Hello,

I'm in the process of setting up my Snitz board, but I have a question. Is it possible to remove the "reply with quote" button from the menu? Many of the people who will be using this board are seniors, and they'll freak out when they click this button and see a bunch of code in the message window (a few of my testers already are). To a novice, it looks like there's something wrong. I'd really like to replace that button with just the "reply to topic" one, if possible.

Thanks!

You need to change some code to do that. No way around it.

Look for the following statements in post.asp (Lines 50-54) and add the statement in red as shown.
if Request.QueryString("method") <> "" then
	strRqMethod = chkString(Request.QueryString("method"), "SQLString")
else
	Response.Redirect("default.asp")
end if
if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" or strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then strRqMethod = "Reply"


Note: This is only a workaround to avoid the text from the other post or topic appearing in the text area when a user clicks on Reply With Quote and not a best solution. I have not tested it but should work ok.

A lot of code changes or pretty simple (just to remove it)?

Works great, thanks! Do you know where the alt tag for that graphic resides? I'd like to switch it to say just "reply" instead of "reply with quote."

Seems like Gaurav posted an easy solution for that. It's possibly the simplest solution of all, but it can be deceiving to more knowledgeable users. I think it would always be necessary to add that change, but probably you could also remove the Reply with Quote icon and link from topic.asp.

To achieve that you just need to comment out lines 644-648 in topic.asp:


	'	if ((Cat_Status <> 0 and Forum_Status <> 0 and Topic_Status = 1) or (AdminAllowed = 1 and Topic_Status <= 1)) and ArchiveView = "" then
	'		Response.Write	"                       <a href=""post.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "method=ReplyQuote&REPLY_ID=" & Reply_ReplyID & "&TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & Forum_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconReplyTopic,"Reply with Quote","align=""absmiddle"" hspace=""6""") & "</a>" & vbNewLine
	'	end if



and lines 847-849:

	'if ((Cat_Status <> 0 and Forum_Status <> 0 and Topic_Status = 1) or (AdminAllowed = 1 and Topic_Status <= 1) and ArchiveView = "" ) then
	'	Response.Write	"                       <a href=""post.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "method=TopicQuote&TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & Forum_ID & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconReplyTopic,"Reply with Quote","align=""absmiddle"" hspace=""6""") & "</a>" & vbNewLine
        '	end if


This will simply remove the Reply with Quote icon.

Nevermind -- I found it in topic.asp.

The other solution is to do as below

File Post.asp

Find the following statements around Lines 329-334

if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then
	TxtMsg = "[quote][i]Originally posted by " & chkString(rs("M_NAME"),"display") & "[/i]" & vbNewline
	TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "
" & rs("R_MESSAGE") & vbNewline
	TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[/quote]"
end if

Modify the above as below
if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then
	TxtMsg = rs("R_MESSAGE")
end if



Find the following statements around Lines 354-358
if strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then
	TxtMsg = "[quote][i]Originally posted by " & chkString(rs("M_NAME"),"display") & "[/i]" & vbNewline
	TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "
" & rs("T_MESSAGE") & vbNewline
	TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[/quote]"
end if



Modify the above as below
if strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then
        TxtMsg = rs("T_MESSAGE")
end if
