if [quote], prepend \n\n to $newpost[message]

[whodah]

heya!

i'd like to prepend

$newpost[message]

w/ a couple of carriage returns if the first entry in

$newpost[message]

is the quote bbcode
[/code][quote...[/code]

thus, when someone clicks 'quote' and it goes to the editor to type in your message, the quote is 2 or 3 lines down rather than on the 1st line.

any tips on where i might be able to edit this variable:

$newpost[message]

thanks!

Think you would best of by hacking the functions_bbcodeparse.php for that.

[whodah]

would that then induce the new lines on all quotes? (as opposed to just the first one when a user clicks 'quote')

i.e. if someone quotes 5 things in one reply, come parse time, wouldn't each of the 5 quotes have extra carriage returns?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Probably yes, unless you code a test for it.

[whodah]

oh geez. the solution was VERY simple if anyone else wants to do this. i betcha it's on the forums somewhere, i just didn't know what to search for and it's difficult searching for array variables w/ how the search engine parses them...

at any rate, edit template:
newpost_quote
from:

(note extra carriage returns)

then when anyone hits 'quote' or replies to a PM w/ a quote, the quote starts however many lines down u entered above.

edit:
yikes... the code/quote combo freaks out my reply...

just edit that tempate and add carriage returns as you see fit... really easy!
