It's quite tricky, because you need to remove the buttons and even add a check over posting.php to disallow quoting by manually entering the url.

You can't prevent users to manually copying the text either... unless it is highly formatted they'll be able to quote anyway.

First of all you should create a new check in viewtopic to verify if the post is the first within the topic and then add the condition check in template where QUOTING buttons are.

For 1.000.000 euros I can do it right now!  

I'm kidding... unfortunately it cannot be done properly in 5 minutes, it will require roughly 60/90 minutes for a skilled coder knowing the basics of Icy Phoenix. I don't have such a time right now... and I don't think this feature is so useful after all, since users may copy and paste anyway the text...

I'm sorry but don't you think it is a little strange to ask a question in 2 sites (wasting coder time by doing this) and then even ask on the other site if the advice given is correct?  

I'm stupid enough to answer ... It will probably remove the quote button from the first post in a thread! nothing more, nothing less.

Please, next time, ask help in one place and give it some time before you post at one of our other sites.

without making any controversy but I thought that the subject might be of interest to users of the. com rather than just users. it

Well if that's what you wanted to do then it would have been great but in this case please..

..post your question in one site
..wait for the right solution
..in case of doubt, test it or wait for more replies? (I can imagine you asking if there is a better solution but not "is this correct?")
..open a topic here and quote the solution ( try to include credits to the helping member )

I hope you understand what I mean Maxweb

The solution proposed only removes the buttons, but it doesn't fix the whole issue, because one can write the address in the address bar and bypass your trick.

Example: http://www.icyphoenix.com/posting.p...&t=8656&p=56868

@joshua

understood..


@mighty gorgon

it is true that the problem is avoidable as you said, but surely already so many people fail to quote the first post.

if I were able to make the change you say you would have already done, unfortunately I just have to wait for someone maybe able in order

for the moment I can only thank what has been done

What a waste of time you are going through.  

For example you could change the php script to swap the quote string and button with a reply string and button - just for a trick.

But what if I highlight just (or all) the text I want from the first post and copy/paste it to the next post etc and add the "Quote" (Which is what I do most of the time)

Like this:

Quote:
unfortunately I just have to wait for someone maybe able in order

for the moment I can only thank what has been done


Or this:

ADD THE USER NAME YOU WANT TO wrote: 
unfortunately I just have to wait for someone maybe able in order

for the moment I can only thank what has been done

 i don't understand what you say but the problem for me is solved partially because when the button is visible users can quote first post can copy url from img and all tag in the post

 without button this they can not do so easily ...

This is your last post that I simply highlighted - copied - and pasted it here.

All I need to do is add the "Quote" wrappers to it to make it a quote.

So no matter what you do - If people want to quote the first post, they only have to copy the post and add the "Quote" wrappers.

That's why I said that no matter what you come up with - people can still quote the first post even though you may make it just a little bit harder.

You didn't say anything here about quoting img or url tags - just not quoting the first post.  


As for disabling images in quotes, I thought that IP already had that option - Or was that some other forum software I used to know. Either way it wouldn't be too difficult to add that to IP if it doesn't.

One of the biggest problems is - People don't bother to use the "Reply" button.

And IMHO reply etc should be directly under the posts, not at the bottom of the page because the quote button becomes too convenient.

Take note MG!
