Remove Extra Quotes From PMs

Heres a quickie hack that will remove any extra quotes from PMs when you reply to them.

It will save you (and your users) time from deleting them yourself and also reduce the size of your PM Db

Example:

The first quote

becomes

The first quote

OK open up 'private.php' in your favourite editor then goto line 542, which should have:

PHP Code:

    eval("\$message[message] = \"".gettemplate("priv_reply",1,0)."\";");
  } else {
    $message = array();
  } 


and just above that place this

PHP Code:

    $message[message] = trim(preg_replace("~\[[b][/b]quote\](.*)\[/quote\]~si", "", $message[message])); 


Its as easy as that!

Enjoy!

Nice! It doesn't make any difference with quotes in the Quick PM Reply hack, however.

Is it working ok on 2.3.0 now?

Yes, it's working perfectly on my 2.3.0 RC3

Nice Hack, but when you forward a message containing "quote", the "quote" should remain all. Otherwise what forward is?

[julius]

If you want to reply with the hack and to forward without the hack, you have instead to put the code

PHP Code:

$message[message] = trim(preg_replace("~\[quote\](.*)\[/quote\]~si", "", $message[message])); 


just under this

PHP Code:

      $subject="Re: $message[title]";

Don't you mean to put it under this?

$subject="Fw: ".$message[title];

No, I checked, it's correct as I wrote.
