Description Roman Snitko 2008-01-10 02:56:29 UTC

Version:           0.12.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

What would be really useful is a simple messages quoting. Say, if I want to quote my friend's previous message, I just click the button and it appears in the typing area like this:

>Hey, bubba. I thought you could write this plugin yourself!

What could also be good is to be able to quote not only previous messages, but all of them during current chat-session, when each quote-button clicking shows the older message. It would also be useful to quote a selected part of the message.

I asked on the kde-forum: http://www.kde-forum.org/thread.php?threadid=18028
Seems like no one knows about anything like that.

This seems fairly easy to implement

Comment 2 Roman Snitko 2008-01-10 03:06:31 UTC

Well, I guess, if someone does this, a lot of people will be truly happy.

Patch for history plugin

I've created a quick and simple patch to add the quoting functionality. I've
modified the history plugin, instead of writing a new one, because it seems
pretty hard to access the last messages from within a plugin. At the moment it
only quotes the last message, but adding functionality shouldn't be too hard

Comment 4 Roman Snitko 2008-01-10 23:29:21 UTC

Do you I have to mark as 'resolved' now, or just leave it?

Comment 5 Matt Rogers 2008-01-11 02:38:45 UTC

we have to commit the feature to subversion first
