Quick Reply Multiquote

[Xenon]

This Modification allows users to highlight text in user's posts and after clicking the QR-icon it will get entered into the qr-form surrounded by quote tags When no text is highlighted, the QR icon will work as it did before.

You can see a demo version on vb.org already :)

Thx to EvilS1 for the IE-JS code :)

Notice: the .js Files are cached by most browsers, so if you installed the hack, and don't notice a change, do a hard refresh to download the newest version from the server.

Notice: The hack is designed to work with normal text boxes, right now the wysiwyg editor is not supported.

nice little addon ...

a few things that could be improved.... (here on vb.org)
1. there is no quick reply button on firstpostid
2. anchor has been removed or it is not working as it should (firefox) ... FYI: the default quick reply button takes you to the quick reply

[SnowBot]

nice little addon ...

nice one :)

[floleb7]

very nice i'll install very soon

only limitation : it doesn't keep smily in quote

[floleb7]

another one : url are keeping as url but as txt

[Erwin]

This way too cool. :) Nice Stefan.

[HiDeo]

Thanks

/me clicks install

[Xenon]

@floleb: i know, but that's not so easy to change as it's working on the output and not on the post's search (JS hack, not php hack) so i think that will stay as it is

2. anchor has been removed or it is not working as it should (firefox) ... FYI: the default quick reply button takes you to the quick reply
i think i don't get you right now?

[nexialys]

princeton is relating to the fact that the original feature focus the cluster to the quick reply box, that's the goal of the feature...

your hack (Xenon) is not shooting us to the quickreply box... (htmlwindow.focus()...)

[Xenon]

well, as i said in site feedback that's by design

if you want to quote more than one line in a post it's annoying to alway scroll back

it's just shooting directly to the qr box if no text is highlighted :)

[heynurse]

Great Hack! Although, I cannot seem to be able to get it to work, I have adsense code displaying above the quick reply box, I wonder if that has something to do with it?

All that happens when I highlight the text in a post, and click the quickreply button, is it scolls down to the quick reply box, but does nothing is entered into the Quick reply box. any ideas?

[deathemperor]

this is super cool, I was always thinking of this and now it comes true.

/me clicks installed

[Princeton]

It's always good to give some form of feedback.
With short threads, there's no problem. The user will "see" the quotes in the quickreply but with long threads there is nothing telling me that everything is working as it should.

Again, with long threads and as a user of site, I like to be directed to the quick reply on onclick rather than having to scroll. However, as a STAFF, I see how it would be beneficial to NOT direct user to quick reply on onclick.

If I had to choose, I would opt to make things easier for the user.

Great hack!!

[Boofo]

Nice one, Stefan! ;)

EDIT: For some reason this isn't working for me. I am still using RC3. Would that have anything to do with it? When I highlight text and hit the buitton, the text does not get entered into the Quick Reply Box. :(

[Lethal]

OMG sweet, thank you!!!!!

[Lethal]

whatever happened to the multiple quote hack from 2.x? the one where you can click on a check box for each post you want to quote. wouldn't that be easy to do also?

[Lethal]

oh I did find one but I think I might like xenons better ;)

Running 3.0.4 and same problem for me also.

[Erwin]

Boofo, it's time to upgrade to 3.0.4. :) Or at least, use the 3.0.4 init.php to plug a potential security hole.

I'll be installing this one at my own forums soon.

I know, I know. But RC3 is running so well for me I hate to mess anything up. LOL

I do all the sercurity updates on every upgrade so I am covered on that part of it anyways. ;)

[Xenon]

@heynurse: hmm, no idea, do you have 3.0.3 or a different version?
also did you do a total refresh, as sometimes the browser holds an old cache of the .js files

that goes to you bob as well ;)

@princeton: yeah, you have a point. that's why i left the part, when nothing is selected then the old jump will apply on click :)

[Xenon]

@SnowBot: look at my post above, it may just be an old cache, i think i should update the first post ;)

[sabret00the]

well this is installed, works a treat in FF (standard editor) just not in IE (with WYSIWYG not checked other editors) :(

but thank you stefan, i really appreciate this release :)

[moethelawn]

Running 3.0.4 and it works like a charm :)

Thanks Xenon

[shadiguy1]

3.0.3 and not working for me either.

