You realize they can just use their mouse to copy/paste the content into a post and put quote tags around it, right? I suppose if you wanted, you could put a condition around the Quote tag to not show it for the first post, but as I said, all they have to do is copy/paste with their mouse and then they've quoted it anyway and you can't do anything about that.

hmmm i know about that lynne.
but for this issue. i just want block qoute for first post.
can u help me? maybe i need some module about this / plugins.

thx

I use this in my postbit:

<if condition="$post['postid']==$thread['firstpostid']">
stuff
</if>

However, if I recall, I modified some code to make that possible. I think I had to add something into showthread that defined $thread['firstpostid']. You may be able to do that with a plugin.

hi lynne may i know when i put that code? i mean in postbit legacy..where i must put that code? in top / bottom? thx

I don't think it's going to work just on it's own (but it may, I don't remember). You may need to modify your code to create the variable $thread['firstpost'] and then do something like this (this is 3.6.8 code, so you may have to modify it for whatever version you use):

<if condition="$post['postid']!=$thread['firstpostid']">
            <if condition="$post['replylink']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
            </if>
            <if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/multiquote_<if condition="$show['multiquote_selected']">on<else />off</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multi_quote_this_message]" border="0" id="mq_$post[postid]" /></a>
            </if>
</if>

Like I said, I really don't know if it will work. You'll probably have to play with it a bit to get it to work.

hi lynne thx for reply.
btw may i know about the name for the template i must edit? or put the code? and between ?

[Lynne]

Either the postbit or postbit_legacy template, whichever you are using. All I did was put a condition around the already existing code.

sorry lynne im using 3.7.4 vbulletin.
now im in postbit_legacy. i dont know to put ur code in the template :

<if condition="$post['postid']!=$thread['firstpostid']">

            </if>
            <if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/multiquote_<if condition="$show['multiquote_selected']">on<else />off</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multi_quote_this_message]" border="0" id="mq_$post[postid]" /></a>
            </if>
</if>

where i must put that code? in top of bottom ? thx

[Lynne]

You find your code that looks like this:

            <if condition="$post['replylink']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
            </if>
            <if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/multiquote_<if condition="$show['multiquote_selected']">on<else />off</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multi_quote_this_message]" border="0" id="mq_$post[postid]" /></a>

And put the condition around it so it looks like this:

<if condition="$post['postid']!=$thread['firstpostid']">
            <if condition="$post['replylink']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
            </if>
            <if condition="$show['multiquote_post']">
                <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/multiquote_<if condition="$show['multiquote_selected']">on<else />off</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multi_quote_this_message]" border="0" id="mq_$post[postid]" /></a>
            </if>
</if>

            </if>

But, I will re-emphasize that you need to make sure $thread[firstpostid] is defined first in order for that condition to work.
