Show Thread Enhancements - iQuote vB3 - Fast & Easy Text Quoting

New version (1.1) released 3/23/2011: added support for social groups.

This is a vBulletin 3 implementation of the following mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248504

It allows users to quickly quote selected parts of a post inline. Simply highlight some text, and the quote option will appear. As of v1.1, social groups are also supported, but the quoting will only work properly if you have this template mod installed.

On my board, this is one of my users' favorite features!

Note: this requires quick reply to be on and your showthread template must have the $template_hook['showthread_after_activeusers'] hook! To check if the mod is working, view the page of any showthread page and search for 'iquote'. If there are no matches, then the template hook isn't there.

Installation instructions are provided in the zip. Enjoy!

Many thanks for suggestion. I have made the modification and minified the file. Only uploading the file (minified) from the previous version over last version worked.

For who is lazy and want the file already edited so after citation page to be repositioned over the quick reply box can use attached file.

Best regards and thank you for a great great mod. It should be developed further to be able to quote that text in a PM / email or maybe even in social media.
Nice way to interact with content.
I will keep an eye here and vote all stars and nominate it too. This should be standard in vb

NOTE: Dont forget to change extension of saved file to .js (I cant upload js file to vb)!

The members of "my" forum LOVE that addon. They also wanted to have this function in the 'newreply' page with the Advanced Editor. Fortunately the Javascript file was greatly documented. It took me hours, but I've succeed to do it

Thanks again Imedic to convert this hack to vB 3 !


P.S :

• This mod uses what I called a "minimalist design". I didn't want a big menu to display.
• To make it work with the "newreply' page, your template 'newreply_reviewbit' must not have been edited, which shouldn't be a problem.

FYI version 1.1 in the original post supports social groups, but I've lost the non-minified file and will have to go looking for it.

I'd very much like to add the functionality for PMs as well.

it works well but in chrome when u click the instant quote while the quoted text enters into quick reply the popup stays there and doesnt vanish

edit. it also quotes singatures and if someone has quoted someone else in a post and u quote the quoted text it inserts the quote username wrong

Everything works great however, it doesn't display the name
for example, it does this when I click it:

[quote]=;2333]This is my quoted text[/quote]

As opposed to this:

[quote=Craig;2333]This is my quoted text[/quote]

Any ideas? Here is my js file:

PHP Code:

I would check your postbit or postbit_legacy template- actually try it on a complete default style and see if you have the same problem or not.

Thanks for your reply BirdOPrey5, I found the problem, but I don't know how to fix it!

It's because I have Username Images installed, so I was testing this on myself, where I have a username image & it's not fetching my username.. I logged on today and tried on someone who doesn't have a username image, and it worked perfectly...

Any ideas of a fix to that, here is that section on my postbit_legacy

PHP Code:

<!-- User Name Images by World Domination -->
<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
                    <if condition="$show['profile']">
                    <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><if condition="$post['field5']"><img src="$post[field5]" max-width="170" max-height="30" border="0"/></a> <else />$post[musername]</a></if><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script><else />$post[musername]</if>$threadauthor</div></center> 

       <center><if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if></center> 


[BirdOPrey5]

I don't know if it would work but I'd try this...

change this code:

<if condition="$post['field5']"><img src="$post[field5]" max-width="170" max-height="30" border="0"/></a> <else />$post[musername]</a></if>

to this:

<if condition="$post['field5']"><img src="$post[field5]" max-width="170" max-height="30" border="0"/><span style="display:none;">$post[musername]</span></a><else />$post[musername]</a></if>

I'm not sure it will help or not- it will at least create the username but it will be invisible.

You genius! I never even thought to do something like that! Worked like a charm, thanks so much

Does anyone know how to disable usage in the latest post?
