Mini Mods - Quote Improvements

What is this
this product should help you remove the clutter when users quote long posts and their images. It simply replaces all quoted images with links

New in version 1.2
Now with admin options so you can change the regular expressions easily. (see attached screenshot)

Installation
simply import the attached file as new product:
AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

What it does
when a user replies with quotes, the plugins replace the [IMG] and [VIDEO] in the quoted text with [url] using regular expressions:

PHP Code:

$pagetext = preg_replace('/\[img\]([^\[]*)\[\/img\]/i','[url]$1[/url]', $pagetext); 


The regular expression that are used can be configured in the admin options.

Compatibility
Since this product only uses two hooks (newreply_post_quote and newreply_quote) it should work on any VB version that supports those hooks. Be aware that other plugins that also rewrite quotes with those hooks might conflict with this product. (Simply test yourself)

How to add more replacements
Go to Admin -> Options -> Quote Improvements and add this as new line in the regular expression field:

/BLA/i || BLUB

This will replace any "BLA" with "BLUB" in quotes.

1) Will this affect smiles?

--- Think it would be best if it did not.

2) Can you apply this to videos?
