How to Add Line Breaks in PM quickreply
 

this applies to both vb3 and 4

The quick reply box on PMs quotes the prior message. I get many pms where the user just started typing anywhere, making it a hunt and find mission to find what they said.

What I would like to see is a few line breaks and a line that says **** do not type below this line*** to precede the quoted text.

I'm not sure but possibly that is something you could code into the template that handles PM replies.

Yeah, I kinda thought that but - where?

Good question. I looked around a little bit but did not find where it could be put. I'm assuming that you would want it to show above the quoted PM so that members know not to go below that line, correct? Its kinda tricky with the editor being in place there. The code would have to placed some where within either a template that deals with the editor or for the editor or hard coded into the php in the editor. I'm not quite sure where that would go.

Yes, that's my thinking....

Something has to be feeding the editor

Go to your "newpost_quote" template ...

Im also not sure how that would add line breaks

You want to add line breaks before that message? You should be able to do it by adding as many <br/> as you want.

But where? all I have is this

I don't know where to put it in the newpm_quote template and I don't see any indication of where any <br /> would go in there

How about ********* DON'T WRITE ABOVE THIS LINE **********

Then users could type in below it?

Actually hold on, I might have it the way you want.
