Reply to PMs without quoting them

There was one thing that I didn't like in vB3 (and it hasn't been changed in vB3.5 ): If you plan to reply to a PM you automatically quote the message you reply to. If you have a conversation with one member via PM the message often gets long and confusing.

This product allows you to reply to a message without quoting the message you reply to. I doesn't interfere with the way vBulletin handles the PM reply to your members can select themselfes what they want to do.

As said before, this is a product.. It uses 3 hooks and you need to import only 1 file to have it installed + 1 template edit in order to make it work.


The version I have installed uses a simple phrase like 'reply without quoting' instead of the default vBulletin image. This product however uses the reply_small.gif -> .
You may change that if you want

Already installed this plugin and want to change how it looks? Read this.. If not.. Read the attached instructions
Some members pointed me to this. If you want to disable the normal link which automatically quotes the message and only use my Plugin here's the code for you:

Replace:

			<if condition="$post['replylink']">
				<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
			</if>

with:

			<!--<if condition="$post['replylink']">
				<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
			</if>-->

And replace everthing you've already added for this hack with this:

			<if condition="$show['replylinknoquote']">
				<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;pmid=$post[pmid]&amp;noquote=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="reply without quoting" border="0" /></a>
			<else />
			   <if condition="$post['replylink']">
				<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
			   </if>
			</if>

This way you see the link to reply without quoting and the normal link when Plugin is disabled

MrNase,

That seems simple enough. However I am no coder at all and am not sure what I need to delete. Could you point out that piece of code on the template for me. Thanks
