But surely that’s true for every post, not just the first one?
I really am not convinced quoting the very last post, wherever you are in the Topic, makes that much sense in any case? I would definitely set `quick quote post location threshold` to at least 1 as 0 is definitely wasteful of space.

Looks like this component isn’t working as of the latest Discourse update. I had to disable it this morning on one of my instances because all my reply buttons stopped working (core was updated last night). @merefield

> Hi @Festinger This file doesn’t exist in Discourse core, so I think it must be a theme/plugin issue. Do you have [Quick Quote Theme Component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quick-quote-theme-component/143621) installed? If so, please could you try disabling it and see if it helps? (cc @merefield - looks like that theme might need some tweaks following some recent core changes)

As a free addon this is on my radar but not my first priority.
I will take a look soon.

This should be fixed. Let me know if you have any further issues:

hmmm I think this component functionality might have broken in a recent update. 🤔

Also, it is worth noting that it fixes an issue with replacing links.
The regex was too greedy and would delete any text between two links.

I’m guessing I’m doing something silly, but I am not seeing this plugin listed as available in `/admin/plugins` after installing it.
I have added the git repo to my app.yml and rebuilt the app. I also entered the app (launcher enter app) and verified in /var/www/discourse/plugins directory that the discourse-quick-quote folder is there.
Any ideas?

Yes. This is a theme component, not a plugin. So you install it as explained in the topic linked in the first post ([Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682)), and you can find it at Admin \> Customize \> Themes & Components.

Hello! Not sure if this part of the recent mentions of the component being broken, but it seems that the new Rich Text Composer has broken this in someway potentially.
If I click to reply to a post like this example one:
The quick quote function works, but the quote doesn’t render nicely within the Rich Text composer. It appears as some kind of precomposed code:
I’m able to fix it by deleting the `` and `
` and then toggling between the markdown composer and the rich text composer, but this isn’t ideal for my users (or people in general, I imagine).
Any chance someone knows what is going wrong and if there’s a way to fix it? Thanks!

Yeah this wasn’t written with the rich text composer in mind since it pre-dates it by several years.
I’ve made an explicit note of this limitation in the OP.
I do not have time to look at this but if anyone wants to PR I will definitely review.
