Quote breaker addon

[djbaxter]

MarkFL (what ever happened to him?) had a neat little addon for vBulletin 4 called Quote Breaker.

Basically, this allowed you to drop into code mode when you were quoting a longer post and easily break up the original quote to respond to specific portions sort of "inline".

It did this by inserting the /quote closing tag at your cursor and then dropping down a couple of lines to re-add the original opening quote tag.

Just a simple little addon but some of my members, not to mention myself, found this to be very handy at times.

Could anyone here have a go at creating something similar for Xenforo 2.2?

You can just hit enter inside a quote to break it at the moment can't you?

 

[djbaxter]

No. That just breaks you out of the quote to reply but it doesn't split up the quote as described above.

I got you here. Once I'm settled in my new position in the coming month I'll look into doing this one with other free addons I intend to release.

How is this not breaking up the quote to make it easy to reply to each point?



I don't understand what that add-on does differently.

Why did you quote me on this?! I know I didn't spell it out loud not to quote me on this, but I was definitely thinking it!

Don't quote me on this bit either. Or else.

 

[djbaxter]

I didn't realize quotes worked that way. Thank you.

If anyone is wondering how to insert blank lines into a quote without breaking out - hold Shift and press Enter.

QED

If I decided to switch from VB 4.5.2 to XF - Some question

I know I am going to be upgrading or changing as VB4 is past end of life and no longer being actively supported. The question is whether to upgrade to VB5 or move to something else, like XF. With that in mind, I have some initial questions (Will probably have more) 1. Can VB4 data be easily...

Hi,

how can we do this on mobile?

I use quotes a lot in my forum, to source external information. And this inability to insert blank lines into the quote is absolutely driving me crazy.

I mainly use mobile, and this "hold shift" trick doesn't work.

Switch to bb code mode.

Switch to bb code mode.

Aw damnn. It's what I've been doing (and what's been frustrating me)

Would an add-on be able to modify the necessary code to implement the feature on mobile? Or is it a behavior that even an add-on can't modify?

Thanks for the extremely quick response btw, appreciate it.
