In some other forums, I have seen a quote bubble over a quoted text, which takes you straight to the original post no matter how much or how little of it has been quoted This is excellent for those cases where you might have quoted only part of a post but wish to refer to the original from which it was taken, in order to read the whole post, for instance Is that feature possible in vbulletin?
It should be possible as when you use the QUOTE button, you will find that often it states the username, semicolon and then number. The number is the actual POST number. So it already inputs what is required to identify the post. Admittedly it would require an Administrator to look carefully at the QUOTE BBCODE, and either alter the original (Which might require a hardcode hack) or generate a secondary version to replace the first with.
Actually I've been looking into it further, the standard VBulletin forums have this by default. This forum might have lost it's capacity to during it's infancy as it ran lesser versions that didn't initially include it. I will try to find out the reason why it's missing and pass it onto Plazma. It might well be down to it being missed from the template: bbcode_quote Code: <div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; <if condition="$show['iewidthfix']">width: 100%;</if>"> <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">$vbphrase[quote]:</div> <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset"> <if condition="$show['username']"> <div> <phrase 1="$username">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase> [COLOR="Blue"]<if condition="$postid"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[view_post]" /></a></if>[/COLOR] </div> <div style="font-style:italic">$message</div> <else /> $message </if> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Obviously this would require a viewpost.gif image located in /images/buttons (technically one already exists but is using default Vbulletin colours)
Sounds like a good idea. Would increase clarity for reference. Another good idea would be embedded video. Thank you.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
