Private Messages Enhancements - Quote Post in PM

Quote Post in PM

=================
Info:
=================

This product adds a new option in user's popup menu "Quote this post in PM to ..."
This option passes to the PM: the username of the post, post id, as well as the post title (if there is one) or thread title (if there is no post title).

Futures of this hack:
- There is option to enable/disable hack.
- The hack is fully translatable.
- The hack updates popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
- The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
- There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
- You can change 'Re: ' for both thread and post PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
- You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
- You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".

From version 3.7.104 this product doesn't use some Boofo's copyrighted code from his hack "Quote Post in PM" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315). without his permission.

- Use version 3.7.104 only with 3.6.8 or greater.

Enjoy!

This hack sometimes is very usefull for forum administrators when they want to point some user to his/her "mistakes" in some post.
You will have to make two click and you will be writing a PM to that user with your notes.

But in any way if you want it on "3.7.0 Release Candidate 4" version then
open file "quote_post_in_pm_v3-7-104.xml" in Notepad and change:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.99" />

to

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.8" maxversion="3.7.99" />

No.
My product no longer has anything to do with that product either on the part of the code, much less on the part of the functionality and convenience.

You can read the list of futures of this hack in the first post.
None of them are in the product you point to.

I hope you have to understand that most of the product on this forum has some intersects code. Sorry, but vBulletin uses unique variables that all Coders are using in their products.
