Quote selected text only

[Uzbekistan]

Hi,

I've seen a mod on some bulettin boards, where a separate "quote selected" button quotes selected text from post only - not the whole post. I think this mod would be a nice addition to smf.

That's done with Javascript. Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish though.

Any update on this? Whould really appreciate one!

Hm.... this is nice idea. Who can do this mod?

[enkiduwd]

Any news?
I would really like to use this mod.

Looks like this has not been properly answered so far, so here is a javascript bit which should do the trick.

Select text and press ctrl/meta + Q

Code Select Expand


document.onkeydown = function(e){
if ((e.ctrlKey||e.metaKey) && e.keyCode == 81){
var selection = (typeof getSelection != "undefined")?getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text;
if ( selection != "" && typeof document.forms.postmodify != "undefined" )
replaceText("[quote]"+selection+"[/quote]", document.forms.postmodify.message);
}
};

Where would you put that, Butch?

Add this in a script tag in the header.
like this

Code Select Expand

<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e){
if ((e.ctrlKey||e.metaKey) && e.keyCode == 81){
var selection = (typeof getSelection != "undefined")?getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text;
if ( selection != "" && typeof document.forms.postmodify != "undefined" )
replaceText("[quote]"+selection+"[/quote]", document.forms.postmodify.message);
}
};
</script>

Sorry, for being a bit dense... But, which file? (I'll be trying this out, myself)

[butch2k]

In index.template.php within template_html_above() function just after the various .js file references, it should work.

Top man! Ta, matey!

i altered my preious post to fix an issue with the older IEs (6 to , replace the .hmlText with .text else you'd get the html tags as well as the text.

the code should read like this

Code Select Expand

<script>
document.onkeydown = function(e){
if ((e.ctrlKey||e.metaKey) && e.keyCode == 81){
var selection = (typeof getSelection != "undefined")?getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text;
if ( selection != "" && typeof document.forms.postmodify != "undefined" )
replaceText("[quote]"+selection+"[/quote]", document.forms.postmodify.message);
}
};
</script>

Thankyou!

Question: What's this "IE"?

[butch2k]

My worst nightmare...

Mine, too.
