Quote User Back Link (QUBL)

[hww]

Hi Erik,

Does this MOD (1) store the user_id instead of the username; and/or (2) display the quoted user's username in the appropriate group colour?

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, the quoted user's username will be a link to his or her profile, won't it? So it'll be in the colour used for standard links according to the style/theme used?

1) No it doesn't store the user_id but just takes the user name. In the future I might change this to keep the usernames working when it gets changed but that will require a lot more edits.

2) Yes correctly, it will display as the username links in the profile fields on the proSilver styles on the topic pages. So in the correct group colour and linking to the profile.

Thanks for the reply, Erik. I literally just finished installing the MOD when I received notification of your reply

1) No it doesn't store the user_id but just takes the user name. In the future I might change this to keep the usernames working when it gets changed but that will require a lot more edits.

I might see if I can get things working using user_id while I have some time over Easter. Your old Advanced Quoting MOD (posted in STG) stored user_id, if I remember rightly? I might take a look and see if I'm able to 'merge' some of your code from that MOD into functions_qubl.php

I suppose I'd need to take a look at posting.php as well.

That is correct, but storing the id caused some problems which you have to keep in mind (deleted users, non-existing users).
There is though a story behind it . I'm still planning to restart on my Advanced Quoting MOD, but currently I don't have the time to do so therefore I'm releasing it in parts and may release the full package later on.

hello Erik! I just want to say to you just coded a very cool MOD!

Anyway, I just want to ask something,

Let's say I will use the quote without quoting from others, the preview will give "Guess wrote", what if I want to remove that if I'm not quoting other's post.
Because, sometimes other users use the Quote function to design their post.

Thank you very much to your reply. GodBless.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? (I currently don't have a local installation to check this).

ooops. Sorry, I need a grammer here.

Ok here is what I mean: (let's see what my lil paint can do )



At situation No.1 , Here is what will happen if we will quote someone's post.
e.g.

Code: Select all

[quote="THE POSTER"][/quote]

At situation No.2, this is what will happen if we will only use quote without the poster tag. The Poster name will be replaced by guess.

What I want is to remove the Guess wrote: text. Because sometimes, other users of my forum is using the quote tag for making their post more attractive.

Sorry, I am always sleeping in our English Class.
If you can't still understand something, feel free to ask it. I am willing to make more visual

Thanks!

This mod is great but I seem to be having a problem.

Every new quote looks like this:

[Username of the person]& Qpbl Wrote In: [name of thread]:

The [Username of the person] and the [name of the thread] for the quote are correct but why does it say "& Qpbl" ?

Ah yeah, that is pretty dirty. This should fix it, I haven't tested this in detail but I don't expect problems here.
Open: includes/mods/functions_qubl.php; Find:

Code: Select all

$username_clean = utf8_clean_string($username); 

After-add:

Code: Select all

    // Return when the username is empty.
    if (empty($username_clean))
    {
        return;
    }

This is due to a change I missed when creating the install file for my other MOD. The fix for this is posted in the development topic of my Quote Post Back Link MOD.

Thank you very much boss Erik. It is working now.

[Erik Frèrejean]

Glad to hear that, I've just submitted a new release that fixes this problem.

I am very glad that I somehow become a part of this.

Good Day!

Hi, I need some help, in the instructions, it says:

#FIND:

Code: Select all

}

Well... that sort of narrows it down

Where do I have to do the ADD, AFTER?

[Erik Frèrejean]

And your question is?
