Link button

[klumy]

Hi,

How about a link button besides the quote button.

The link button, should give you the direct adress of the reply.
very useful like in Word Association thread. Enter the copied adress whill directly link you to post 532 in this thread.

If you want the adress you just copy the adress with the browser contextmenu

here is an example
http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=99759
the button is called

Which means, say if I find a reply to something interesting, I just hit the link button, copy the url and paste it to someone that that might like to read it?

doesing the quote button provide a link to the original post already...?
I can see a link button being useful too tho...

The quote button is somethin like a java link and not a real URL link

Code Select Expand

javascript:void(0); if (self['doQuote'] && !currentSwap) doQuote(23224); else window.location.href = 'http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=post;quote=23224;threadid=2058/0;sesc=6d837b887eb1f0ee94adb769d19b47ba';

True, but that's because you have quick reply on.  If you turn it off (and you're running beta 1... or beta 1a, not sure...) it becomes a regular link.

making an extra button for it would be better I think. BEcause you can't know if the user use quickreply or not

or make a normal URL link with

Why not use the subject text for doing this?

I just changed the Display template (in the cvs!) so that this happens. (the message icon and subject are both links to the post.)

Have you commited that yet? I don't see it. If you haven't done this already it might be useful to add a title="Link to this" or something similar so people know what it is for.

Umm, actually it's just a link to the post - sorry, I was vague.  It's not a link to insert a link to the post or something.

Yep I know, but having some sort of title text would let people know what it is. It shouldn't say insert link but maybe perma-link or whatever they call it on blog sites.

Clicking it will take you to the post, so "This post" might be better...

I like the current solution. It works very well.
