Replace the text of the citation function with quotation marks

AI-generated summary

The discussion is about modifying the quote function to display only quotation marks instead of the full quote text. Juraj_Štefánik proposed the idea, but Don and JammyDodger initially misunderstood it. Don later clarified that he thinks it’s not possible, but JammyDodger suggested modifying the buildQuote function could achieve this. Don further understood the proposal, suggesting using a blockquote or the blockquote button in the composer as alternatives. A mockup screenshot is requested to better understand the desired outcome.

Hello, please, when I want to quote, and I would like to have this same function, but instead of the whole text, I would like to put only quotation marks, would it be possible?

Hello,

If I understand it correctly you want to post an empty quote?

That is possible but you have to write something outside [quote] in the post to not be empty.

No no no, I want the text to be replaced by only quotation marks and the functionality to remain

I see, sorry my bad… I think that is not possible.

I think it is possible to amend the buildQuote function, but the more of that quote code you remove the less functionality it will have.

Eg.

[quote="Juraj Štefánik, post:3, topic:233145, username:Juraj_Štefánik"]

[quote="Juraj Štefánik"]

[quote]

If I have also misunderstood then you might need to mockup a screenshot. :slightly_smiling_face:

I thought he wants to replace the

[quote="Juraj Štefánik, post:3, topic:233145, username:Juraj_Štefánik"]

To show only " quotaion mark.


Not sure but maybe the blockquote could be an option too.

In the beginning of the line.

Or use the blockquote button in composer.

But yeah a mockup would be great :slightly_smiling_face:
