Miscellaneous Hacks - Who Quoted Me

In the user control panel, users can now see a list of the last few people who have quoted them.
This is a great way to encourage users to interact with each other as they can easily keep track of conversations within threads.


If you use this i would really appreciate any small donation

EDIT:
Looks like there a few bugs in this I dont have a computer at the moment but Freshfoot has made an updated release with some new features: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=30

well what the "p" does it it brings you DIRECTLY to the post, where as the "t" brings you directly to the post BUT allows you to see the whole thread.

I'm not sure what problem you are having exactly. can you PM me ur url so I can take a look.

If anyone else wants to use the method Wonksta did just do the following

PHP Code:

Go into your templates and edit the display_who_quoted_me templated

Find

<a href="showthread.php?t=$threadinfo[threadid]#post$whoquote[postid]">$threadinfo[title]</a>

REPLACE

<a href="showthread.php?p=$whoquote[postid]#post$whoquote[postid]">$threadinfo[title]</a> 


Cheers.

I was just thinking... I have reported posts auto create a thread on behalf of the reporter that gets posted in invisible and private Mod Room now the post contains a quote of the persons posts.

Will this Mod notify the user that they have been quoted in the Mod Room listing the title etc?

Very good point! I think most boards have post reports working as such.

I have installed the new version and it works!

bug: setting usergroups to 0 does not work. That turns it off.
sort of a bug: quoting yourself gives an alert.

The overview in usercp would look nicer if:
- the font would be smaller. (smallfont)
- display it like this:

Member_X quoted your post in the thread_title on [date;time]

Please make that all one line.

It would be nice if there were 2 different phrases for the notification:
1 member quoted you.
x members quoted you.

The latter being plural.

Below the 'Who Quoted Me' block, there should be some empty space. I have Paul M's modification installed to show a 'latest reputation given' block there and both blocks touch each other. There should be some distance. Adding a <br/> at the end of the usercp_who_quoted_me template resolves that.

I think that the link should really lead to the post where the quote is. The way to handle the target location that you have posted earlier in the thread should be in the xml.

Thank you!

I have reworked the usercp listing to the following:
display_who_quoted_me

<tr>
    <td class="alt1Active" width="80%">
        <a class="smallfont" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$whoquote[userid]">$whoquote[username]</a> <a class="smallfont"> quoted your post in the thread: </a> <a class="smallfont" href="showthread.php?p=$whoquote[postid]#post$whoquote[postid]"><b>$threadinfo[title]</b></a>
    </td>
    <td class="alt1Active">
    <div class="userinfo">
        <div class="smallfont">$whoquote[dateline] <span class="time">$whoquote[timeline]</span></div>
        </td>
</tr>

Looks better now IMHO.

Doesn't seem to notify me if someone quotes my post that contains links, it's a bit of a hit and miss when a URL is pasted. Can anyone check?

[FreshFroot]

I'll work on some of the suggestions later on.

As for the url thing.. it could be due to checks for if a post was replied too or not. I'm just guessing right now.

when you mean url does www.name.com work fine or is it a problem when you add http://
