*blush* I just wanted to test the quote box. This is the second reference I've seen to it, but haven't seen the actual box yet.

ETA - I don't think it's changed....But I'm not the most perceptive cookie, either.

Ok, I finally figured out how you did this. (The code I needed is right there in the quote_reply section. DOHH!!!) ;) How did you get it not to extend the line under the url (Post #18) part? With the space there for the tag, I keep getting an extended line one space over. Did I miss something?

Very Nice, you guys are really hacking up this hacked board :)

03-13-2003, 04:30 PM

at boofo: hmm, good question, it works, i don't know why the last space doesn't have a _

Boofo

03-13-2003, 04:35 PM

You must be doing something right and I must be doing something wrong then. Only explanation I can come up with. ;)

if you want to take a look:
this is our quotereply template:$postdate at $posttime $originalposter said this in Post #$postcount (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=$postid#post$postid)
$pagetext

Boofo

03-13-2003, 04:57 PM

This is strange. With your code, I don't get the extended line. But with mine, I do. I noticed you are using postcount. You must have modified the code a bit to get that. Here's how I did it. I get the same as you, but with color and the extended line. ;)

$postdate at $posttime $originalposter posted this in Post#$postid ($bburl/showthread.php?postid=$postid#post$postid):

$pagetext

Thank Chen for the disable tags, huh? ;)

Xenon

03-13-2003, 05:02 PM

yes chens disable works wonders ;)
you're right, the $postcount value comes from a hack :)

your looks good, too :)

Boofo

03-13-2003, 05:12 PM

But it's weird that I get the extended line with my code and not yours. LOL

The postcount is from bira's hack (which I have installed, too). Did you add that code to the quote_reply code, too, then?

Xenon

03-13-2003, 05:18 PM

no, we haven't changed any files for that code above, i also wonder why it works, i think chen has done great there ;)

Boofo

03-13-2003, 05:52 PM

I figured out where I was getting the extended line. If I move the closing color tag in my code to before the [url= tag, then I don't get the extended line. Templates aren't very forgiving at times, it seems. ;)

Thank you, sir, for helping me figure it out. ;)

Erwin

03-13-2003, 06:19 PM

To get the post count in, you need to edit the "postbit" template and add the variable to the URL for the quote button. :)

Kars10

03-13-2003, 06:32 PM

For me the postcount dosent work. I have the postcount and direct link hack installed. In Postbit the variable $postcount works but in my quotereply not...this is strange! :confused:

You totally lost me here. I just used postid in the quote_reply and it worked. Where and how would you add it to the quote button and what would you use for the line in the quote_reply then? ;)

Erwin

03-13-2003, 06:38 PM

Like I said, the $postcount variable does NOT work immediately.

You need to edit your Quote button link in postbit, and add this to the end of the Quote button URL:

&postcount=$postcount

OR

&postcount=$post[postcount]

Depending on what you use as the postcount variable in your postbit. This way the variable is send to the quote reply template.

:)

Boofo

03-13-2003, 06:42 PM

Ahhh, I see. But if you just use $postid where you have $postcount, you wouldn't need to edit the quote button line at all. ;)

Kars10

03-13-2003, 07:09 PM

Works like a charm now!!
Thank you Erwin!! :)

Xenon

damn, that was a real good idea Erwin :)

i see you are the template specialist of us two :)
so we will have a very good partnership here, i do most file stuff and you most template stuff :)

really good work :)

Boofo

03-13-2003, 07:37 PM

Excellent work, Erwin, but postid would have done the same thing. ;)

Xenon

03-13-2003, 09:27 PM

but postnumber of a thread looks better ;)

Boofo

03-13-2003, 09:30 PM

But when it is processed, the information is all the same. ;)

LOL! I'm no template expert, but when you want to avoid hacking PHP files because of vB3 coming up, you find ways of doing things without hacking. :)

Erwin i add &postcount=$post[postcount] in postbit template just like u say..

and i use this [ url="$bburl/showthread.php?postid=$postid#post$postid"]#$post[postcount][/ url] in my quotereply template but when i test it it always show
http://www.xx.com/..... not #postnumber like here..

so where do i wrong??

Kars10

03-14-2003, 10:12 AM

@ Squawell, use only $postcount not $post[postcount].
This "[ ]" does not work in quotereply!! ;)

Put a space between the $postcount variable and [/url] tag

And use $postcount, not $post[postcount] like the previous poster said.

Boofo

I understand what postcount does now. It returns the postcount of the thread, not the actual message number. I like this way better that the postid way. Sorry for the confusion. ;)
