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 *username*".
This option passes to new personal message (PM): post's text, 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).
It can also add image-link to 'postbit' and 'postbit_legacy' templates.
And even replace in popup menu the URL and the phrase for option "Send a private message to *username*" with its own phrase.

Futures of this hack:

There is option to enable/disable hack.
The hack is fully translatable.
The hack can update popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
The hack can update postbit and postbit_legacy templates automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_controls]. You can disable this one.
The hack can replace in popup menu the URL and the phrase for "Send a private message to" option with its own.
The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
You can change 'Re: ' for both threads' and posts' PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in postbit by using "$qpipm_postbit". Read "Notes:" below.
You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".
You can set your own PM's title for both threads' and posts' PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_own_title_thread' and 'qpipm_own_title_post'.
Option "Use Post's Number in PM's Title". Setting this to "Yes" will use post's number instead of thread's or post's title in PM's title field where avaliable.
Option "Use Thread's Title even if there is Post's Title". Setting this to "Yes" will always fill the new PM's title field with thread's title, even if there is post's title.
Option "Trim Post's Text" allows you to trim the post's text been quoted to new PM.
And other great options.

Use this version only with 3.8.0 or greater.

Enjoy!

Replace with:

PHP Code:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.8" maxversion="3.8.99" />

PERFECT!!! :p :up:

I was just looking for this hack for soooo long...!

(I mean, I prefer the button instead of the popup menu...!

JUST PERFECT! :p :up: :up:

I'm getting the double in the popup menu. Yes I did check the templates for $qpipm_postbit, and $qpipm and they were not there. TIA.

On Edit:

Both the pervious version and this new version were installed. So, this product does not write over the old version rather it add this version.

Hi,
i'm using on 3.81 your previous version,
for the upgrade, i have need to uninstall the previous one or i can upgrade simply over the old one from Admincp/product & plugin than adding the check on "overwrite"?

That is why I wrote in the first post:
=================
How to Update:
=================

Any version -> v3.8.105

Write down your settings for this product in "AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Quote Post in PM"
Uninstall old version
Import the product
Set your settings back

I think a good idea would also be to first install the upgrade then uninstall the older version. Usually with uninstalls all the settings get erased then everything has to be reset.

good work man .. also i see this hack in ASP forums for a long time and i hoped to see in vBulletin

thanks too much

good work, thank you

installed

thnx works fine for me :D

great mod, this is anything thing that should be built into vb :)

As Vitaly PMed me and explained what he wanted in his message I have released the new version. :)

Installed!
Working OK...
Thank you.

Very impressing add-in. It works great and was one of the things missing in vB compared to phpBB.

Thank you.

It is not working for me. I install the product, make the changes in postbit / postbit legacy, then, when I press "Quote" appears the "new message", but without any text quoted.

Any idea what can cause this?

The forum is quite filled with addons, may have a conflict with one of them?

Sorry, about what "Quote" you speak?
"Quote" button in vBulletin is for replying messages.

If you have made changes in postbit / postbit legacy you have to switch off (set to "No") option(s) "Update Popup Menu Automatically" and/or "Update Postbit Automatically".

Thank you for the reply!

I am talking about the Quote post in PM, not about the quotes button. It leads me to the PM box, but shows no quote there. I have already switched off those two options, this is the main problem. I did everything I could and still nothing.

What version of vBulletin do you use?

When you install this product and don't use any templates modification for it do you see the link "Quote this post in PM to <user name>" in pop-up menu?

About what modification in you templates you had made do you speak? Tell me.

What setting in ACP for this mod do you use?

Hi,
i have installed the previous mod of this (for vb 3.7),

In the first post there is a HISTORY of changes.

Also there is a section "How to Update".
Follow the instructions there for section "Any version -> v3.8.105"

I recommend you to update to the latest one.

No. You can use this one on vb4 gold.

I already made a new one but there are some things I need to clear out before releasing this one to 4.*.

I'm always waiting for your great vb4 version :) Thanks for your work Mack666

Great job with this mod. It should be default in VB but better we have it as a mod.
Thx.

Sorry for such long reply.

You have to modify the template:
qpipm_postbit

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['pmlink']">

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendtofriend.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm_postbit]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

                </if>

Look for this code to change the path to the image.

HTML Code:

img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendtofriend.gif"

Pay attention that $stylevar[imgdir_button] leads to the default directory with the buttons of your Style directory.

Thank you, TTayfun!

split function ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.split.php ) was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.

I didn't thing I will make changes for this one in original package.

I need time to test this one with explode function ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php ) and may be I will release it as a separate zip pack for PHP 7+.

Thank you one more time!
