Nested Quotes
UPDATE 12/7/06: The hack is updated with CoreIssue's code edit ;) mentioned in the posts. It's more simple and you only add one line to it. Tested on vb3.6.4 so it now works fine!
Difficulty: Extremely Easy Time take to install: 15 seconds Version Info v1.01 Hack updated with CoreIssue simple file edit. Should work with all version of vb now. v1.0 Initial Release I made a suggestion on vb.com but it seems like the developers are not interested. But then a nice member rossco2005 helped me out since we both like the idea to have nested quote feature in our boards WHEN we click on the Quote button. Nested quotes are used in phpbb and IB forums. Nested quotes are used in VB's private message area, but for some reason they wont work for the forums. So let me show you an example on how this works. Let say i made this post. ------Post #1------ There are 11 planets in our solar system ------------------- And if someone (let say Bot) click on the Quote button and submit a new post it should turn out like this ------Post #2------ Quote:
-------------------- But if another person (let say Bot1) hit the quote button for that previous post it will return this ------Post #3------ Quote:
-------------------- But instead we want it to turn like this when we click on the quote button ------Post #3------- Quote:
-------------------- Get the picture? So here is the code modification on how to put nested quotes on your forums. Files to edit: functions.php In file functions.php, find: Code:
function strip_quotes($text) Code:
function strip_quotes($text) Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.01 Replace the original functions.php from vb and then perform the edits. Anyways i hope this is useful for peeps who need nest quotes. If someone can make it more advanced, like into a product or plugin, go ahead =]. I was hoping this can be built into the vb admin panel and lets u control how many nested quotes are allow per post, so that u dunt need to edit the file every upgrade or edit the file whenever u want to change the amount of nested quotes. |

Very nicely done. I don't understand why Jelsoft didn't do this to begin with. Great job.
|
Very nice one, I just don't like file edits :(
|
me either but thats the only way =[
im have no programming skills other than java =p |
Works great! Sucks that it's a file edit but it's too good of a feature not to do it.

I agree that it should of been a default feature. I thought multi quote would of been able to cover this in some way, but oh well. Great job on this, if decide to put it in I'll click the install button for you.

Looking good, will install this soon! ;)
