vB Quote

I believe that tagging syntax on forums should generally be as simple as possible, as most people aren't really coders.
MyBB generally conforms well to this (tags are generally quite simple), except the new quote tag introduced in MyBB 1.4.

Personally, something like this is a bit too much code IMO:

Code:

[quote='Joe' pid='13892' dateline='1239871234987' some_other_crap='98j2983j4ad']

---

...and the user probably doesn't really know the reasoning behind everything.
This plugin turns something like the above to something similar to vB quoting, like:

Code:

[quote=Joe;13892]

---

which, IMO, is much simpler and nicer.

This plugin also has a few other features:

• [ and ] characters in usernames don't break up the quote
• username will automatically be updated if a user's username gets changed
• user profile link in quote
  

The package includes a MyBB 1.4 and a MyBB 1.6/1.8 version.  Ensure you upload the correct .php file to your inc/plugins/ folder.
Note that the MyBB 1.4 version doesn't handle [ and ] characters completely right, whereas the 1.6 version does.


Update on 19th May, 2010: Also note: it may be possible for users to gain some information about posts in hidden forums/threads/posts by playing around with the pid in the quote.  I haven't implemented any protection against this in this plugin, but I don't really think this is really that big of an issue as they can only really get the timestamp and user who made the post but not the content.

Update on 4th Jan, 2011: This plugin won't modify existing quotes in any way, eg, it won't change the syntax or style of quotes made before this plugin was activated.

It worked! Thanks Is there a problem with this plugin or something?

Glad you can solve the problem

Not quite sure, you need to wait Yumi/ZiNgA to reply.

The plugin copies all MyBB functionality and limits a number of variables to local scope.
Haven't tried, but maybe try this:
find:

PHP Code:

function HideToGuests_xmlhttp_multiquote() { global $mybb, $db;

---

replace with:

PHP Code:

function HideToGuests_xmlhttp_multiquote() { global $mybb, $db, $parser, $message;

---

[Sama34]

Yes, it worked replacing than ZiNgA BuRgA, thank you. Thanks to RateU too

I have installed those two plugins:

Code:

Preparser Cache (1.11) imei Page Optimizer! (1.0.1)

---

The code is show when quoting and editing, but it isn't there when I reload the page.

Is there any problem regarding any of the above plugins?

(Preparser Cache (1.11) is installed but deactivated)

I read there is a issue with Preparser Cache (1.11) but I didn't find the solution/information about it.

Thanks for helping

Preparser cache will work with it.
I don't know about the page optimiser plugin.

[Sama34]

Thanks Zinga Burga, it was the imei Page Optimizer plugin, can you find the problem please? If not, don't worry, it is not than necessary anyways

Thanks again.

It's stripping out comments needed by this plugin.  Maybe try this, find:

PHP Code:

$plugins->add_hook("pre_output_page", "imeiPageOptimizer");

---

Replace with

PHP Code:

$plugins->add_hook("pre_output_page", "imeiPageOptimizer", 9999);
