Quote Post in PM

=================
Info:
=================

This product adds a new option in user's popup menu "Quote this post in PM to ..."
This option passes to the PM: the 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).

Futures of this hack:
- There is option to enable/disable hack.
- The hack is fully translatable.
- The hack updates popup menu automatically using hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]. You can disable this one.
- The hack uses its own template "qpipm_quote". You can change it as you like. The variables: "$originalposterandpostid", "$originalposter", "$originalpostid" and "$pagetext" are used in that template.
- There is option "Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title". Setting this to "Yes" will automatically fill the title of new PM with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.
- You can change 'Re: ' for both thread and post PMs. Search for phrases 'qpipm_re_thread' and 'qpipm_re_post'.
- You can insert the template of this hack manually anywhere you want in user's popup menu by using "$qpipm". Read "Notes:" below.
- You can translate this hack into your native language. Search for Phrases Containing "qpipm_".

From version 1.0.4 this product doesn't use some Boofo's copyrighted code from his hack "Quote Post in PM" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315). without his permission.

- As there was a bug introduced in vBulletin 3.6.7 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=22069) version 1.0.0 has some "special" code to override that bug. In version 1.0.1 this code was removed.
- Use version 1.0.4 only with 3.6.8 or greater.

Enjoy!

If you use not only English on your forums you will have to update phrase "qpipm_quote_post_in_pm".

Thanks!

I have installed the mod and I see nothing for this in the drop down in 3.6.8. Does this require a new post to work? or will it begin working with all posts? I suspect the later. Perhaps I have an issue in one of the templates as another mod I have works on the user profile page but also not in this dropdown from the thread and username. I have no error showing though. p.s. my forum is www.physiobob.com/forum

Makc666 · #34 10-02-2007, 01:27 PM

perfphysio your vB Version: VB 3.6.2 doesn't have Hook $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]
Use the manual steps described in Read_Me.txt

McMendo · #35 10-19-2007, 11:27 PM

Could this mod be in the form of a "Quote PM" button to the left of the "Quote" button, instead of the drop-down menu?

I think that I've seen it in some forum.

For those of you who feel like they have set everything up properly but it "does not work", I just tested with vB 3.7.0 beta3 and it worked after I adjusted the usergroup settings related to private message permissions. Make sure that "Maximum Stored Messages:" is set to a positive value, and that current usergroup is allowed to use the PM system.

Great hack!

Yes, you can do so.

Install the product only
In product options set "Update popup menu automatically" to "No".

Open template qpipm_menu

Code:

	<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>

Modify this part of template how you need it

Code:

		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]</phrase></a></td></tr>

Save the template
Add $qpipm where you need to the left of the "Quote" button

In other words you have

To find in templates postbit && postbit_legacy the code:

Code:

        <if condition="$show['quickreply']">
            <a href="javascript:insertQuote('$post[usernamequick]', selection, '$post[postid]')" onMouseOver="catchSelection()" title="$vbphrase[select_and_click]" class="smallfont"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickquote.gif" alt="$vbphrase[select_quote]" border="0" /></a>
	</if>

Add before $qpipm

Change template qpipm_menu to something like this one:

Code:

	<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
		<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/your_new_button_here.gif" alt="$vbphrase[qpipm_quote_post_in_pm]" border="0" /></phrase></a>
	</if>

Don't forget to upload you new button and give it the proper name in code above.
I highlighted it above your_new_button_here.gif

This product is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions

Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Private Message Permissions
Maximum Stored Messages:
If you set this to 0 users from this usergroup will not be able to use private messaging.

I understand why somebody wants to use that function only with stuff-usergroups. I have the same wish.
Stuff-Users need the possibility to send a pm to a member, perhaps because they will delete the post.
Non-stuff-users, in my eyes, shouldn't have more possibilities to communicate with pm's.
If they are able to use this hack, then they will correspond a lot of thing with pm's and not in the forums. And that's not what I want to push with such an elegant function to do so.

Once again - this product is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions.

Ok. I will write an option that some Group with ID 7 will not see that link for "Quote Post in PM" and will not be able to use that link manually.

But that Group with ID 7 will be able to:
1. Copy that post in browser.
2. Start a New Private Message
3. Past the text in Private Message
4. And send it.

And what?

This product "Quote Post in PM" only helps to generate a New Private Message.
All other stuff is based on vBulletin's Private Message Permissions.

P.S. I will think on the option not to show that link for "Quote Post in PM" and will not be able for them to use that link manually.
But I really can't understand how this one will solve your problem.
