What happened to the “quote whole post” button ? It suddenly disappeared. Most annoying.

It is pretty redundant as it clutters the Topic significantly with duplication, and there are other (tidier) tools baked in for that functionality. Personally, I’m glad to see it gone!

There’s another topic with people complaining about it and a (broken?) theme component to add it back. [imagem] Full quote button in editor missing UX I’ve made another theme component to add back the composer button. It works like the original quote post button worked in toolbar. https://github.com/VaperinaDEV/quote-whole-post-composer-button

There’s also this: [imagem] Quick Quote Theme Component Theme component information_source Summary Simply: it changes the behaviour of the Post Reply buttons (not Topic reply) to quote a Post automatically in a single click. hammer_and_wrench Repository Link GitHub - merefield/discourse-quick-quote: A Theme component to change the behaviour of the Post Reply buttons to quote a Post automatically in a single click. · GitHub open_book Install Guide Installing a theme or theme component heart Sponsorship Please consider becoming an ongoing spo… I just checked and it appears to still function?!? (despite last commit being 1.5 years ago :sweat_smile: )

But that quote method doesn’t include all embedded codes.. For example, this link – :grin: If you highlight this post and select “Quote”, you will get the emoji but not the associated link. Is there another way of getting that ?

[imagem] meave: For example, this link – [:grin:](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-happened-to-the-quote-whole-post-button/352765/2) I don’t totally understand what you mean (or why the heck someone would like to link like that)?

Well that’s odd. If i use that same example on another discourse site and highlight it and select “quote”, i just get For example, this link – :grin: So i can see why you might not need the “quote whole post” button here, but could you explain the discrepancy ?

I can’t explain anything. Because for me it has worked that way all the time for me. Will this happen on safe-mode? Browser issue?

[imagem] meave: For example, this link – :grin: If you highlight this post and select “Quote”, you will get the emoji but not the associated link. If you select the emoji, and only the emoji, the quote will strip out the link, which is indeed not expected. If you select any additional character, even the empty space before, the link will be selected along with the emoji. However, this issue has nothing to do with the full quote button, so I advise creating a #bug topic for this, but I’m not sure resources will be allocated to fix such an edge case, or with a #pr-welcome maybe. :slight_smile:

In the previous post ^, if you highlight the entire post and select “quote”, you only get the emoji but not the link code. So maybe that’s a different “bug” (!), (and no, i don’t know why you’d want a single emoji with a link, but there it is !) Maybe a link emoji would be useful sometimes .. eg :link:
