Quick Quote II -Quote posts instantly in your Quick Reply box

Hi,

This is not an update to my other Quick Qoute hack. The other hack is a stand alone feature which works with or without the Quick Reply box.. This one does not..

To use this hack you MUST already have the Quick Reply box hack installed.

What does it do? This hack will allow you to instantly quote any post or multiple posts in your Quick Reply Box.

How it works: In the upper righthand corner of each post will be a small "QuickQoute" checkbox.. When you click it the text from that post and the original poster's username will automatically be inserted into your Quick Reply box with quote tags around it.

Improvements over the other "Quote Selected" add-on:

• Works with all browsers
• You can quote multiple posts
• No need to highlight any text. Posts are quoted instantly.
• Includes original poster's username

Very easy to install.. 1 file edit, 1 template edit, and 1 template to add.

Works with vB versions 2.2.X and 2.3.X.

Emmy,
I registered at your site and logged in with Mozilla, yet I was unabled to reproduce the bug (I could see the quick quote checkbox and everything looked fine).. However, I wasn't able to check the Quick Edit feature because my account isn't validated yet. If you will validate my account and point me to your test forum I'd be happy to check it for you.

In the mean time, you could try relocating the $quick_quote variable in your postbit template to see if the problem goes away. Some browsers are just picky about the placement of forms and will do things like that.

Thanks Dewayne, you're validated now. You can use the Board Business forum for testing...that is where the original post of the problem by my user is (under "New Quick Edit button", even though I'm guessing it's a Quick Quote II issue).

Thanks for your help! My other users are loving the new "quick" additions!

Hmm.. Weird, I've viewed it with Mozilla, IE, and Opera but can't seem to duplicate the problem. Maybe it only happens with a certain version of Mozilla? Either that or it must be a mac thing.

The only thing I can think of to try is to temporarily remove the quickquote hack and ask the Mac/Mozilla users if the problem goes away, then if it does you could try reinstalling it and adding the quick quote checkbox in another location. Sorry that I can't be more helpful but its almost impossible to fix the bug if I can't duplicate it.

Thanks Dewayne, I appreciate the help. I'll try moving it and see if that helps. I know what you mean about "working in the dark"....even if I move it, I still have to wait for her to check it out to see if it helped...very frustrating when you're trying to fix a problem and can't see what it's doing! :P

Thanks again for the hack support!

Though I never had that problem I must say, and I always use the last post links.

I'm very busy working on my vB3 at the moment.

Oblivian, any chance of getting this bug worked out? I would prefer to just have a button but a lot of us use "First unread post" and "last post" buttons, and its too annoying to keep it the way it is. I would, and others too would appreciate it, and even if not it would be nice to know that you won't be working on a fix, so we can get rid of it altogether. Thanks.
