Quote multiple posts on the fly!

Alrighty then, I managed to write some code to quote multiple posts in the forums. I've done a few variants of it, but I feel this one is the best so far. It's a start of what I hope to be a much more fluid operation (ditch the two click bug(not so much a bug, I know why it does it, need some time to find a fix)).. I hope to make this operate alongside my other plugin IDmask, so that users need only note the shorthand ID's they want to quote, rather than 9687289 if the form has had that much activity(a serious flaw for this plugin in it's present state).
I figure there are some guys looking for this, it was always something wanted in sedito aswell IIRC. Use of this plugin is very simple, instructions for tag placement are in the ReadME. User Rights must be set in the admin panel. Use of the feature is shown in the screenshot. Just add the post numbers you want to quote(in no particular order, autosorted), seperate them with commas. Easy as that.. :) Opinions welcome as usual! Download Link: RapidShare yet again.

I suggested this when I registered here. Thanks for your effort
 BUT.. Personally I don't think this is the best solution. Most of the internet users hate to type, they love to click  IMHO, better solution would be: Use the existing Quote button in post and somehow make it work multiple times on the same page. Example: I click on Administrator's post Quote button, and if I want to quote Moderator I click on his Quote button too. I'm now Quoting 2 posts. But I could also click on the same Quote button only in Administrator's post and only quote him. Hope you can follow me, English is not my first language But I personally think my solution should be included in core, 'cause we're using the pre-coded Quote, instead of making new TPL code. |

Another method I used was checkboxes for each post you want to multiquote, the problem was making it work on multiple pages.
I appreciate the input, definately expect to see some of it some into play in later releases. This is just a workable base. I'll hopefully have some more time soon. Work is chaos right now. :( [color=#CC0000]Lazymod[/color] [color=#000000]Studios[/color]

I agree with musiconly, that this isn't really a good way of doing this.
The multiquote should be done like other forums, as he stated, where you have a button that will add all of the posts to the textboxer. As for it not working on multiple pages, what about hooking into the next page / previous page button, and passing the quotes through it? Web Design Database - www.wddb.com

My initial goal was to get atleast one variant working, in full swing. The goal of the project is to have seemless operation as seen on vbAdvanced. I'll get a new version out asap, just wanted to see what the general opinion was on it. Thanks for the input, greatly appreciated as always. :)

Can't you use javascript to add the post you want to quote to the textboxer, without refreshing the page?
