View Full Version : Reply to PMs without quoting them

There was one thing that I didn't like in vB3 (and it hasn't been changed in vB3.5 ;)): If you plan to reply to a PM you automatically quote the message you reply to. If you have a conversation with one member via PM the message often gets long and confusing.

This product allows you to reply to a message without quoting the message you reply to. I doesn't interfere with the way vBulletin handles the PM reply to your members can select themselfes what they want to do.

As said before, this is a product.. It uses 3 hooks and you need to import only 1 file to have it installed + 1 template edit in order to make it work.


The version I have installed uses a simple phrase like 'reply without quoting' instead of the default vBulletin image. This product however uses the reply_small.gif -> http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/images/buttons/reply_small.gif.
You may change that if you want :)

Already installed this plugin and want to change how it looks? Read this.. If not.. Read the attached instructions ;)
Some members pointed me to this. If you want to disable the normal link which automatically quotes the message and only use my Plugin here's the code for you:

Replace:

<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>

with:

<!--<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 replace everthing you've already added for this hack with this:

<if condition="$show['replylinknoquote']">
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;pmid=$post[pmid]&amp;noquote=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="reply without quoting" 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>


This way you see the link to reply without quoting and the normal link when Plugin is disabled :)

Instructions are updated, now with both methods :)

Enjoy! And please.. click install (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=97365) :)

you gif points to the same gif as the quote one uses. I simply edited the templete code..but you might want to change it.

Yeah as said before.. Iam was not quite sure which one to use because on my community I don't use that image :)

Just tell me if you've found another, better image so that I can update the instruction :)

great hack! what i did was take out the if condition of the quote button and just have it use quote.gif, and then the other use reply_small.gif

Thanks!

Sometimes even the simple things can be great. I wonder why vBulletin doesn't have something like this by default. :)

Is there a way to remove the old reply button that does quote?

MrNase
10-05-2005, 08:55 AM
Yes there is: Just delete the code from the template and it will not be shown :)

MrNase,

That seems simple enough. However I am no coder at all and am not sure what I need to delete. Could you point out that piece of code on the template for me. Thanks

Quick question. Easiest way to change the images used? I'd like to change the wording for both.

Smoothie
01-25-2007, 03:51 PM
^Bump^ Anyone? The reason I ask is because both images have the same name; small_reply.gif. Kinda retarded isn't it?

Keyser S?ze
01-27-2007, 01:34 PM
i changed the quote one in the template to quote.gif, and made a button to match my styles, that to me is the easiest way

vb 3.0 i think had a quote.gif img use that

Anyone know how to accomplish the same thing with the Quote button in the forums like this hack does? Id like to just have a reply button and remove the quote button where the quote button currently is.

Group,

Does anyone know if there are any hacks identical to this one that does the same thing for posts and threads?

Id like to remove the "Quote" button next to each post or thread and replace it with a "Reply" button.

If my members want to quote something, I want them to do it manually by using the "Quote" button in the Vbulletin text editor only.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Doug

I found this hack and it works well for the forums, but it interfers with this hack.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1309158#post1309158

Does anyone know how i can get the two to work with each other? Or have the Reply to pm's without quoting them hack to accomplish both tasks?

Thanks

Doug
