[Solved] Selection to quote in answer

antonM · 2018-03-13T08:50:36Z

Hi all!I would like to share a solution for the subject. I use it on my own forum with Q&A layout (3), but it must work with other layouts.Make next changes in the file: wp-contentpluginswpforowpf-assetsjsfrontend.jsBefore line:jQuery(document).ready(function($){Add next function:function getTextSelection(e){ if ( e.target.tagName !== 'A' ) { var mouseKey = e.button || e.which || null;var pageX = e.pageX || e.clientX + document.documentElement.scrollLeft;var pageY = e.pageY || e.clientY + document.documentElement.scrollTop; setTimeout(function() {var selectedText = '';if (window.getSelection) {selectedText = window.getSelection().toString();} else if (document.getSelection) {selectedText = document.getSelection().toString();} else if (document.selection) {selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text;} if ( selectedText !== '' ) {var $selection = jQuery(window.getSelection().anchorNode.parentNode) || jQuery(document.getSelection().anchorNode.parentNode) || jQuery(document.selection.createRange().parentElement())var isPost = $selection.closest('div.wpforo-post-content, div.wpforo-comment-content');} if ( selectedText !== '' && mouseKey <= 1 && jQuery('#wpf-form-wrapper').length && isPost.length > 0 ) {jQuery("#selQuote").remove(); var toolTip = jQuery("<div class='wpf-tool-tip' id='selQuote'></div>");toolTip.css({position: 'absolute', top: (pageY + 10),left: (pageX > 160 ? pageX - 160 : pageX - 10)});var link = jQuery("<a href='#wpf-form-wrapper'>Add quote to answer</a>").on('click', function () {var editorContent = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();editorContent += "<blockquote><p>" + selectedText + "</p></blockquote><p></p>"tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent(editorContent);tinymce.execCommand('mceFocus',false,'postbody');tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.select(tinyMCE.activeEditor.getBody(), true);tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.collapse(false); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: jQuery("#wpf-form-wrapper").offset().top }, 500); if (window.getSelection) {if (window.getSelection().empty) { // Chromewindow.getSelection().empty();} else if (window.getSelection().removeAllRanges) { // Firefoxwindow.getSelection().removeAllRanges();}} else if (document.selection) { // IE?document.selection.empty();}jQuery("#selQuote").remove();return false;}); toolTip.append(link); jQuery('body').append(toolTip);} else {jQuery("#selQuote").remove();}}, 0); }}After line:jQuery(document).ready(function($){Next line:$(document).on('mouseup', getTextSelection);Save file. Update site in your browser.It works with text in the post. Just select with the mouse any text and click on the appeared button "Add quote to answer".@robert, if you want, you can bundle this function into wpForo.Any feedback is welcome.

If the user consistently adds multiple posts, there is no mail merge. This is also worth implementing.

There is still work to do.

Martin, thank you for the answer!

There is some problem with "Selection to quote" option. If I open the comment form under some post, select some text, and click blue paste button, then the selection is inserting into the main Answer form, not into the comment form. Could you please correct this issue in next release? Thanks.
