[MOD] Quote to new topic
boo2:
Note: Using smf 2.0.2
Is anyone still supporting this mod?
I love this despite that it was a night mare to install. Parse is much easier for me to understand than the modifications.xml and the install didn't actually change or put the new file where it belonged, so I had to do it all by hand anyway. A couple of questions if I may.
One: Where is the class="generated_discussions" And what does that change if anything?
Two: Would also like to change the wording on the new thread topic to 'Inspired by author blabla, rather than just Quote by? 'The langauge file doesn't have that part.
So far I love how it works, but did notice one thing. When you start a new topic with another post from another thread, that first post can not be quoted itself.
If someone trys to quote it, the tag comes up empty:
--- Code: ---[quote author=boo link=topic=170.msg386#msg386 date=1348704589]
NOTHING SHOWS UP HERE......................
[/quote]
--- End code ---
Maybe I missed an edit somewhere?
Is that by design? Cuz it's a bit confusing.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.
UPDATE: I changed this thread becase a couple of questions I answered myself by seeing the text in modifications.english, that they install files never mentioned. But still would like an answer to the other if I may.

Being this a board of mods "for-testing" is not meant to be easy to install on purpose. ;) (even though it should install by the package manager unless of issues that don't allow you to install mods through pacman of course...)

Nowhere.
It's there if you want to use it for styling. You can add it to index.css if you need to define it.

Do you mean in the quote that appears in the post itself?
Otherwise there is some text in $txt['qas_topicOriginated_from'] in Modifications.english.php.

How are permissions set up? And how actually the user does this?
boo2:
Yes I found the txt in modifications.english, but I do want the text changed in the actual post that is created by the mod, to read Inspired by:
Rather than Quote by. If that is possible.
I am admin, wasn't aware there was a permissions to set. Hmm. Permissions confuses me the most, but I will go check that since I noticed a regular member can't use it..
As for installing. I'm a newbie to this smf forum software, but I'm also old and stubborn and I'll work at it until I figure it out, with some help it's even better.. grin! I do love this mod though, I will probably use it more than my members.
Hmm, which permissions am I looking for exactly? I don't see any particularly for this mod.. YET anyway, still looking.
French:
Useful modification:Translation made and copied to Modifications.dutch-utf8.php.
--- Code: ---$txt['qas_topicOriginated_from'] = 'Origineel Bericht';
$txt['qas_topicGenerates'] = 'Dit bericht heeft een nieuw Topic gestart:';
$txt['qas_quote_new'] = 'Quote dit bericht om een nieuw Topic te starten';
--- End code ---
The given text is rather a bit long,but i couldn´t find a better explanation.
What I miss or just could not find are permissions.I would like the use of this modification only wanted to grant to administrators or moderators.
boo2:
Ah, that reminds me. I'd like for members to be able to do this as well. I know I probably won't be the only one to find it useful. But like French said I can find not permissions pertaining to this mod exclusively unless one of the ones for other smf permissions would work for this. I looked in the area of board permissions under the list of permissions for the particular user group, such as members but no luck there either. I'm probably looking right at it and dont' know it.. It's 8 hours after my bed time.. Night all. Or good morning...
