Quote Post in PM

=================
Info:
=================

This product adds a new option in user's popup menu "Quote this post in PM to ..."
This option passes to the PM: the username of the post, post id, as well as the post title (if there is one) or thread title (if there is no post title).

Futures of this hack:
- There is option to enable/disable hack.
- The hack is fully translatable.
- The hack updates popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
- The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
- There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
- You can change 'Re: ' for both thread and post PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
- You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
- You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".

From version 3.7.104 this product doesn't use some Boofo's copyrighted code from his hack "Quote Post in PM" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315). without his permission.

- Use version 3.7.104 only with 3.6.8 or greater.

Enjoy!

This hack sometimes is very usefull for forum administrators when they want to point some user to his/her "mistakes" in some post.
You will have to make two click and you will be writing a PM to that user with your notes.

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.0 Release Candidate 4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.99 and greater)

? :(

Makc666

SaltyOnionBalls, why not to upgrade to 3.7.0 Gold?

But in any way if you want it on "3.7.0 Release Candidate 4" version then
open file "quote_post_in_pm_v3-7-104.xml" in Notepad and change:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.99" />
to
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.8" maxversion="3.7.99" />

No.
My product no longer has anything to do with that product either on the part of the code, much less on the part of the functionality and convenience.

You can read the list of futures of this hack in the first post.
None of them are in the product you point to.

I hope you have to understand that most of the product on this forum has some intersects code. Sorry, but vBulletin uses unique variables that all Coders are using in their products.

This doesn't overwrite the 'old' version. Should we disable the old one after installing this one?

Makc666

This doesn't overwrite the 'old' version. Should we disable the old one after installing this one?

ArnyVee, if 'old' version is 3.6.* version, then you have to uninstall 3.6.* version and then install 3.7.* version.
If you already have 3.6.* and 3.7.* version, then uninstall both of them and install 3.7.* version one again. It is the best variant :)
But you canm also uninstall 3.6.* version and then re-install 3.7.* version.

I installed it, it works and I do like it.

It would be cool if you could set it to postbit/postbit_legacy so that you can select a button next to "multi-quote" and have it just open up the quote in a "send new message" box.

Hey Makc666 - you may wanna add the following into your plugin as per THIS THREAD (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173660) so the qpipm_menu template is cached.

Thanx again for sharing ;)

I am trying to add this option to my postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
Next to the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/14.gif https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/15.gif https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/16.gif buttons.

I tried a couple of things, but cant get it to show, Any suggestions?

I installed it, it works and I do like it.

It would be cool if you could set it to postbit/postbit_legacy so that you can select a button next to "multi-quote" and have it just open up the quote in a "send new message" box.

Um - You should be able to simply find in your postbit and/or postbit_legacy template(s):
$template_hook[postbit_controls]

And input directly after it the following from the newly-created qpipm_menu template:
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&u=$post[userid]&postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a>

To use your sendpm.gif button - the code will look more like:
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&u=$post[userid]&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif"></a>

HTH,

I think I will go in another way.
In the next version you will be able to set (turn on) any default title for quoated PMs :)

harlita, saying the truth I really didn't want to add such option in the past.
But...
As there is really not hard to code I will think for this one!
And I think I will use some default vBulletin's button.

If you have a custom templates with out hooks from the lates versions of vBulletin you will have to make template changes manually.
There is a note in ReadMe about how to do so.

A great addition and in my testing, I find I like the purpose of this hack.

Can I ask if the mod only apply to the username popup when viewing a thread or a post?

Right now it shows up wherever the username popup shows up, and its kinda pointless to have that clickable feature while you are currently viewing a PM or something other than a thread or post.

Great mod and appreciate it.

Thanks, smirkley for this note. This is not a right behaviour.
I think I will find an easy way to fix this one.

Dear Makc,

I find this Hack SUPER-useful!!!

However, I need it to be available only on some sections of my board (I want to use it only on the Classifieds sub-forums)

Would you be willing to do some hacking around the code so that we could have some way to define in which sub-forums (IDs) this hack would be available?

(sorry my poor english, as my native language is portuguese...)

Thank you so very much!

Add the following under $globaltemplates[] = 'qpipm_menu';

$globaltemplates[] = 'qpipm_quote';

You need to go to the bottom of the Plugin manager and click Add New Plugin

Then enter the following into each field....

Product - Quote post in PM

Hook Location - cache templates

Title - Quote Post in PM (3)

Execution Order - 5

Plugin PHP Code -

$globaltemplates[] = 'qpipm_menu';
$globaltemplates[] = 'qpipm_quote';

Plugin is Active - Yes

Then click save and all should be done. ;)
