Multiquote

Multiquote

Credits
This is a port of the vB 3.0.X-Version of Multiquote made by Chroder - all credits to him and Hoffi for the images.

Description (copy & paste as I am lazy )
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.

This Hack is not designed to work with Quick Reply, it also does not quote the last post of a Thread if you click the New Reply button, as this button is meant to reply without quoting the last post.

OK... Found another "issue". If you select the multiquote on the last post in a thread, it isn't included.

I guess you clicked the big Reply-Button which sets noquote for the last Post?

That's ok. A lot of people do that anyway. Ideally, it would show in the QR box for edit before the post is submitted, but if that's not doable, the other option would work.

Yeah... So what to do? If I use "quote" on the last post, it puts it in front of all the older quotes.

Should be doable with AJAX, but I am not yet familiar with this so it might take some time.

For the moment I changed it so that the Postorder will always be correct and that the Big Reply Button also quotes the last Post if it was selected for MQ. I think this might make more sense.
An update will be released soon.

OK, I currently got Support for QR this way:
If Posts are selected for MQ and "Quote Message in Reply" is checked the Quotes will be on Top of the Post (Order depends on User Setting Oldest or Newest First), the Reply is below them.
If "Quote message in reply" is not checked they will not appear in the Post, but they will still be selected for MQ.
Furthermore, the MQ Icon for the quoted Posts does not change after an AJAX Post, only if you reload the Page - i'll try to get them reset too.

Does this behaviour make sense?

[Biker_GA]

Ummmmmmmmm. No? LOL "Quote message in reply".. As in the check on QR?

[Andreas]

No, I am talking about the Checkbox below the QR Editor.
Which global setting do you mean?

[Biker_GA]

I changed it. LMAO

I think I see how it works... Oh hell. Make the changes. I'll delete, reload and test. Why not? I've busted just about everything else on my site today.

Yes. Makes sense to me. We can always tweak it as necessary.
