Private Messages Enhancements - Quote Post in PM

Quote Post in PM

This is an update to amykhar's original Quote Post in PM hack. Since she is busy and doesn't have the time to dedicate to supporting her version of this hack like she would like to, she has asked me to release this in place of her original hack. This is basically amy's hack with a few minor fixes so all the credit goes to her.

This plugin now passes the username of the post to the PM as well as the post title (if there is one), or thread title (if there is not a post title). It is also set up for the /me code hack parsing (thanks goes out to Hellcat for that fix). And for anyone interested, Hellcat's version of the /me action code hack works 100 percent in vB3.5.4., in both posts and PMs.

In the attached ZIP file there are 3 icons for the pmquote.gif. Just choose the one you want and rename it to pmquote.gif and you should be all set.

This is a plug-in and not a product, so upload it as a plug-in.

Enjoy!

A special thanks goes out to peterska2 for helping me along the way. Without her prodding and extensive testing, this might never have gotten done.

Seems to work fine here.

Can you get this to work with 3.6.4 ? It does not transfer over a PM title or post quote. It does go to start a new PM with autofilling in the username of that post which is still a nice feature.

Thanks again...

Also, I have both the icon AND the drop down link as there are users that usually use one or the other most of the time.

Installed, but I also think this would take this Mod to the next level.

I got the link to the original post added in the PM by copying one line and phrase over from Andreas' hack:

1. Modify Plugin
In the plugin Quote Post in PM, find:

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

After, add:

$pm['message'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['in_reply_to_your_post_x'], $postinfo['postid'], ($postinfo['title'] ? $postinfo['title'] : $postinfo['postid'])) . "\n" . $pm['message'];

2. Add a new Phrase:
Variablename: in_reply_to_your_post_x
Text: In Reply to your Post [post={1}]{2}[/post]:

That's it!

Awesome, stomph, thanks so much. Been wanting this for awhile. Seems to be working fine. This is exactly how it should work, it should be part of the core vBulletin install!

I imagine if they add it, they'll use the "Back-Link for Quoted Posts" arrow/icon that we got with 3.6 instead though.

In the meantime, thanks for share. Much appreciated.

Works perfect after this!

One exception you need to add this code to the link with the image in your postbit or postbit_legacy

u=$post[userid]

She forgot to put this in her instructions for edits.

Here is her code:

<if condition="!$post['forwardlink']"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&postid=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/pmquote.gif" alt="Quote this post in a PM" border="0" /></a></if>

Here is what it should be:

<if condition="!$post['forwardlink']"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&u=$post[userid]&postid=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/pmquote.gif" alt="Quote this post in a PM" border="0" /></a></if>

That's it!

Thanks for everyone who made this mod work been waiting on it for LONG time.

Thanks AWJunkies for your bits as well.

For my part, I can't think of a reason not to add ;$postid to the
newpost_quote template, for a link back to the original post:

I changed this:


To this:


... for better or for worse ...

You know there is a 3.7 version of this hack out, right?
