Removal of IMG tag upon quoting

[68 Z-28]

I think i've seen this on some vb 2.x.x boards, but forget. Anywho, what I'd like is that when someone quotes a post that has images, it removes the IMG tags and just puts up a link instead. This way if people quote a post 5 times you won't have to keep scrolling through the image, it'll just be a link in the quote.

try that one:

open newreply.php

find:

PHP Code:

        eval('$newpost[\'message\'] = "' . fetch_template('newpost_quote', 1, 0) . '";'); 


and BEFORE add:

PHP Code:

$newpost['message'] = preg_replace('/(\[img])(.*)(\[\/img])/siU', '[url]\1[/url]', $newpost['message']); 


i think that should work

OK, just tested again... It removes the IMG completely if I'm quoting a quote. I'd like this to change the IMG to a URL from the original post.

Edit: I brainfarted for a second... of course the IMG will be removed from the second quote..... so in short that code didn't work...

Thank you for helping me with this.

well, removing nested quotes is vb's standard behaviour.

you have to remove the strip_quotes part to allow that.

YEah, I wsa kinda confusing myself yesterday so my apologies for confusing you as well. The code that you provided didn't work.... Instead of replacing the code how would I get it to just drop the IMG tags and keep the link? I realize that the board is set to autoparse URL's so, I think it will do this by default if there is no IMG tag around it.
