I found some errors with the AutoQuote instructions. Since I couldn't post to this thread over the weekend due to database errors you can find the details here. Thanks!

I've updated the instructions. The lines that you are looking for are located at lines 569 and 661 in an unmodified version of ubbt.inc.php.

I've installed this hack on my 6.0.2 forums and all seemd to be fine with it. It works fine in "flat" mode, I can "quote" a reply, but when I went to "threaded" mode, the word quote isn't a hyperlink like it is when in flat mode. the word quote shows up, the quote image shows up, but I can't click on quote to quote a reply. Any suggestions, I'm a relative "noob" with threads, but have used and hacked many a UBB Classic and Vbulletin forum on my site.

Make sure you follow PART FIVE. Looks like you left out Step 2 which formats the image and the text into a link.

DOH! Now I know why I shouldn't answer the phone when in the middle of applying even a simple hack..... <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> thanks for the reply....

any update on if this works with 6.1 beta? My users are complaining, they miss the quick quote feature.

I'm waiting until the final version of 6.1 is released before I invest time in re-writing this. The only reason is, I've been screwed in the past when code was changed significantly from one beta version to the next and I don't want to have to rewrite this twice. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Yeah, I know, I'm lazy. <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />

It does work just fine with the beta....Running it over at http://stormchat.com/ubbthreads No problems at all yet..... <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">posted by msula:</font><hr /> any update on if this works with 6.1 beta?

Yeah this v2.0 works on the 6.1 beta. Don't use the v2.0.2 that is floating around these boards somewhere, as it does NOT work on 6.1

I haven't had a chance to do any testing on v6.1. I plan on upgrading my testboard this weekend, however. I think I'm going to just install a clean version and then reapply the various hacks that I have installed. I think in the long-run it'll be easier that way.

That's what I've been doing for two days now. Got most of the hacks I use running fine on 6.1 except for the calendar hack, which I'm stuck on the upgrading of.

Hey Wraith, Is there any way to limit the amount of quotes on one post?? I love autoquote but it got to be too much fun for the users playing an seeing how long a quote they could do. And also, when the quotes do get too long it's not wrapping the lines of the box and it causes folks to have to scroll right to see the entire post. Is there a way to handle that?? BTW, notice I said..... I love AutoQuote.....hehe <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

The autoQuote does place a <blockquote> tag in each time, so those could be counted and if a preset limit is already reached, don't let them quote again. Just shoot them an error instead.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond on this one. I've been away for a while. I think that it might be possible to count the number of <blockquote> tags; however, other codes also use the <blockquote> and it may give a false reading. What you really need is some sort of iterative counter, though how that would be implemented is a bit beyond me.<br /><br />I haven't had a chance to upgrade to 6.1 yet. Hopefully I will have some time this evening to at least get my testboard up and running. I'll see what I can do and post any updates in the Beta forum.

No problem Wraith...... Thanks!! I look forward to it!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm having a tough time getting the auto quote hack to work with 6.1 final. Part 7 3a does not exist in the ubbt.inc.php file (I'm using the original,unmodified file).<br /><br />Thanks in advance to anyone who lends me a hand, my users really like this hack! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have it working just fine on my 6.1 final. Hmm...

Hey Msula....<br /><br />I was lookin' around your site and couldn't find anywhere that people are using the autoquote more than once in thread / post. I tried it before at my site and the folks loved it. However, I had a problem with them using it over and over to play games so that posts were a full page long and causing people to have to scroll right..... Did you find a way around this problem or are the people there just more mature? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We had one thread where someone discovered the neat effect of the quote with a quote within a quote feature.. I let it go on to see the limits, and eventually deleted the thread and informed them not to do it again.<br /><br />So far they have been behaved <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
