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.

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 above. 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

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 ?

Mist & Corsacrazy,
I'm not sure if I can do that or not, but I'll gladly give it a try this weekend.. I've spent the past 2 days just trying to figure out how to make the postid variable work with the javascript function. Turns out it was as simple as adding a prefix to the variable. Doh!

[corsacrazy]

sounds gr8 mate thanks alot

I like Mist's suggestion too.
Hopefully this hack gets better and bigger
