Quote Post in PM
 

Quote Post in PM

=================
Info:
=================

This product adds a new option in user's popup menu "Quote this post in PM to ..."
This option passes to the PM: the username of the post, post id, as well as the post title (if there is one) or thread title (if there is no post title).

Futures of this hack:
- There is option to enable/disable hack.
- The hack is fully translatable.
- The hack updates popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
- The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
- There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
- You can change 'Re: ' for both thread and post PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
- You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
- You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".

From version 1.0.4 this product doesn't use some Boofo's copyrighted code from his hack "Quote Post in PM" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315). without his permission.

- As there was a bug introduced in vBulletin 3.6.7 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=22069) version 1.0.0 has some "special" code to override that bug. In version 1.0.1 this code was removed.
- Use version 1.0.4 only with 3.6.8 or greater.

Enjoy!

Nice idea! We just need the file to be uploaded now... ;)

Wow! Thanks for the release. :D

You should upload your files the same time u open a thread otherwise your thread just gets booted.

I wanted to get thread id for my personal notes which is included in archive.

Nice update, I was just looking at reinstalling the old one a few days ago.

Great! Installed.

Excellent hack, works perfectly with 3.62 even if as min. version was 3.66 specified. :up:
But I had to turn off the template hook ;)

Installed. Love it!

This is awesome, but I would only like certain usergroups to use it eg. staff

Could you add permissions in it as well?

Thanks.

I don't see any reason for this one.
If user/group is allowed to send PM, he will be able to see/use that link.
If no - he will not be able to see/use that link.

This product is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions

Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Private Message Permissions
Maximum Stored Messages:
If you set this to 0 users from this usergroup will not be able to use private messaging.

Seems only to work on my vB 3.6.7PL1 default skin. I cant get it to work with any of my custom skins. :(

This product looks for default vBulletin hook:
$template_hook['postbit_user_popup']
which is placed in postbit and postbit_legacy

If you don't have one in your custom skins you can put this one in postbit and postbit_legace manually.
Read in file Read_Me.txt from archive section:
=============
Notes:
=============

If you are referring to adding $qpipm to postbit and postbit_legacy in my custom skins, I did that before posting the first time. It does not work.

$qpipm works fine both for postbit and postbit_legacy templates with "Update popup menu automatically" set to "No".
I tested this one on several forum with different skins/templates for postbit and postbit_legacy.

My bad :erm: I overlooked Set "Update popup menu automatically" to "No".

Hack working fine now on all skins. :) *Installed*

Great! thnkes

Installed.

Love this thing to death! lol ... I always wanted something like this (I am definitely gonna use this a lot). Installed and working like a charm on vB 3.6.8!

v1.0.1 - 01.08.2007
- Just removed the code which is not needed any more if you have vBulletin 3.6.8 or greater
Use version 1.0.1 only with 3.6.8 or greater.

v1.0.0 will also work with 3.6.8, but I recommend to update to v1.0.1
Update 1.0.1 is only conneted with BUG introduced in vBulletin 3.6.7 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=22069) which was fixed in vBulletin 3.6.8

Awesome, installed/upgraded to v1.0.1 as I am running vB 3.6.8 :up:

Thank you Maxim

Install

I've installed this, and I like it quite a bit. Just one minor adjustment is due. The phrase qpipm_quote_post_in_pm should be adjusted to allow for translating. Not all languages are going to put the username at the end of the sentence, so the phrase should be:

Instead of


And close the <phrase> tag in the template:

From this:

To this:

And maybe I've got OCD, but I'd rather see you use $vbphrase[reply_prefix] instead of creating two new phrases qpipm_re_post and qpipm_re_thread.

Great Thanks!

Very handy..espcially for pointing out post infractions to bad member!

Easy to install, thanks. :)

Fixed this one.
Thanks.

No. I made two new phrases "qpipm_re_post" and "qpipm_re_thread" specially. As, for example, I want to see different PMs' titles for quoted posts (threads) with titles and quoted posts without titles.

Err, do I need to reinstall this now? :)

I suggest you to install 1.0.2 over 1.0.1.
If you use not only English on your forums you will have to update phrase "qpipm_quote_post_in_pm".

I think this will come in handy for me and my site!
thank you :)

Thanks! :)

I have installed the mod and I see nothing for this in the drop down in 3.6.8. Does this require a new post to work? or will it begin working with all posts? I suspect the later. Perhaps I have an issue in one of the templates as another mod I have works on the user profile page but also not in this dropdown from the thread and username. I have no error showing though. p.s. my forum is www.physiobob.com/forum

perfphysio your vB Version: VB 3.6.2 doesn't have Hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]
Use the manual steps described in Read_Me.txt

Could this mod be in the form of a "Quote PM" button to the left of the "Quote" button, instead of the drop-down menu?

I think that I've seen it in some forum.

For those of you who feel like they have set everything up properly but it "does not work", I just tested with vB 3.7.0 beta3 and it worked after I adjusted the usergroup settings related to private message permissions. Make sure that "Maximum Stored Messages:" is set to a positive value, and that current usergroup is allowed to use the PM system.

Great hack!

Yes, you can do so.

1. Install the product only
2. In product options set "Update popup menu automatically" to "No".
3. Open template qpipm_menu
   
   Code:

   ---

           <if condition="$show['pmlink']">
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>
        </if>

   ---

4. Modify this part of template how you need it
   
   Code:

   ---

                   <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>

   ---

5. Save the template
6. Add $qpipm where you need to the left of the "Quote" button

In other words you have

To find in templates postbit && postbit_legacy the code:
Add before $qpipm

Change template qpipm_menu to something like this one:
Don't forget to upload you new button and give it the proper name in code above.
I highlighted it above your_new_button_here.gif

Thanks.

Good stuff, works for me! :)

I understand why somebody wants to use that function only with stuff-usergroups. I have the same wish.
Stuff-Users need the possibility to send a pm to a member, perhaps because they will delete the post.
Non-stuff-users, in my eyes, shouldn't have more possibilities to communicate with pm's.
If they are able to use this hack, then they will correspond a lot of thing with pm's and not in the forums. And that's not what I want to push with such an elegant function to do so.

Once again - this product is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions.

Ok. I will write an option that some Group with ID 7 will not see that link for "Quote Post in PM" and will not be able to use that link manually.

But that Group with ID 7 will be able to:
1. Copy that post in browser.
2. Start a New Private Message
3. Past the text in Private Message
4. And send it.

And what?

This product "Quote Post in PM" only helps to generate a New Private Message.
All other stuff is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions.

P.S. I will think on the option not to show that link for "Quote Post in PM" and will not be able for them to use that link manually.
But I really can't understand how this one will solve your problem.
