This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.6.4 Rating: (3 votes - 4.67 average) Installs: 59
Released: 18 Aug 2006 Last Update: 07 Dec 2006 Downloads: 135
Not Supported Code Changes  

UPDATE 12/7/06: The hack is updated with CoreIssue's code edit mentioned in the posts. It's more simple and you only add one line to it. Tested on vb3.6.4 so it now works fine!

Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Time take to install: 15 seconds

Version Info
v1.01 Hack updated with CoreIssue simple file edit. Should work with all version of vb now.
v1.0 Initial Release

I made a suggestion on vb.com but it seems like the developers are not interested. But then a nice member rossco2005 helped me out since we both like the idea to have nested quote feature in our boards WHEN we click on the Quote button. Nested quotes are used in phpbb and IB forums. Nested quotes are used in VB's private message area, but for some reason they wont work for the forums.

So let me show you an example on how this works. Let say i made this post.

------Post #1------
There are 11 planets in our solar system
-------------------

And if someone (let say Bot) click on the Quote button and submit a new post it should turn out like this

------Post #2------

Welcome!
--------------------

But if another person (let say Bot1) hit the quote button for that previous post it will return this

------Post #3------
Originally Posted by Bot

You guys are both rong idiots!
--------------------

But instead we want it to turn like this when we click on the quote button

------Post #3-------

Get the picture?

So here is the code modification on how to put nested quotes on your forums.

Files to edit: functions.php

In file functions.php, find:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Easy as cake! Go thank CoreIssue for this easy hack =]

Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.01
Replace the original functions.php from vb and then perform the edits.

Anyways i hope this is useful for peeps who need nest quotes. If someone can make it more advanced, like into a product or plugin, go ahead =]. I was hoping this can be built into the vb admin panel and lets u control how many nested quotes are allow per post, so that u dunt need to edit the file every upgrade or edit the file whenever u want to change the amount of nested quotes.

Very nicely done. I don't understand why Jelsoft didn't do this to begin with. Great job.

Works great! Sucks that it's a file edit but it's too good of a feature not to do it.

I agree that it should of been a default feature. I thought multi quote would of been able to cover this in some way, but oh well. Great job on this, if decide to put it in I'll click the install button for you.

It can, but you'd need to cut and paste the second (and third...) quote into the first.

And Jim's text is here after both of yours...
But it's nifty to have it as a default.

Edit: Installed and works perfectly. See http://worldwartwozone.com/forums/ci....html#post2126 for an example.