[Boofo]

I got it working on my site. It turns out that it doesn't work with the WYSIWYG editor there for some reason. It works as it is supposed to with the others editors. ;)

[Xenon]

yep, it's designed to work with the normal editors (did i say that i hate wysiwyg ^^)

i may look at the wysiwyg part maybe :)

You might want to add that it only works with the normal editors in your first post so others will know what to do if it doesn't seem to work at first for them. ;)

you're right bob

No. Different hack.

hmm, well I can't seem to get it to do anything with 3.0.5...?
I must be missing something

[catocom2]

ah, I found "my" problem.
I'm using postbit_legacy, so I had to put it in there also.

Works great, Thanks!

Xenon, Thanks again for this hack, very clever and simple to install :)

[Guy G]

Its a treat.

[fridayweb]

I've got it working on 3.0.5, but it seems to be hit and miss? Some posts I can highlight and hit the quick reply button and it does exactly what it should, others it quotes it and takes me to the full reply page. I'm not exactly sure what could be doing that...

I'll give it some time and see if it works out its kinks! :)

[Xenon]

hmm, could be a buggy browser cache, sounds like it doesn't fully load the js file sometimes...

as you can see here on vb.org it works good normally

[Lottis]

It wont work any place with my place. : (

hmm, is there anyway u can modify the hack 'multiquote' to work with 3.0.6 please cause thats what more people could use and the creator isn't really giving too much support :(

[Xenon]

i don't manipulate other peoples hack, sorry

@Lottis: have you uploded everytzhing correctly?
have you done the refresh of the browsercache?

[Deviant++]

any possibility of making a new one in that way.. cause ipb migrators find the mod useful :(

it dosn't work on anything 3.0.5 +

[Xenon]

you have to ask in that support thread

maybe someone else can post a fix for that hack.

I don't have the time to work on other hacks, i don't need myself.

[Nick0r]

woah amazing hack, it's so handy when you want to address lots of people in 1 post!

[catocom2]

I have both installed on 3.0.6 and they work fine... :ermm: ??

didn't work on lots of other people's stuff

please don't talk in this thread about another hack.

if another hack has bugs, please discuss the in the supportthread of that specific hack, thx.

[EvilHawk]

Works fine on 3.0.6 !

[M1th]

Xenon, I'm not sure whether it's a firefox bug or not, but the hack doesnt seem to work on the latest nighly build. :)

Anyone else having this problem?

i dont want users quoting the entire page.

[Xenon]

erm?

sorry i don't get it.

it's quoted what is highlighted, and nothing more.

@wysiwyg: sorry nothing new right now, i'm currently were busy in RL, and don't find enough time to update my hacks :(

[theArchitect]

Nice hack. It is just a shame that it doesn't work with the other multi-quote hack on here.

When I installed yours it gives me a new reply page instead of just quoting the selected text in the Quick Reply box.

Ok. I am clearly doing something wrong.

I have coped the code into the .js file and changed the code in the postbit template. But now when I click on the Quick Reply nothing happens. I doesn't even put the cursor in the QR box. The url generated is http://www.mysite.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=22479

I have obviously got something very wrong, but can't work out what it is.

this doesn't work if you have quick reply set to not work unless the qr button is pressed (for threaded and hybrid users). just fyi.

[theArchitect]

Thanks for the suggestion. But I have tried setting that to "no" and clicking the QR button still does nothing.

[boeserwolf]

Dear Xenon,

I have a question about translating your hack:

Some guys from vbulletin-germany.com built up a community called : vBHacks
(URL: http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum/index.php?)

After the verification that you own a license, you may download hacks there.

I am very interested in this Hack because I came from WBB, and I miss this feature in vB 3.

Unfortunately there exists no german hack for this feature, so I would like to translate your hack to german language if that is okay for you.

I would then also like to post this Hack in the vbhack community for license owners.


And sorry for my english, but as I live in Austria, I am not a native speaker.


