and who want to have quotes sort of like the quotes here that link back to the specific post. (Note, if you don't have the multiquote hack installed, what is done at Vbulletin.org can be done as a template mod only. You don't need this hack for that.)
I will not support the original two hacks. You will need to have them working before you try to install mine.

I am back with an addon to the addon. This adds on to my version of the hack and not Boofo's. Boofo's is actually a better way to do what I did in the first part, I just didn't get around to changing to his version on my board.
However, this next part requires hacking the PHP files and cannot be done with just templates (Hopefully Boofo will prove me wrong on that one again )
What the addon does:
If you add a user field that gives the user's first name, this addon uses that name in the quote if it is set. If it isn't set, then it uses the username.
To install this addon, you need to know how to add a userfield and to figure out the field number. On my board, that field number is 6. However, it may be different on yours. You will need to modify this code accordingly.
I do not recommend this hack for beginners. It requires you to understand how to read code and modify it slightly.
You can use this addon with Boofo's version of the hack. You will just need to read the code to figure out exactly where to put the new lines.
This worked great except at first the post # wasn't showing up in the quote. So in the quote_reply template I changed this:
PHP Code:
[QUOTE][i]$postdate at $posttime [b]$originalposter [/b]said this in
[url {=} $bburl/showthread.php?postid=$postid#post$postid]Post #$post[$postid] [/url][/i]
[B]$pagetext [/B][/QUOTE]
To this:
PHP Code:
[QUOTE][i]$postdate at $posttime [b]$originalposter [/b]said this in
[url {=} $bburl/showthread.php?postid=$postid#post$postid]Post# $postid[/url][/i]
[B]$pagetext [/B][/QUOTE]
Changing the $post[$postid] at the end of the link to just $postid and it worked for me. Without the brackets in the url part of course.
Adding the time to the quote seems to have a problem with the datestamp hack, because when you quote it will quote today/yesterday, but as the days go by, the quote still says yesterday or today and you have to use the date of the actual post that is quoting the others as a point of refference. :tired:
