Add-on Nested qoutes

[Sunka]

I need that someone create addon for nested quotes.

In XF1 we could change code in library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/Post.php and we can have nested quotes in posts.

Find:

$quote = $postModel->getQuoteTextForPost($post);

Replace:

$quote = $postModel->getQuoteTextForPost($post, -1);

I could pay 10 dollars for that

Do you mean nested quotes like:

If so, that's already in the core in XF2 (if it wasn't in XF1).

@Robust
as you can see, when I qouted post, it not included quote what already inside that post.

So, it quote

test

but it should be

We don’t support nested quotes.

Ah OK, I see now. The wording was unclear to me initially.

Go to XF2_root/src/XF/Str/Formatter.php
Comment out line 671.

So the function should now look like:

That is working
Thanks @Robust

Any downside of this?

Also, there is no way to do that with addon?
I have to comment that line every time when I upgrade xenforo

Well, the purpose of that line is to strip quotes from BBCode when preparing a quote (hence to prevent the nested quotes effect you are aiming to keep).

The function above is called 3 times:

• Conversations
• Threads
• Posts

It's also likely 3rd party add-ons would use this.

As long as the above functionality is what you want in all 3 of these areas, then no, there's no downsides to you.

\XF\Str\Formatter can be extended so yes, you can do this exact thing with an add-on (I would recommend using an add-on). You'd need to enable development mode, create an add-on and extend the class and override the function.

Yep, if it only allow nested quotes, than that is what I want.

It is beyond my knowledge.

Anyone have time and knowledge to do this little addon and share with us?

I do not know is it 10 Dollars enough or not enough for this kind of addon
Any thoughts - @Xon @au lait @NixFifty @Snog @cclaerhout @BassMan @AddonsLab ...

 

[Ozzy47]

TBH, this type of addon sounds like it is right up @AndyB's alley.

 

[Sunka]

It looks that this kind of addon is worth more than 10 dollars?

 

[ToyBoxOrphan]

Okay if I comment out that line, quotes will nest forever though right? Is there a way to put a limit on it?

 

[ToyBoxOrphan]

Anyone? I could possibly throw in some money along with @Sunka .

I rolled it up in to an add-on: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/nested-quotes.6251/

then no, there's no downsides to you.
