Remove Extra Quotes From PMs

Heres a quickie hack that will remove any extra quotes from PMs when you reply to them.

It will save you (and your users) time from deleting them yourself and also reduce the size of your PM Db :D

Example:

Quote:

The first quote

Quote:

The third quote (and so on)...

The second quote

becomes

Quote:

The first quote

OK open up 'private.php' in your favourite editor then goto line 542, which should have:

PHP Code:


		
			
    eval("\$message[message] = \"".gettemplate("priv_reply",1,0)."\";");

  } else {

    $message = array();

  }

and just above that place this

PHP Code:


		
			
    $message[message] = trim(preg_replace("~\[[b][/b]quote\](.*)\[/quote\]~si", "", $message[message]));

Its as easy as that!

Enjoy!

It took out ALL of the quotes. Can it leave just the last one when you reply to the message? Also, it placed a W] inside the quote that was there but nothing else.

Yes, I have to also agree with Boofo, just leaving the last QUOTE is the best method :D

I hate those annoying quotes having to delete them, so this is a good idea with the small change.

Umm...did you follow the code *exactly* as I said? i.e. place the new code *above* the eval code?

I've tested it out on my own forums and is working great.

Hmm, shouldn't the code be...

Code:

$message['message'] = trim(preg_replace('~\[quote\](.*)\[/quote\]~si', '', $message['message']));

Thanks, Chen, you have once again proven yourself worthy to be called the MASTER! That worked great! And it only leaves the current quote.

Sincerely,

*sigh* That is what I tried to post, but alas was parsed incorrectly...

[edit]
Yup, the "stupid" board strips out any slashes from code.

Can't you just attach it as a text file attachment? :) Or just use the [disable][disable][/disable][/disable] tags.
