Hello! I was wondering if it'd be possible to add a reply button next to the quote button in the forum messages and blog comments body? I want to allow users to easily tag members with tricky usernames with spaces and have it instantly show up in the quick reply box. My forum version is PunBB!

Thanks in advance!

@Ape I tried that, but the feature doesn't work on game console or mobile browsers which is bad because I'm the only active admin and if it breaks I wouldn't be able to fix it since I couldn't see it.

That really would fix the issue under normal circumstances however, so thanks for the tip, but it doesn't solve my issue, unfortunately.

Hmm it should work as it ad's a button in your Editor system

I think @Ange Tuteur needs to look over the code again and see why its not working for you on your browser.

What browser are you using ?

Which code did you add specifically ? There's three in that topic.

Oh, the URL of the forum you added it to would help as well.

Http://www.WiiWareWave.com

The editor version works more or less but the button next to the quote button mentions the user that you're trying to mention as @"" without their username.

You have to manually enter the username who want to tag.

@SLGray Then what's the point of the button version?! That's no easier really than manually inputting it lol.

I believe what you want is one of the first two options.

@SLGray @Ange Tuteur is there any way of making option #2 in that tutorial have the same function as option #1? I don't like the @ before the username and option #2 is pretty much pointless in its current state.

Oh, the button should input the username. I'm assuming there's something preventing the button from getting the username. I have two questions :

1. Is the button not working in topics, blogs, or both ?
2. Could you provide me with a test account on your forum ? ( so I can test it first hand )

@Ange Tuteur both, also I'm having trouble setting you up an account. I used an email that isn't being used on my site and yet I get the message an account linked to this email is already registered?!

Can you see if you can create an account? Sorry.

I got your PM.

I checked and it worked fine for normal posts. The problem was with blog comments. Try replacing the button script with this one :

Code:

/* FORUM VERSIONS
 * 0 = PHPBB2
 * 1 = PHPBB3
 * 2 = PUNBB
 * 3 = INVISION
 */
$(function() {
  var version = 2,
      image = 'http://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/18/21/60/73/mentio10.png';
 
  if (/mode=reply/.test(window.location.search) && my_getcookie('fa_mention')) {
    document.post.message.value += '@"' + my_getcookie('fa_mention') + '" ';
    my_setcookie('fa_mention',''); 
  } if (!/\/t\d+/.test(window.location.pathname)) return;
 
  for (var a = $(['.post-options', '.profile-icons', '.post-options', '.posting-icons'][version]), b, c, d = ['.name strong a', '.author a', '.username a, .author a', '.author a'][version], e, i = 0, j = a.length, t = document.getElementById('text_editor_textarea'), l = version == 1 || version == 3; i<j; i++) {
    b = document.createElement('IMG');
    b.src = image;
    b.alt = 'Mention';
    b.title = 'Mention ' + $(a[i]).closest('.post, .posthead').find(d).not('.fa-mention').text();
    b.className = 'i_icon_mention';
    b.onclick = function() {
      var n = this.title.replace(/^.*?\s/,'');
     
      if ($.sceditor) t.insertText('@"' + n + '" ');
      else {
        my_setcookie('fa_mention', n);
        window.location.href = '/post?t=' + window.location.pathname.replace(/\/t(\d+)-.*/,'$1') + '&mode=reply';
      }
    };
 
    if (l) {
      c = document.createElement('LI');
      c.appendChild(b);
    }
   
    a[i].insertBefore(l ? c : b, a[i].firstChild);
  }
 
  $(function(){
    if (!$.sceditor) return;
    t=$(t).sceditor('instance');
  });
});

@Ange Tuteur It worked! Thank you so much!
