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 *username*".
This option passes to new personal message (PM): post's text, 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).
It can also add image-link to 'postbit' and 'postbit_legacy' templates.
And even replace in popup menu the URL and the phrase for option "Send a private message to *username*" with its own phrase.

Futures of this hack:

• There is option to enable/disable hack.
• The hack is fully translatable.
• The hack can update popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
• The hack can update postbit and postbit_legacy templates automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_controls]. You can disable this one.
• The hack can replace in popup menu the URL and the phrase for "Send a private message to" option with its own.
• The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
• There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
• You can change 'Re: ' for both threads' and posts' PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
• You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
• You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in postbit by using "$qpipm_postbit". Read "Notes:" below.
• You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".
• You can set your own PM's title for both threads' and posts' PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_own_title_thread' and 'qpipm_own_title_post'.
• Option "Use Post's Number in PM's Title". Setting this to "Yes" will use post's number instead of thread's or post's title in PM's title field where avaliable.
• Option "Use Thread's Title even if there is Post's Title". Setting this to "Yes" will always fill the new PM's title field with thread's title, even if there is post's title.
• Option "Trim Post's Text" allows you to trim the post's text been quoted to new PM.
• And other great options.

Use this version only with 3.8.0 or greater.

Enjoy!

Thanks for mod. Could you add option to use the same menu item in popup menu? I mean, the same place, the same text, but with link changed to add quote.

As Vitaly PMed me and explained what he wanted in his message I have released the new version.

[Sunka]

Installed!
Working OK...
Thank you.

[What Exit?]

Very impressing add-in. It works great and was one of the things missing in vB compared to phpBB.

Thank you.

[xyzmary2001]

It is not working for me. I install the product, make the changes in postbit / postbit legacy, then, when I press "Quote" appears the "new message", but without any text quoted.

Any idea what can cause this?

The forum is quite filled with addons, may have a conflict with one of them?

Sorry, about what "Quote" you speak?
"Quote" button in vBulletin is for replying messages.

If you have made changes in postbit / postbit legacy you have to switch off (set to "No") option(s) "Update Popup Menu Automatically" and/or "Update Postbit Automatically".
