quick reply and multi quote?

[chovy]

Is there a way to do quick reply and multi quote (from more than one post) in SMF?

[Kindred]

SMF has quick reply built in as a default feature.

multi-quote...   search in the mods.

[chovy]

I could not figure out how to do quick reply. Where are the settings?

[Kindred]

admin > Themes and Layout Settings > Member Options > Configure guest and new user options for this theme > Use quick reply on topic display:


of course, you could have used the wiki...

Multi quote is corrupt when I tried to upload and install it.

Emulate version....

Emulate version....

What do you mean?

emulate 2.0

[chovy]

sounds risky. THe mod says it supports 2.0.

[Kindred]

2.0 and 2.0.2 are identical... except that 2.0.2 has security fixes...


that's why it is x.0.y...   major.minor.sub   major versions are incompatible, minor version may be or may not be, sub versions are almost always compatible

Here's the package info:

And if you were to use version emulation, it would work.

To make the package compatible all you would do is add 2.0.2 to the list in the <install> and <uninstall> blocks (which is all version emulation does)

[chovy]

2.0 doesn't include 2.0.x ?

[Arantor]

No, it's quite specific, it means 2.0 final only.

The whole point of this ridiculous system (and make no mistake, it IS) is because the package manager does raw code edits, and sometimes you'll need different code for different versions, so it expects you to put all the relevant versions in - or use emulate to override.

[chovy]

ok. i 'm not going to mess around with this. I've already screwed my forum trying to remove a mod. Now it's broken completely.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ob_piwik_analytics() (previously declared in /home/

When two people who could actually code SMF from the ground up tell you something will work its usually a good indication that something will work.

[Arantor]

OK, that mod means you've installed the code twice somehow. Go through the files modified by the mod (IIRC it's QueryString.php) and look for ob_piwik_analytics() being declared twice, and then remove one of them.

eh?

[Arantor]

What he's saying is that Kindred and I have a number of years of experience with PHP between us and know enough about SMF and PHP to know when something should work as expected.

[chovy]

I understood that part, i'm just not sure why he said it.
