Boofo: the edit quote feature will be made, but just not _yet_. I can't make that in 10 minutes, my knowledge on vB's structure is far too limited for that, so it'll take time. And since my UQH is pretty much entirely finished, I'm gonna let it coincide with that. Just be patient and use phpMyAdmin for the time being :p

Lesane, that's what I said in the first post already, but then came the people 'attacking' me cos you already made a quote hack. I'm in the defense here, y'know. I can drop the subject easily if other people will stop coming in here going "bah, Lesane already made this, blah blah blah, I'm using Lesane's, blah blah blah". That annoys me, I don't care who uses whose hack, I made this available for people to have a choice and because I was feeling very generous (sharing things of my new board before my board itself is done yet, successfully diminishing the `impressiveness` by a bit...). I just don't like to be talked down for that, I get in my rather hot-tempered debating stance then. :)
(no hard feelings, right? :))

I fully understand but i'm not the one that's attacking you and/or your hack so it's not really fair if you attack my hack. Attack those people that attacks you instead of attacking an innocent hacker ;):D

Yeah but those bastards (;)) didn't make any hacks (and if so, I ain't using 'm nor even know about 'm). :p

;)

Call me ethical or something but it seems that Lesane already made the hack and most of us like it...people usually check to see if a hack has already been done so we don't have 8,000 versions of the same hack floating around.

It looked to me like you were trying to 'one up' him while you where replying to your thread...if not, cool...

Thank you CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. That was said only 5 times already, we really needed to be told about it again. :rolleyes:

Seriously, you deserved this slander, my first post already says that I know Lesane made a quote hack, and it also says that this one is different and therefore will appear to a different audience. Also, this hack will soon be joined up with a much bigger, comprehensive hack that has features Lesane's doesn't have (because he doesn't want them, and I needed it for my own board so... :)) so people will have even more options to choose from, pretty soon. It's totally not "the same hack" - there's several very distinct, different features. And our hacks combined provide the vB-community with a whole set of options, successfully making sure that if they want SOME sort of quote hack, they will be able to get it, easily. :)

Calm down, Mr. Ad Hominem...I was just clarifying myself.

This post is good, now u attack that person instead of mine hack. Thumbs up. j/p ;):D

Kurafire,

You are right, it looks as though I will have to do some editing somehow. :-) What do I do for the quotes who don't have a quoter (because I'm not sure who originally said them)? How would I index those?

Let em see if I get this right...I only need to use letters if I am going to index them, right? If I enter them without letters, they will display randomly and just fine? Am I close? :)

Boofo: if you don't know who said a certain quote, use

Unknown

as the name, and

U

as the letter.
(and later on, if you find out who said the quote, you edit it again :))

And no, if you don't enter a Letter, those quotes won't be listed at all in the letter-specific index, in the Quotes List hack. They will only display in your header (or wherever you've placed them) and in the Quotes List when searching, or looking at it in default view. But not when browsing the list through letters, so you really ought to set a Letter entry for EVERY quote in your database.

Consistency is the key to success :)

Ok, I understand now. But I CAN use the same letter over and over for different quotes right? It will just index those quotes under that letter, right? (E-gad, I think I might be catching on. DOH!!!) :)

I have been putting a letter in for each quote. I've just been doing it with the first letter the quote started with is all. And thanks for a great hack! Exactly what I was looking for. :)
