Introduction
This multiquote hack allows your members to select multiple posts to quote from. These posts can be on a different page, in a different thread, or on an entirely different forum. Don't worry, the hack checks to make sure the user has read permissions on the post so no sneaky members can insert random post ID's in hopes to find what's going on in your secret staff forums.
What's new in this "version 2"?
Better programmed!
"Go Advanced" works with Quick Reply
Fixed the bug with IE not "turning on" the MQ icons when re-viewing a thread with MQ'd posts.
Included vB3-styled icons (I just resized the images posted by Hoffi -- thanks Hoffi!)
Overview
vB files to modify: 1 (newreply.php)
Templates to modify: 2 (SHOWTHREAD, postbit)
Phrases to create: 1 (multiquote)
Files to upload: 3 (2 images, 1 Javascript file)
(Included missing Javascript file from post #75. Sorry for the delays, I don't come around often!)

I have problems with my who's online and I am troubleshooting. Since I see in this hack you are using a different set of cookie, could that affect vb cookie for who's online?
What issues are you having with WOL? This hack shouldn't do anything like that. It sets its own cookie prefix_multiquote, which vB obviously doesn't use anywhere else.

it generates a javascript (object) error
Where and when (like just clicking one, or clicking the second one, clicking after refresh etc)? Make sure you do a hard refresh on any sites that were using the old hack to ensure you have the most recent Javascript file in your cache.

Chroder, this looks like a fantastic mod... I just can not get it to work... I just updated my board to Ver 3.0.3 and then installed your mod. There are no images added to the posts to click on for the multi quote option... Am I missing something..?
If there are no images added to the posts, then it could be two things. One, if you are using the legacy postbit (the verticle layout), then you will need to edit the postbit_legacy and add in the images. Or two, you edited a template in a different skin that you aren't using.
Sorry for the late reply guys, I've been busy with other matters lately.
OK, you answered my question. This hack is fantastic and I would have hated to remove it. In the meantimes, who's online is still not working. I will be focusing on another hack, whom I believe might be the culprit.
Yup, it's working on my site now; it was simply that I didn't modify the postbit_legacy template. Thanks for pointing that out, Chroder.
One little problem, though: sometimes when I quote a post, old quotes from completely different threads I multiquoted previously will show up in the message box. Nothing major, but somewhat annoying - and confusing - when it happens. I assume there is a cache or something somewhere that's not being cleared when you move on to another thread.
hmm..... Aren't we missing the javascript file (.js)? It seems like that's the only thing missing and that could be why it doesn't work on my forums, lol (click but nothing happens)
Edit: Ok, so it's in a different post... but shouldn't you update that archive in the first post?
Also, can you let it be able to put the quotes in the quick reply box when you click on the multiquote button? That would be great. Then you can reply to each quote individually instead of the quotes stacked on top of each other and not seeing that until you post...
