Quick Quote!

Howdy,

This hack will allow you to reply directly (with a quote) to any post in a thread without having to load the newreply page.. In each post will be a small "QuickQoute" radio button.. When you click it a reply box will instantly drop down below that post allowing you to reply with a quote in the thread itself.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

in the new addon which is great im trying sumthin like this

// Add tags around selection
emoticon( '[ quote]Originally posted by $post[username] at $post[posttime]\n' + theSelection + '\n[/ quote]\n');
document.post.message.focus();
theSelection = '';

is there any way of me getting this to werk ?

[Floris]

Damn, this is getting better and better !!

Corsa: I don't think so, as there's no way for the java to tell which post it is... It just knows the page text..

[gwhooooey]

Thanks, that fixed it...

You said...Known issues: Doesn't work with Mozilla or Opera browsers. It works fine with internet explorer and variants

Although I'm using Avant Browser which I think is the new Opera...and it works fine for me

Known issues: This doesn't work with mozilla browsers.. Clicking the QuickQuote button simply won't do anything. It works fine with Internet Explorer and Opera.

Not for what i'm talking about

[Oblivion Knight]

Just wondering if the attached file will help you towards having a "QuickQuote" button, that once pressed will automatically insert the quote into Quick Reply box instead of your selection method.. The file was created for use with UBB, so I'd understand if it was totally useless trying to get something similar to work with vB..

Keep on developing it, if you manage to hit the sweet spot with such a mod suggested above, this will be one popular mod to install..

Oblivion Knight

One question, why hard code the colors?

One question, why hard code the colors?

Thanks for pointing that out. And actually, the colors weren't hardcoded when I first uploaded the instructions.. But when I used vb.org's "edit attachment" feature it somehow replaced all the {firstaltcolor } & {secondaltcolor } tags in the hack instructions with the colors from this forum.

Anyway, its fixed now.. Just clear your browser cache and redownload the instructions.



Oblivion Knight, Thanks, I'll take a look.
