XF 2.3 Allow user to quote reply from a forum where they have only have viewing privileges

[christisking]

Hopefully the subject makes sense.

We have a set of users who are only allowed to post in section A, but they are allowed to read section A B C D, etc.

They have requested the ability to generate a quote reply from the sections they are not allowed to post in, so they can post it in their own area.

I've looked at the user/group/node permissions and I don't see an obvious way to do this, but I am somewhat new to XF so I might be missing something.

It would require custom development.

The quote option is not available for forums which members cannot post in.

They can, of course, work around it in a somewhat clunky way. I guess the need to buy a custom development would depend on how frequently this happens.
e.g.

In this post @christisking said

and I can suggest a workround.

They can put the username in bbcode after copy and paste

[QUOTE=“username”]text[/QUOTE]

The entire quote can be crafted manually, including the link to the post, but I suspect almost all members are not going to bother doing that.
