Quote-Plugin: text doesn't get copied

This discussion is related to the Quotes addon.

I installed and enabled the quote-plugin.
but when i click the "quote"-link in a discussion, the button doesn't behave as i suppose it should:
the browserwindow slides down to the textbox (good!), but no text appears in it (like xxxyx xxzzz).
Am I missing something?

Todd

@Tim?

TiGR

Try Quote Selection plugin.

Tim

@TiGR ^ That was a low blow. Minor douchbaggery detected.

@basb Are you using V2 official? What browser? Have you done a hard refresh of the page (force reload all js+css files) since installing the plugin?

TiGR

@Tim, excuse me, I just tried to be helpful :D

P.S: BTW, I've uploaded minor update with few small fixes, and "Approved" badge has gone. Could you, please, put it back? ;) Thanks.

basb

@Tim I'm using the official V2, yes.
How do I make the hard refresh?
@TiGR Quote Selection (old version) didn't help me either. When I highlighted text, nothing happened.

TiGR

@basb, try using new version. If it still does not work, let me know what browser it is.

Tim

@basb This sounds like you're having some kind of Javascript issue. What browser are you using? Hard refresh shortcut depends on your browser, but you can generally away with just clearing your cache manually.

basb

@Tim I'm using Safari 5.0
I cleared the cache several times of course.

basb

Both Plugins work now - don't know what changed...

For me are not working, I have the same problem, when I click, slides down to the textbox but no text appear.

I tried in windows with different browsers (chrome, firefox, ie...), clearing the cache. Any idea?

TiGR

Any other plugins installed?

carlosten

Yes:
Gravatar, HtmLawed, Signatures, Tagging, VanillaInThisDiscussion and WhosOnline.

Same problem here. Newest version installed (0.2.2) and using both Firefox and Internet Explorer the plugin doesn't work. Windows slides down, but no text is in the textarea.

bobtheman

i concur, plugin doesn't work for me either, click quote takes me to the bottom of the page as if its going to copy the text, but nothing is copied.

Ubuntu 10.04, firefox 3.6.8

enabled: gravatar, htmlawed, tagging, in this discussion,

Same problem here. completely cleared cache and tried it on 3 PC's 2 windows and one linux, all using firefox but none of them worked.

Tim

I'll take a look today and figure out what's happening. Thanks for the reports guys

It doesn't work for me either

Running v. 0.2.2 of this plugin on Vanilla 2.0.1, the "Quote" does an ajax post to the backend, but the back end responds with an entire html page. Not sure what was supposed to happen, just letting you know.

=====Edit==========
Modify line 65 of /plugins/Quotes/js/quotes.js

Before: var QuotebackURL = gdn.definition('WebRoot')+'plugin/quotes/getquote/'+QuotedElement;

After: var QuotebackURL = 'index.php/?p=/plugin/quotes/getquote/'+QuotedElement;

NetWorks

Works for me - nice :-)

@Tim

Is getquote.php supposed to be empty? Because it is in the zipfile on the addons site, and that feels like it could be the source of all these problems! :P

This one is a blocker for a site I'm planning to deploy in a week or so. Is there no progress being made? :/

Lykaon

Still doesn't work for me. It slides down, but no text. I tried disabling all of my other plugins but no dice.

Tim

getquote.php is indeed empty by design.

What version of vanilla are you using, and are you using RewriteUrls = TRUE?

fr1day

I still have this problem, Vanilla version 2.03 and RewriteUrls = False. It needs to be false because the Apache config on the server the forum is on does not support URL rewrites so turning it on breaks the forum.

Tim

2.0.4 will fix this bug. AJAX is basically broken in 2.0.3 with RewriteUrls = FALSE

Many thanks Tim.

I too was having the problem with the blockquote HTML not being inserted. I ran it with Firebug enabled, and saw that there was a missing '/' between my forum's root URL and the getquote request part of the URL, e.g. it looked like:

example.com/forumplugin/quotes/getquote/Comment_2

After editing the plugin file js/quotes.js line 65 from:

var QuotebackURL = gdn.definition('WebRoot')+'plugin/quotes/getquote/'+QuotedElement;

to:

var QuotebackURL = gdn.definition('WebRoot')+'/plugin/quotes/getquote/'+QuotedElement;

(i.e. added a '/' between the webroot and the rest), it seems to submit a proper request for the quoted text and in turn inserts the blockquote.

Updated to 2.0.4, running with RewriteUrls = TRUE, just as I did under 2.0.3. Still having the same problem. None of the other solutions in this thread has helped, either :/

Tim

Do you have Firefox with Firebug installed?

Sjoerd

have got the same problem.. wont work good.
