Here's a screenshot to show how the "Quote Selection" add on works.

Teh add-on works great except when i submit, the quote doesn't say "ORIGINALLY POSTED BY SO AND SO". If that cold be resolved, it would be great.

nice
Installed :D

The add-on will only add quote tags to selected text.

The Quick Quote hack will show the original poster's username, but not the time.

If you want it to show the time, in the "showthread_quickquote" template just change this:

Originally posted by $post[username]

to this

Originally posted by $post[username] at $post[posttime]

There's some differences in there with the code etc, so could you try and figure it out and then post the details for that reply box please

I have no way to test this since I don't use the standalone version, but try this:

GREAT Hack!

Just installed flawlessly and tested on 2.3.0.

Thanks, that worked

Ok when I try and add a smilie as well from my quick reply, it doesn't put it into the quick reply box anymore...it just jumps to the top of the page

If you have clickable smilies with your Quick Reply you will need to do the following if you want to use the Quick Quote add-on:

Find and replace ALL occurrences of "vbform" with "post" in the following places:

vbcode.js
newreply template
newthread template
vbcode_popup_smilies template

That should fix it.
