Quick Quote!

Howdy,

This hack will allow you to reply directly (with a quote) to any post in a thread without having to load the newreply page.. In each post will be a small "QuickQoute" radio button.. When you click it a reply box will instantly drop down below that post allowing you to reply with a quote in the thread itself.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

Nice work - this is really what i want on my forums but i'd like it to work with the quick reply hack so when you click the quick quote button or whatever that its automatically quoted in the quick reply box. Any chance you could write an addon for the hack in this thread plz ?

Wow if that's possible, it would be great.

when i try it now - it sort of works but the quote only shows the first character of the first word and that is it.

Hmmm.. Weird. Anyone else having this problem?

What version of VB are you using?

Quote Selected Add-On for FireFly's Quick Reply hack:

{Edit} Not to be confused with my "Quick Quote II" hack for Quick Reply which can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&postid=414625
These are two completely different modifications so be sure to check out Quick Quote II aswell and decide which one you want (or you can install both of them).


Note: This is a completely separate add-on and works independantly from the Quick Quote hack posted in this thread. Infact, no hacking is necessary for this add-on.. Its all done with javascript. This can be used in addition to the Quick Quote hack, or separately.

To use this add-on you must have FireFly's "Quick Reply" hack already installed.

How it works: Once you've installed this add-on you will see an extra button below your Quick Reply form that says "Quote Selected".

Simply hold down your left mouse button and highlight some text within a thread, then scroll down to your quick reply box and click the "Quote Selected" button.. The text that you highlighted will be inserted into the quick reply box with quote tags around it..

See Screenshot.

You can quote an entire post, or just certain parts of multiple posts within the thread.

Credits: I addapted this to work with vBulletin from a phpBB hack by RustyDragon.

Known issues: Doesn't work with Mozilla browsers. It works fine with internet explorer and variants. Haven't tested on Opera.

Note: If you have clickable smilies with your Quick Reply you will need to find and replace ALL occurrences of "vbform" with "post" in the following places:

vbcode.js
newreply template
newthread template
vbcode_popup_smilies template
priv_sendprivmsg template
priv_sendtobuddies template
calendar_enterevent template
editpost template

Any chance you could get that to work like you have for FireFly's quick reply...for this one as well?

It should work with that one aswell.. Just apply those same changes in the showthread template.

Great ideas! Well done!

Nice, the "select text" and quote concept is great.

I have Teck's quick reply hack installed, but there shouldn't be too much variation from Firefly's version.

Yet, I'm receiving a javascript error when I click "Quote selected."

The error is originating in this error of the code:

        function emoticon(text) {
                if (document.post.message.createTextRange && document.post.message.caretPos) {
                        var caretPos = document.post.message.caretPos;
                        caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? text + ' ' : text;
                        document.post.message.focus();
                } else {
                        document.post.message.value  += text;
                        document.post.message.focus();
                }
        }

I've renamed the <form> to "post," and did the installation exactly, yet it doesn't seem to function.

Thanks fellas..

Velocd,
What browser are you using? Can you post or pm me the entire contents of your showthread_replybox template?

Edit: Ignore this attachment.. Its for another post.
