This Plugin is a Port of Gamingforces vB 3.0 Mod
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...8&page=3&pp=15

[ Feature Description ]
This is a very popular feature on my community since it allows people to easily track who's been quoting them. This is very useful because it allows you to easily check up on who's been replying to you!

How does it work?

1. John quotes Paris in a reply and also quotes Nicole.
2. The hack recognizes that John's quoting Paris and Nicole and adds 2 entries to the quotedata table.
3. Paris and Nicole can see in their "Who Quoted Me?" page that John has quoted their post.
4. Paris wants to see the post with her quoted on and she clicks the link. She is brought to the post!
5. Everyone is happy and John enjoys a Chalupa from Taco Bell.*

For such a useful feature, it's incredibly easy to install!

You can easily modify the number of results to display for the user! Just change the $zig in the whoquotedme.php file!

I suggest you try again to get his permission. Without permission of the author it is not possible to redistribute (modified or not) his/her work. As a community of coders we take copyright seriously, and unfortunatly this is one of the side effects of that.

Will keep it up one more week to give you the chance to get permission.

How would I restrict this so that only certain usergroups can use it?

Thanks for finally porting this! My users love it!

Seems unlikely you will get an answer, which is a shame - but once again it highlights the problem of porting abandoned hacks.

Actually, I think it highlights the anal rules about porting hacks. If an author releases a hack to the public, the public should be able to modify, update, etc. the code without permission as long as credit is given.

The stupid mindset that people are "stealing" other peoples' freely-distributed work is what causes a huge logjam in development of hacks for new vb versions.

Porting a hack needs permission? Stupid.

It's not stupid if the author is active and/or contactable. It is a bit naff if they seem to have just vanished for months and abandoned their code.

Yes it does, as it is protected by copyright

If you don't mind the author potentially returning and sueing you for taking over their intellectual property, then you run that risk, but we don't allow it here...

Protected by copyright, huh? I highly doubt anyone here has their work copyrighted.

If someone is re-releasing freely-distributed material FREELY, then there's no problem. If they were making a profit off it, that's another issue.
