Name: AutoQuote v2.0

Description: Allow your users to reply to a message while quoting someone. Lets the user just click on a link/icon and it will automatically put the tags around the body of the message that they want to quote.

Updates: Moved all HTML into templates. Modified code to be XHTML compliant.

Example: http://www.terranbbs.com/testboard/ubbthreads.php (Username: test / Password: test)

Link: http://www.terranbbs.com/ubb/mods/6.0/AutoQuote.txt

Special Thanks: AllenAyers, poil, and razvan for getting me started, and JustDave for helping me with the bug fixes.

Just a note... I believe the <hr> tags need to be <hr /> to be xhtml compliant too.

Yep, missed that one. I've fixed the instructions file.

good job. But what I don't understand is why this isn't a standard feature for threads?

Believe me, that's a question I've been asking for quite some time. Especially since it's a feature in UBB.classic

*shrug*

Only Scream can answer that one.

Thanks for this. Works great...

Ian.

I agree

Glad 'ya both like it. One of my few actual contributions to the software.

As you can see, there is a problem with it as it is right now: Its not language dependent.
You should be using [:"red"]{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}[/] instead of hardcoded "
[:"blue"] quote [/] .

For example, though I havent tested it, I think:
[:"blue"] $quote = ""; [/]
should be changed to:
[:"red"] $quote = "[{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}=$ResUsername] $Body2 [/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]"; [/]

That should work. I'll test it out later this afternoon when I'm at home and I have access to my computer.

Seems to work just fine. I've updated the instructions accordingly.

Hi,

I've obtained the autoquote from http://www.terranbbs.com/ubb/mods/6.0/AutoQuote.txt. However, there seems to be a problem. In part seven, you're supposed to open ubbt.inc.php and edit the ///quote markup. However, I can't find the exact lines in my ubbt.inc.php. Could anyone please help me? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Unless you are using the v6 final code, your lines will be different, they changed from the last beta to the final coding.

umm.. yeah, i'm using the final code... dunno why!

fixed that..
what does this supposed to mean?

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/www/e46toronto/forum/newreply.php on line 253

Same problem here. My problem is that I installed the MarkUpHack, and that has you change the whole section from ubbt.inc.php that the autoquote hack also asks you to change. (That's why the lines aren't there.)

I have both installed and haven't run into any problems. Can you show me what you put into your newreply.php at that line location?

I was slow hitting the continue button after I typed that. Sorry! I actually meant I had the previous problem. I don't know where to put in the "Quote Markup" stuff because those lines are no longer in my ubbt.inc.php.

In a clean ubbt.inc.php file the quote markup sections are found beginning at lines 569 and 661.

Could you please tell me how you added those lines to ubbt.inc.php when you have MarkUpHack installed? Thanks!

I have the MarkAllRead hack installed that only works on an entire board basis. I haven't installed the second revision that will mark each forum as read individually. I'll take a look though and see If I can spot where they can be reconciled.

Okay, maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see where ubbt.inc.php is modified as part of the MarkAllRead hack. Either with v6.0 or v6.1. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or not, but the lines that I instruct you to replace are there in the clean version of UBB.threads and I don't see anywhere in either v6.0 or v6.1 of the MarkAllRead hack that you're instructed to remove them or modify them.

Can you explain a little bit about the steps you've taken so far?

Oh, actually Lisa and I are talking about MarkUpHack not MarkAllRead! hehehe..

Okay, that makes better sense. LOL, I really need to stop copying JustDave and quit staying up until 3:00 AM. It's starting to affect my brain.

Okay, what I would do is look for the following line :

code:
    function do_markup($Body="") {

---

Add the lines from Part Seven - Step 2b after that.

Then, look for this line :

code:
    function undo_markup($Body="") {

---

Add the lines from Part Seven - Step 3b after that.

Can you please tell me how should I fix this?

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/www/e46toronto/forum/newreply.php on line 253

The first line is my 250...

code:
 // ------------------------------------ 
// No options, we use the board default 
   else { 
      if ( ($HTML == "Off") && ($Markup == "On") ) { 
         $markupselect = "<input type="hidden" name="convert" value="markup" />"; 
      } 
      elseif ( ($HTML == "On") && ($Markup == "On") ) { 
         $markupselect ="<input type="hidden" name="convert" value="both" />"; 
      } 
      elseif ( ($HTML == "Off") && ($Markup == "Off") ) { 
         $markupselect ="<input type="hidden" name="convert" value="none" />"; 
      } 
      else { 
         $markupselect = "<input type="hidden" name="convert" value="html" />"; 
      } 
   } 
 
   if ($quote) { 
   $Body2 = ereg_replace(""",""",$Body); 
   $Body2 = ereg_replace("<br />","\n",$Body2); 
   $Body2 = $html -> undo_markup($Body2); 
   $quote = "[{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}=$ResUsername]$Body2[/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]"; 
   } 
 
   if ($postername != $ubbt_lang['ANON_TEXT']) { 
      $emailselect = " 
         <input type="checkbox" name="mail" value="1" $Eselected class="formboxes" /> 
         {$ubbt_lang['DO_EMAIL']} 
         <br /><br />

yes, that will do it

I am now having the same problem stano is having. After going to 6.0.1 and re-applying the hack its broken. Getting a parse error for this:

$quote = "[{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}=$ResUsername]$Body2[/{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_QUOTE']}]";

Weird. I upgraded to 6.0.1 without any problems. There isn't anything in that line that would be causing a parse error that I can see. I'll look into it some more and see if I can come up with anything.

Try to put a blank before and after $Body2

Ack, you're right. I didn't even notice that. I ran into the same problem when I first did it and I forgot to update the instructions. I'll fix them when I get home to include the spaces around $Body2

Just thought I'd make a note that the conflicting lines have been sorted out in the new version of my MarkupHack. The markup won't be exactly the same, but it should be adequate I think.

The new hack can be found in this thread.

Instructions have been updated to reflect correct spacing. They can be downloaded at the link in the first post.
