Question Quoting..

Hi

Just started using Kunena which I've set up on a very busy site

Users love it, the only issue is text quoting

When someone quotes someone who has quoted someone else and so on, posts can get very long even just for one new line added on

Is there anyway of modding the code so that only the previous person's post is included in a quote rather than all the stuff they quoted

Many thanks

You can select the specific text by highlighting and put quote brackets around that.

Of course you can do that but you know as good as I do that on a busy forum people just click quote and that's it. What the TS is referring to is known as 'nested quotes'. For example: phpBB has an option to select a maximum (e.g. 2) of nested quotes. This would be useful in the TS's case because than only the last two reply's will be quoted.

To answer his question, I don't know if it is possible to achieve that via modding the code a bit. I think it'll need some more extensive work because Kunena has to detect and correctly remove nested quotes without messing up the post.

Maybe that such an option can be included in K2.0?

Yeah that's it

There's no way people are going to bother snipping and working out which quote belongs where, the forum moves too fast for that. Shame if there's no way of modding it, might have a look at the code anyway

Was a solution to this ever found? Is it something that can be changed? My users HATE the handling of quotes in Kunena. It is almost to the point of having to go back to phpbb if it can't be somehow fixed. I have looked but can find no way to fix this.

I just pressed the quote button. Took me less than one second. I don't quite understand what needs to be fixed, specifically.

I understand that some forum sites make heavier use of quoting than other forum sites. I understand and I agree that for really heavy usage of quoting that there should be something easy to use. Kunena may not be particularly well suited to forum sites where users want to insert 50 quotes from other users into their messages. I agree with you. I also try to avoid overuse of quoting in my responses. The quote I used above was mainly to demonstrate that I don't have too many problems with the current quote feature in Kunena. I accept that other people will differ with my opinion.

I am not aware of a way to limit nested quotes in K 2.0 but I will leave it to someone else to respond with better information if they have any.
