Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. Some admins see no reason to quote the first/last post in the thread, as you are most likely replying to that post. Plus someone asked for the mod, and it was easy enough, so I threw it together.

nice idea, but if you can add a option first post, woud be nice too, because I don't why, but 75% my members quote first post, thx and installed of course :up:

[Action-N]

Yes I've noticed that too with posts. Only conclusion I can make is they like the quote button on the right side as the reply is way over to the left. Someone might have to test that theory by moving the reply button. Anyhow great idea for a mod, makes sense.

[Alan_SP]

This is excellent idea. :up:

Only thing I think would be also optional is multi quote, sometimes it could be useful to (multi) quote last post and compose it in your reply. So I think that there should be option to have multi quote included in last post.

First post is also interesting question, as many people quote whole first post, which sometimes is totally unnecessary.

And idea about changing places of quick reply and quote buttons, its easily done by manual template edit.

Edit postbit_legacy (probably its the same for postbit) template, find this:

<vb:if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
						<a id="qr_{vb:raw post.postid}" class='quickreply' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply}</a> 
					<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">
						<a id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}"><img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" />  <vb:if condition="$post['forwardlink']">{vb:rawphrase reply_to_private_message}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}</vb:if></a> 
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>

And change they places, so you have this:

					<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">
						<a id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}"><img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" />  <vb:if condition="$post['forwardlink']">{vb:rawphrase reply_to_private_message}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}</vb:if></a> 
					<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
					</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
						<a id="qr_{vb:raw post.postid}" class='quickreply' href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}"><img id="replyimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase quick_reply_to_this_message}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply}</a> 
					<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
					</vb:if>

You need to observe this last condition about multiquote, it needs to be at the end, as you don't need it if there's no multiquote option.

I can add the option for multi quote in the next version. And thanks for marking as installed.

[Alan_SP]

Well, I'm one of those who are allergic about quoting previous post, so your mod is excellent for me. :up:

[Alan_SP]

I found one problem, not too big, but still to report it.

If it's used with DBTech's AJAX (live) threads and there's more and more new "live" posts, all these new posts, including the last one when you entered thread don't have quote button.

It can be a bit of a problem. If there's a way to check if post is posted with live thread mod and in that case allow it to have quote button, it would be great.

[ozzy47]

Do the same results happen, if you refresh the page manually?

[tme_power]

Nice one, very practical, but won't install because it'll make user confuse when they want to quote the last post.
