Well, I originally had multi-quote on my test board, but it seemed a tad too confusing for my novice users, but this is pretty simple. I might just go ahead and install this bad boy.

Great idea. I'm definitely going to install this when I upgrade my forum.

Is there anyway to automatically add it to the quotes made by Quick Reply?

Very interesting....
Taffy, I just wanted to share with you that my mother's actual birth name is Taffy. Sorry to be off topic!

Anyway, it works pretty nice. I would be interested in finding out how to add functionality to quick reply.

well, she was drunk. but if you do, promise you'll let us know though, ok? :D

Andreas

07-05-2005, 11:46 PM

Sure ;) But I don't think it will happen any time soon, didn't happen for 25 years so far.

Bad Bunny

07-06-2005, 01:13 AM

Is there a reason for that? Like maybe you like the other sex? Or you are a monk? All perfectly ok answers. Just curious.

Andreas

07-06-2005, 01:40 AM

LOL, this is getting way OT.
Surely there is a reason, but I don't really know.
I am almost 100% sure that I am heterosexual, and I am definitly not a monk :)

I have had something like this running on my forum for years (3.0.7)

Not only does it have a 'snapback' style arrow, but the post number as well, and that is also a link.

FASherman

08-29-2005, 04:00 PM

No, not yet.
But I'll add support for this :)
Any update on this?

Can this work when we click the quick reply too? That'd be cool!

Thanks for this, I've got it installed and working on the gold release. It would be great if this worked with multi-quote, if multiquote has one problem it’s that it can be hard to locate in a long thread where a quote came from.

I had to do a reinstall of vbul 3.5 Gold board and I've reinstalled this but it seems now to be just linking back to the thread and not the specific post id, i.e. the link address will be something like: http://myforums/showthread.php?p=1205677#1205677 .

Andreas

10-02-2005, 07:55 PM

Hmm, should work fine on Gold but i'll test it.

Darat

It may be a browser issue, it appears to work fine in IE 6 but not Opera 8... strange.

Can you check the HTML source, eg. the href attribute of the link?

Hi I deleted all the old plugins, imported the xml and while it still works if I use "quote" it doesn't work in quick reply? Any suggestions?

Are you sure you have Version 1.0.1 installed?

im sure its whatever version was posted yesterday :p

10-07-2005, 11:05 PM

Then I got no clue how this could still happen.
Feel free to send me a PM with an ACP login and i'll take a look at it.
Otherwise I am unable to help you, sorry.

Hi KirbyDE, really nice addon!

Does this work together with your multiquote plugin?

BTW everything works fine but the image doesn't show, instead I see "view original" link.

This hack may get error with Unicode characters.

For example, I try to Quote of Username contains character á then this character will return in safe string is: á, notice for the semi-colon (;), so this hack will misunderstand that every character after that will be the postid, and it will parse this quote title and get in error (both link and the username are incorrect).

Can you show me how to using orther character instead of semi-colon (;) or any fixed update ?

Thanks for your hack

Hi KirbyDE, really nice addon!

I'd love to install this, if it would work (automatically :) ) with Multiquote.... would be nice if it worked alongside Collapsible Quotes (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106878) too.

Looks as if this hack will be obsolete as soon as vB 3.6 goes out on public release: it contains the feature built in, as can been seen and tested on vbulletin.com, which has it running at present in pre-beta release.

Inclusion as core in a version of vB is the ultimate sign of a good hack: so useful that it's brought into the main system -- so kudos for providing us with it.

Boofo

06-03-2006, 09:14 PM

Plus the fact that the author of this hack is now a Dev doesn't hurt. ;)

peterska2

06-03-2006, 09:17 PM

I wonder if the 3.6 version will work right with the /me code? This version doesn't play nice with it at all.

COBRAws

01-27-2007, 04:32 PM

Just a note: This hack is not needed in 3.6 since its already built in.
