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.

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

So, how exactly did you get it to not work?
I can't reproduce it.

Kirby, I can't get it to work either. Perhaps if you post procedures on how to get multiquote working (like what you are doing) and maybe we can see if we can follow those steps to reproduce what you are doing)

Do you have any other hacks installed?

I test all hacks locally before uploading them to my live board (the experience of having a wayward MySQL command obliterate all but 9 of my forums tables on my live board once has taught me that much). But I have noticed that every hack I have tried on my test board (which has no mods) works perfectly. But when I then try the install on my live board most work, but some don't, others cancel out unrelated hacks and some even stop default functions from working.

I have never been able to work out what causes this, and doubt if I ever will as vB.com staff won't address issues caused by mods, and mod authors often can't help as their hacks work fine, just not in conjunction with some others.

Just thought I'd post this here, some of my members didn't find the "selected" icon (mq_img_on.gif) very noticeable so I added a bit of yellow to make it stand out a bit more.

Kirby how about listing the step to using it? I have tired it yet again and it does not work. I think that it apers to have some sort of flaws seeing as 3 of us can not set it to work on your board.

I click several multiquote icons, then click the reply button - the form appears will all the quotes in it.

If works fine on my board.

Ah it does work. I now know what's the problem. It's how it's setup to work Kirby.

For those that didn't work, test these steps out:

1) Select several posts you want quoted.
2) After quoting them, press "QUOTE" and it will activate.


Kirby, my suggestion is that you get this to work with Quick Reply as well as honestly, many people, including myself, thought it would work in quick reply.

OK Kirby I see it worked. I was using the quick reply. Not reply. However the code simple will not work. I assume it is from one of the two template mods I have. One is custom profile field and the other is Adsense after the first post. Is there anyways possibel you could fidn a work around for this when you have some free time from fixing other hacks and espcialy AWS.

I get the following error in Step 4:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /web/www.site.com/html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 250

Ok, I just removed the <if> conditional and got the buttons to display, however, the multi-quote doesn't seem to be functioning properly. I've tried quoting 3 different people, and it seems that only 2 of them show in the Reply box.

After further testing, it seems as though the "LAST POST" in a thread doesn't seem to be taking. I can quote 20 other posts, but if I include the last post in the thread, all will show except for that one.

EDIT:

I can multiquote a few posts, then "Quote" the last post and it seems to work fine (All multiquotes + the last post). Just that "Multiquote" doesn't seem to function when you multiquote all of them, then click "REPLY".
