[fn9mm]

isn't this standard in 368 ?
nothing changes in my forum anyway, ... don't get it,

---------
where could i get the new style qoutes ? my quotes are still in those default (ugly) grey squares, i'd like the quote style like in this thead
EDIT Found this here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=164890&highlight=quote)
---------

[TigerWare]

isn't this standard in 368 ?

No. Only PM's have this feature by default. On the forum, if you quote a message that contains a quote, the quote will not appear in your reply. This modification allows you to fix that annoyance.

[fn9mm]

strange, in my VB it does show all the quotes see here (http://www.abforum.be/showthread.php?p=23243#post23243)
the plugin is now disabled,...

[TigerWare]

Which means you have either installed this modification or another that does the same job.

[fn9mm]

uninstalled this and still have nested quotes
don't which other mod could cause this
never mind, thx for support anyway

[KURTZ]

runs onto 3.7.x?

[Dismounted]

I don't know as I have not run it on 3.7 myself.

[baymortgage99]

Nested Posts - Pretty smart idea

[Amiga Harrison]

runs onto 3.7.x?

I can confirm that it works perfectly well in 3.7.0 Gold :)

Was anything ever done about having the code allow regular quoting with one button and nested quoting with another? I love this mod, but some of my users will hit quote and want to remove the second quote and they goof and it ends up a mess. I'd love to have two buttons - one for regular quoting and the other for nested quoting. (I don't use standard vb buttons, so I can make my own for my site - perhaps have the new code a download option for those who have the two buttons?)

[Dismounted]

You could probably check for an extra GET parameter (from the button) in the code to see if it should nest or not.

[infinityloop]

It's standard for PMs, but not posts.
which i will never, ever understand.....
no clue why vbulletin is coded that way. i once filed a bugreport about this, but it was rejected..... :confused:

regarding this modification, THANKS!
i like it! :)

[Artes_Marciales]

Nice mod!
**Installed**

[Artes_Marciales]

How to Disable [IMG] In [QUOTE] Tags?? : (

[Dismounted]

That is not one of the goals of this modification - that is another "subject" entirely.

[Artes_Marciales]

I understand, but they did not show the images in the quotes and after installing his mod indeed and at my forums they show again...
Else I find a solution I will have to his mod uninstall : (

[Dismounted]

This modification will implement normal vBulletin behaviour, and will not change that. It only makes sure it doesn't strip quotes.

[drsli]

Works perfectly on my 3.72 board! Thank you very much for this important and useful enhancement. I came across the need after a couple of months, when I wanted to citate myself and the replier to my post together. A riddle, that it took so long to discover this lack and that would be an important addition to a next vb-release indeed. Thanks again! :)

[Mrdby]

still works for 3.7.3

[Keesa]

Oh, I hope this keeps working because the person who wrote the one for 3.7 does not include a limit on nested quotes.... it must be limited or the board members go crazy quoting "for fun"

[MyraB]

One of the best add-ons ever. You've made my forum members very happy. Thanks!

[jgs007]

seems to work fine on 3.8 also.

[cbehan]

I have this add-on running in 3.8 and my users love it.

I'm planning on moving to 4.0 and I have the following issue:

When I open "new Article" in the CMS, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare nested_quotes() (previously declared in /home/tippingp/public_html/vb4test/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code:3) in /home/tippingp/public_html/vb4test/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code on line 3

Can anyone help?

[Amiga Harrison]

It works fine for me with vB4.03. I've tested nested quote posting the forum and that works perfectly, and also just tested creating a new article in the vBCMS and had no errors.

This was already installed when I upgraded from vB3.8.4 to vB4.0.3. And I've had it installed and working since vB3.6.4.

You might be running another plugin/product that is causing this error message, rather than nested quotes itself. Have you tried disabling nested quotes and seeing if the error still happens?

[jeffcoast]

Installed on 4.0.6 with no problems.
