Multiquote
 

Multiquote

Credits
This is a port of the vB 3.0.X-Version of Multiquote made by Chroder - all credits to him and Hoffi for the images.

Description (copy & paste as I am lazy ;))
This multiquote hack allows your members to select multiple posts to quote from. These posts can be on a different
page, in a different thread, or on an entirely different forum. Don't worry, the hack checks to make sure the user
has read permissions on the post so no sneaky members can insert random post ID's in hopes to find what's going on
in your secret staff forums.

This Hack is not designed to work with Quick Reply, it also does not quote the last post of a Thread if you click the New Reply button, as this button is meant to reply without quoting the last post.

Details

Note: As I did not test this extensivly i'll class it as Beta :)

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall when you don't use it any longer!

Niiice. Thanks to the original hack author, and to you, Kirby.

screenshot please :)

It's an update of the thread he linked to. Go look at the link for your screenshots.

Excellent hack Kirby :)

Will be installing this as soon as I get Beta 3 fixed :)

Satan

Nice hack :) Just what I needed

Very nice, be counting me in for this one :) Great job.

It seems that it doesn't work with posts that already contain a quote!?

It does, but just like the normal Quote function it does not quote Quotes :)

I know, but overhere it does not quote those posts at all!

Normal posts (without any quotes) works fine, single or multiple.
When I use your plugin to quote posts that already have quotes themselfs, than it does not quote anything.

Tested it on a clean vbulletin 3.5.0 beta 3 installation...

One note, maybe that's the problem, I'm quoting a post wich contains a quote of myself...

Hmm, seems to work just fine for me.
Do you have a Board where I can test this, or tell me exactly how to reproduce the problem?

I will create a account for you on my dev site. Keep track of your pm inbox ;)

Problem solved: No problem existed :)
Just misunderstanding:
If you select the last post of a Thread for Multiquote and then click the Big Reply Button it will not be quoted, as this button sets noquote=1 for the last Post.
This is intended behaviour.

isnt this a plug in? if so why is it in code mods?

It comes with an additional JS File, so as of our definition it is not a Plugin ...

it does not change the original code tho.... or does it?

No, it does not touch any vBulletin files.

then it should be a plug in.... vb.org plugin definition: "Plugins are addons that do NOT require ANY source code modification."

... if they do not come with additional files.
That's the current definition.
Anyway, this discussion is OT here.

If you want to further discuss this matter we should move on to Site Feedback.

Invalid template content - Eventually found it:p
Change:
to:
:)

Satan

But $show['replylink'] is defined nowhere ....

Well it wouldn't work with $post['replylink'], and does work with $show['replylink'] for me o_O

Satan

This is the error I get when I use $post['replylink']:

Satan

Strange. Does work just fine for me.
And I really can't understand why this would happen, seeing as postbit itself uses $post['replylink']
Anyone else expiriencing the problem?

Hrm strange now I don't see the image on showthread when I use $show['replylink'] and when I try and use your template code it gives me that error :ermm:

It also gives me this error upon trying to view a thread when I click "continue" regardless:

Satan

Really strange. Which Version do you use?
Although it does not make sense, did you try to just put the Code in a new Template and save it, does this compile without errors?

Of vB? 3.5.0 Beta 3 :)

I put it in it's own template, and got this:

It's obviously something wrong in this line:
:ermm:

Satan

Well, if you put only this line then the </if> is missing ...

This is the whole code and does compile just fine for me?

Strange - I took out the ' s and it was fine o_O

Another problem though, unrelated to templates... I think...

If I have a thread with, say, 5 replies - If I select the multi-quote button for posts, 1, 3, 4 and 5, it will only quote posts 1, 3 and 4 :ermm:

What is happening to the last post in the thread?

Edit: The template code you posted above works, but the same code from your .txt file doesn't o_O Weird :p

Satan

I did with beta 3 just today

yaa that works :)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=13

That's really weird, as I just copypasted from the Readme ...

Bleh - What's the point in multi-quoting if you cannot quote the last post either? :p

Satan

You can, you must just click Quote.
It's intended behaviour if the Big Reply Button not to quote the last Post, so I kept this.

Do you want a Setting to turn Off this behaviour? :D

Yes please :)

I know I will forget to do this otherwise, and my users, when I have some, will get doublely confused :p

Satan

I'm not sure if this has been brought up, or if anyone had an issue with it. But when I installed it, I had to change all the plus signs to spaces.
I'm on a mac using the default text editor.

Also, I would like to point out that most of my users use quick reply, and we have it so no click is required. If it were possible to have all the normal functionality, but have the quotes selected appear inside a post, it would be useful. But as it is right now, it is a little confusing for novice users.

With so many people using quick reply now, it's a shame this doesn't integrate with the quick reply box at all.

I ran into this issue just now as well. The code from the text file didn't work, yet the copied code from Kirby's post worked just fine.

Hmm, how do wou want it to integrate?
Of cour I could make it so QR takes all the Quotes selected for MQ, but does that make sense?

Question.. Can the order that the quotes are displayed be reversed? It's showing the most recent post/quote first, rather than the oldest.
