Limits on Quotes

[N FUL FX]

Hi everyone. I didn't have any luck searching on this topic because "quote" and "reply" strings are disabled in the search function.

I'm having people who abuse the QUOTE REPLY function on the forum, they use it like a regular reply command. As such, the same stuff is displayed countless times per thread. The same goes for quoting images.

Is there a way to limit the number of characters and disable images totally in the quote fields?

If this thread has come up already please provide a link and accept my apologies.

I'm not good with coding so if you do know what I should do, please provide instructions. Thanks! :)

I just came here to ask this same exact question. I'm gonna try and search to see if there's something to remove the IMG from quotes, just have to find it.

Can anyone help with this? I'm just sick of seeing the same image after someone quotes it - as our other members.

Thanks.

Group,

I am having issues of my members using the Quote featues as well like they feel like they have to use it. And if they do use it they click on quote and submit it with all the text of the post that they are repling to without bothering to remove the excess text that they are not even quoting. I dont mind if they use the quote feature, but I want them to only quote what the heck they are quoting, not the entire post.

I am using Vbulletin 3.6.4, is there anyway to get the quote feature to maybe add just the code without any of the message and let the user copy and past what they want to quote in between the code?

Or is there a way that I can disable the quote buttons from the admin cp? If not, how can I remove the quote button the simpliest way requiring the least amount of code editing?

Thanks

Doug

I got here by searching "excess quote text" and this is sorely needed.

Not only do I have idiots quoting images, they simply refuse to pay attention.

Removing IMG tags is needed as well as limiting the amount of text in the quote.

OR, turning off quotes altogether for SOME users.

Why not simply replace the quote button with a reply button?

[oldengine]

It doesn't appear to be so simple.

The Post Reply button is accompanied with code dealing with whether a thread is closed or not. It also comes from the SHOWTHREAD template instead of the postbit template. Most likely there are code differences.

Unless I'm reading this whole discussion wrong, I thought you could solve the quote problem by not quoting at all in the reply. If someone wishes to reply with a quote, they will have to cut and paste.

In the postbit and postbit_legacy templates...

replace...
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>

with...
<a href="$post[replylink]&noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a>

[oldengine]

You have pointed out what I haven't seen - the forest for the trees or whatever that saying goes.

Apparently, all I need to do is add this code...


<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]&noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a>
</if>


just before...


<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
</if>


And offer BOTH methods to my users! You see, not ALL vBulletin web sites are frequented by savvy vBulletin users. Unfortunately, in my case it is made far easier for the user to click the Quote button than the (missing) Reply button. Now both will be available.

So, where did "&noquote=1" come from? That's the key! Sometimes things can be so simple with a little nudge in the correct direction.

Thank you.

Now, if we had the <if> statement to flag the last post in a thread, we could choose the proper code from above, reply or quote.

How's this?

<!-- Start last post reply Hack -->

<if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]&noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a>

<else />

<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>

</if></if>
