UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods [6.2] Quote Username 1.0

Mod Name / Version - Quote Username 1.0

Description - This modification shows who you are quoting.

Working Under - UBB.Threads 6.2

Pre-requisites - none

Author - JoshPet - www.joshuapettit.com

Credits - BryanDS for requesting it

Files Altered - newreply.php

Database Altered - none

New Files - none

NOTE: This stores the name of the person being quoted with the quote (in the message body). It's simple, and you can edit, but it won't change if the person being quoted changes their username. On the upside, it's a very simple tweak. No worse than the person typing the name in the message.

I tested this out but its weird as nothing changes. The name and the word said do not appear. I see where the variable $ResUsername is called throughout the file and it should work but if I quote nothing but the regular quote happens.

Hmmm.... That's all I changed. Are you sure you uploaded the file.

You can test it here:

It works if I uploaded it to the right place.

LOL

AWESOME!!!!!!!! ThankYOU Josh!!!!!

Actually modified this a bit to look more aesthetically loverly ;-)


# From this:


// ---------------------------------------------------------------
// If we are quoting then we need to wrap the body in quote markup
$QuoteBody = "";
if ($q == 1) {
$QuoteBody = $html -> undo_markup($Body);
$QuoteBody = str_replace("<br />","\n",$QuoteBody);
$QuoteBody = "[{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]$ResUsername said:\n$QuoteBody [/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]";


_________

Everything stays the same except this line
_________


$ResUsername said:[/i][/b]\n \n$QuoteBody [/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]";

_________


All it does is add a spacer between "Username said" and the actual quote body.

-B

[]$ResUsername said:[/i][/b]\n \n$QuoteBody [/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]";[/]
Or you could use something like:

[:"red"]From the big mouth of $ResUsername:[/]...



Warm regards

The things you can do with this ;-)

Yeah, it's an easy tweak to customize how you like it to look.

My users are enjoying it.

Yet another awesome hack Josh, thanks!
