Quick Reply Multiquote
 

This Modification allows users to highlight text in user's posts and after clicking the QR-icon it will get entered into the qr-form surrounded by quote tags When no text is highlighted, the QR icon will work as it did before.

You can see a demo version on vb.org already :)

Thx to EvilS1 for the IE-JS code :)

Notice: the .js Files are cached by most browsers, so if you installed the hack, and don't notice a change, do a hard refresh to download the newest version from the server.

Notice: The hack is designed to work with normal text boxes, right now the wysiwyg editor is not supported.

nice little addon ...

a few things that could be improved.... (here on vb.org)
1. there is no quick reply button on firstpostid
2. anchor has been removed or it is not working as it should (firefox) ... FYI: the default quick reply button takes you to the quick reply

nice one :)

very nice i'll install very soon

only limitation : it doesn't keep smily in quote

another one : url are keeping as url but as txt

This way too cool. :) Nice Stefan.

Thanks

/me clicks install

@floleb: i know, but that's not so easy to change as it's working on the output and not on the post's search (JS hack, not php hack) so i think that will stay as it is

i think i don't get you right now?

princeton is relating to the fact that the original feature focus the cluster to the quick reply box, that's the goal of the feature...

your hack (Xenon) is not shooting us to the quickreply box... (htmlwindow.focus()...)

well, as i said in site feedback that's by design

if you want to quote more than one line in a post it's annoying to alway scroll back

it's just shooting directly to the qr box if no text is highlighted :)

Great Hack! Although, I cannot seem to be able to get it to work, I have adsense code displaying above the quick reply box, I wonder if that has something to do with it?

All that happens when I highlight the text in a post, and click the quickreply button, is it scolls down to the quick reply box, but does nothing is entered into the Quick reply box. any ideas?

this is super cool, I was always thinking of this and now it comes true.

/me clicks installed

It's always good to give some form of feedback.
With short threads, there's no problem. The user will "see" the quotes in the quickreply but with long threads there is nothing telling me that everything is working as it should.

Again, with long threads and as a user of site, I like to be directed to the quick reply on onclick rather than having to scroll. However, as a STAFF, I see how it would be beneficial to NOT direct user to quick reply on onclick.

If I had to choose, I would opt to make things easier for the user.

Great hack!!

Nice one, Stefan! ;)

EDIT: For some reason this isn't working for me. I am still using RC3. Would that have anything to do with it? When I highlight text and hit the buitton, the text does not get entered into the Quick Reply Box. :(

OMG sweet, thank you!!!!!

whatever happened to the multiple quote hack from 2.x? the one where you can click on a check box for each post you want to quote. wouldn't that be easy to do also?

oh I did find one but I think I might like xenons better ;)

Wow, this is absolutely awesome. Thank you.

Running 3.0.4 and same problem for me also.

Boofo, it's time to upgrade to 3.0.4. :) Or at least, use the 3.0.4 init.php to plug a potential security hole.

I'll be installing this one at my own forums soon.

I know, I know. But RC3 is running so well for me I hate to mess anything up. LOL

I do all the sercurity updates on every upgrade so I am covered on that part of it anyways. ;)

@heynurse: hmm, no idea, do you have 3.0.3 or a different version?
also did you do a total refresh, as sometimes the browser holds an old cache of the .js files

that goes to you bob as well ;)

@princeton: yeah, you have a point. that's why i left the part, when nothing is selected then the old jump will apply on click :)

@SnowBot: look at my post above, it may just be an old cache, i think i should update the first post ;)

well this is installed, works a treat in FF (standard editor) just not in IE (with WYSIWYG not checked other editors) :(

but thank you stefan, i really appreciate this release :)

Running 3.0.4 and it works like a charm :)

Thanks Xenon

3.0.3 and not working for me either.

I got it working on my site. It turns out that it doesn't work with the WYSIWYG editor there for some reason. It works as it is supposed to with the others editors. ;)

yep, it's designed to work with the normal editors (did i say that i hate wysiwyg ^^)

i may look at the wysiwyg part maybe :)

That would be great! ;)

You might want to add that it only works with the normal editors in your first post so others will know what to do if it doesn't seem to work at first for them. ;)

you're right bob

that's my problem fixed then lol

If you can get it to work with WYSIWYG, that would be great. ;)

Yes, that would be great ;) Thanks for your hack regardless, you always put out great stuff :)

I agree... excellent hack, and great work!

do you have to install the regular mutiquote by Chroder First?

No. Different hack.

hmm, well I can't seem to get it to do anything with 3.0.5...?
I must be missing something

ah, I found "my" problem.
I'm using postbit_legacy, so I had to put it in there also.

Works great, Thanks!

glad you like it :)

DOH! Thanks for posting your solution, that was my problem as well :) I forgot that I was using the postbit_legacy!

Xenon, Thanks again for this hack, very clever and simple to install :)
