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

Hey wait !!! lol ...that's you in that quote !!!! lol

joeychgo

12-23-2014 08:58 AM

Not quite. It doesn't add the text

********* DON'T WRITE BELOW THIS LINE **********

--------------- Added [DATE]1419332387[/DATE] at [TIME]1419332387[/TIME] ---------------

Im also not sure how that would add line breaks

kh99	12-23-2014 10:13 AM

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

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.

Ok lets do this. We will create a new plugin.

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location : private_newpm_reply
Title: Add Text To Pm
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code:

Code:

$pm['message'] = "



********* DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE **********

".$pm['message']."

";

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

CAG CheechDogg

12-24-2014 08:37 AM

Ozzy... how would you do this so that when you start typing the predefined text disappears automatically .... that would be even GOODER !!!

ozzy47

12-24-2014 09:16 AM

Yeah I tried a couple of ways to make the line disappear, but to no avail. If I get some time I'll look into it more.

12-24-2014 09:18 AM

Ok good stuff ozzy once again thanks !!!!

I meant just put at the beginning. But it sounds like you got it working a different way.

Edit: ...which is good because now that I get around to trying it, it doesn't seem to work. Sorry about that.

Ok lets do this, this will hide the line in the display of the PM's

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location : postbit_display_complete
Title: Hide Text In Pm
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code:

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private')

{

    $find = '********* DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE **********'; 

    $replace = '';  



    $this->post['message'] = str_replace($find, $replace, $this->post['message']);

}

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

CAG CheechDogg

12-24-2014 11:49 AM

Only thing is that when you have a few pm's in the conversation you will see the message "********* DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE **********" over and over again lol ..

ozzy47

12-24-2014 11:50 AM

Yeah I know, but there is no easy way around that.

CAG CheechDogg

12-24-2014 11:51 AM

How would you prevent the pm from being quoted automatically..is there a setting for that?

Ok good stuff...I been searching the last couple of nights and haven't found it ..lol .. and I remember running into it a while ago .... :)

kh99	12-24-2014 12:30 PM

If you just want the quote to not appear when you reply to a pm, you can edit the template newpost_quote and remove the quote. But since the same template is used when replying to posts (and maybe other places like the blog), you'd probably want to put in a condition that checks for pms, like:

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'private'">[QUOTE={vb:raw originalposter}]{vb:raw pagetext}[/QUOTE]</vb:if>

and just for the record, adding line breaks to that template (so that there's space between the top and the quote) does work, but I was wrong about using because the template is not html, it's bbcode. You can just use blank lines and it should work.

CAG CheechDogg

12-24-2014 03:22 PM

The blank line's wont work kh99 ... I tried that from your thread to joey in this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=59

Thanks for the condition though !!!!

kh99	12-24-2014 03:32 PM

Hmm, that's strange, I just tried it before posting that. But I just looked at the reply box and I didn't actually send a message. Or maybe it depends on some other options or something, I don't know. But I was wrong about using .

Ok lets do this.

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location : editor_toobar_start
Title: Remove Quote In Pm
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code:

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' AND $editor_type == 'qr')

{

    $text = '';

}

Now that will also override the previous plugin that set the Do Not Reply Below bla,bla,bla
