Quick Quote II -Quote posts instantly in your Quick Reply box

Hi,

This is not an update to my other Quick Qoute hack. The other hack is a stand alone feature which works with or without the Quick Reply box.. This one does not..

To use this hack you MUST already have the Quick Reply box hack installed.

What does it do? This hack will allow you to instantly quote any post or multiple posts in your Quick Reply Box.

How it works: In the upper righthand corner of each post will be a small "QuickQoute" checkbox.. When you click it the text from that post and the original poster's username will automatically be inserted into your Quick Reply box with quote tags around it.

Improvements over the other "Quote Selected" add-on:

• Works with all browsers
• You can quote multiple posts
• No need to highlight any text. Posts are quoted instantly.
• Includes original poster's username

Very easy to install.. 1 file edit, 1 template edit, and 1 template to add.

Works with vB versions 2.2.X and 2.3.X.

Got a little problem. I cant find this code in my postbit template:

<smallfont>$post[icon] <b>$post[title]</b></smallfont>

EDIT:

I think it may be because we have our edit and quote buttons on the left side.

This is my boards here: http://www.advancedgamers.com/vbulle...2408#post32408

As you can see, we have a skin on it, so thats probably why I cant find that code. Any way around that?

Conroy,
Its just basic HTML so you can place the $quick_quote variable anywhere in your postbit template and it'll work. Just use table tags to align it where ever you want.
If you can't get it aligned just post the contents of your postbit template here and I'll add it for you.

Thanks, I got it working now.

FYI: In the interest of saving bandwidth I tested this by inserting the javascript code under the headinclude line in my showthread template instead of at the beginning of my postbit template. It functions that way as well, and in doing it that way, you don't have an instance of the same javascript source file being repeated with each and every post. It is only in your source once.

Thanks for the nice hack.

SWFans.net,
I'm not sure what you mean? Other than the onclick function, this hack doesn't put any javascript in the postbit template.

{edit} I think you're talking about Oblivion Knight's Anchor addon. I agree, it would be better to put the javascript in the showthread template so that its only loaded once.

Can you please tell me how to install this if I have the mist hackless quick reply? :ermm:

MadCat,
I already changed the name of your quickreply form to "vbform" so just install it exactly as the instructions in the first post say to and it should work.

Thank you!

When I try to make the checkbox be the img instead..i get javascript errors and nothing happens...any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind..i came up with a lil solution myself..
and here it is..i think its for those of us who are frustrated by java..

<FORM NAME="p$post[postid]" style="display:inline;">
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:1; visibility: hidden">

<textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="1" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1">[/QUOTE]Originally posted by $post[username]
 $quotetext [/QUOTE]

</textarea>
</div>
<A HREF="#iname$post[postid]" onclick="document.vbform.message.value = document.vbform.message.value + document.p$post[postid].elements[0].value"><img src="images/quotedown.gif" border="0" name="iname$post[postid]"></A>
</FORM>

there is my quickquote template... works pretty decently i think....tell me whatcha think...

Please note I added a '/' infront of the first quote to prevent it from doing the stupid quote box..