Yours


Markus

when username has ' (like it'sme ) it display error even you didn't click.

Someone fix it please, I'm too lazy ^^

Ich finde den hack sehr nützlich speziell weil er für meine Seite sehr viel bringen würde.

Is it possible to modify this so that "Quote message in reply" is not automatically checked when used without selecting any text?

Also, noonespecial mentioned that the vb setting "Require Click for Quick Reply" must be off for this to work, and that seems to be true. Is there any way around that?

[zetetic]

Is it possible to modify this so that "Quote message in reply" is not automatically checked when used without selecting any text?
I fixed this by changing:

else if (document.vbform.qr_message.value == "")
{
document.vbform.qr_quickreply.checked = 'checked';
return qr(postid);
}

To:

else if (document.vbform.qr_message.value == "")
{
document.vbform.qr_quickreply.checked = '';
return qr(postid);
}

That seems to work fine.

I had the same problem with my hack. Luckily, there was a user with apostrophes in his name, so I fixed it before I released it. ;) addcslashes did the trick for me.

I just found this problem. There's no error, but when the guy with an apostrophe in his name clicks the quick reply button it opens the full editor. How exactly did you fix that?

[zetetic]

Bump.

Hey Xenon,

Any chance of fixing this for people with apostrophes in their username and/or WYSIWYG editor? (I've also had users say it doesn't work in Safari or Maxthon, but that's less important).

[Xenon]

i cannot test every browser ;)

actually, i didn't find the time yet to do bugfixing, as i am very busy these weeks...

I totally understand it's low on your priority list, I just thought I'd let you know someone out there is hoping for an eventual fix. :)

[TwinsForMe]

It seems to conflict with the /me hack. Is there a way for both to be used?

[Xenon]

erm, there is no conflict between those two hacks.

as you can see on vb.org both are working perfectly together

[TwinsForMe]

When someone uses quick-reply multiquote on a quote that has a /me in it, it reverts to "/me".

Let me go get a screenshot.

[Xenon]

nope, the name stayes as it should.

[TwinsForMe]

Sorry. It isn't your multi-quote hack. It's the other one.

I figured out that he means he fixed that problem in his own hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76594), not this one. I looked at his but couldn't figure out how what he did could be applied to this one, though. :(

[zetetic]

Okay I'm not a skilled coder but here's the workaround I came up with for users who have apostrophes in their names:

Edit functions_showthread.php:

Find:

// do posts from ignored users

Add Above:

$post['qrusername'] = addslashes($post['username']);

Then edit the postbit template:

Find:

onclick="return doMultiQuote('$post[username]',

Replace with:

onclick="return doMultiQuote('$post[qrusername]',

This works for me, but use at your own risk. :)

Edited to add: Don't forget to change legacy_postbit too, if you give your users the option to use it. I always forget that. :D

On a sidenote, I just install this on 3.0.7 and it works fine. Just one question, I got from reading the previous pages. I saw too many requests for porting this to the WYSIWYG editor. Do you guys get WYSIWIG in the Quck Reply? And if you do, how did you do it? I am using WYSIWYG in the normal reply etc, but I didn't know you can have it in the QR as well.

[sv1cec]

The script does not work in Firefox 1.5, the quoted text is NOT shown in the Quick Reply window. I went back to 1.0.7, due to that, and some other issues I found on Firefox 1.5.x.x.

Any help from the author?

[Xenon]

nope, sorry didn't find a fix for that FF bug yet.

i just hope they will fix it, as i found several other scripts with the same problem, but no fix..

[sv1cec]

Xenon, I know this is a very old hack, and you have probably advanced to later versions of vB, but I am still using 3.0.xx in my site and I do not plan to upgrade any more. Since this is one of the hacks we are using heavily, and since this was brought up in a recent discussion, I have a question for you.

When clicking on the QR icon, without selecting any text, the whole post in which the icon was, is quoted in your reply. Would it be possible, in this case, to show the quoted text in the QR box, just like it does when you have selected some text? I am not good with Javascript so there is nothing much I can do.

Many thanks
