Disable quote on last message on each topic

[sinnerman]

Hi!

I'm trying to do a little customization with what the title says. I'm running a 2.0.9 SMF forum.
In more details. I want to stop people from quoting the last post in every thread/topic.
So i think that if i just hide or change the behavior of the "quote" button only on the last message i should have achieved my goal.

I know it sounds a little trivial but it's very common in the forum i'm running to see a quote of the right above post which is kind of annoying.

I can probably do everything except one part. How do i isolate the last message on each topic (in php)?
Though if you think you're up to it i won't say no to complete instruction. But i seem to be stuck from the very first step.

Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Yeah it is annoying. Drives me bonkers.

I did the same thing on a site I used to run. There may already be a mod for it. Have you checked the mod site yet?

If there's no mod available, I'll dig out the code. I have the files somewhere.

Ok, so I looked, and couldn't find a mod. Here's the code. Since I'm posting the code, someone will probably know where a mod is now. You get that.

You need to add a bit of custom shenanigans in Sources/Display.php first, otherwise the templates edits won't work.

Find:

Code Select Expand

if ($smcFunc['db_num_rows']($request) == 0)
fatal_lang_error('not_a_topic', false);
$topicinfo = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);

Add a line to the end of that lot:

Code Select Expand

if ($smcFunc['db_num_rows']($request) == 0)
fatal_lang_error('not_a_topic', false);
$topicinfo = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
$context['prefix_lastpost'] = $topicinfo['id_last_msg'];


Now you can use the new conditional in your Display.template.php:

Code Select Expand

// Can they reply? Have they turned on quick reply? Is this not the last post?
if ($context['can_reply'] && ($message['id'] != $context['prefix_lastpost']) && !empty($options['display_quick_reply']))

Etc.

Ha! Can we have that installed, here?

Drives me mental, too, that...

Thought I'd do it, before someone else does...

I'm really glad we're not the only forum this happens.
Thank you very much for the almost complete mod..it should be fairly simple from now on..

I ll try it tomorrow cause i'm in a hurry now but i'm sure it will do the trick.
thanks again!

I haven't tested on 2.0.x, but it should work.

[sinnerman]

worked just fine on 2.0.9!

marked as solved. Thank you very much.
