Refine backlink preview function

[eksopl]

Backlink preview on hover has been implemented with the help of a patch from @desuwa, but I'd like to still:

• Make it an optional feature, either selectable by the admin in the config file (easier) or by the user, through cookies. I'm not sure which one to do yet.
• Add forwardlinks, like the ones in FoOlFuuka (and in 4chan X).

(Imported from issue 72 @ Google Code)

Attaching original quote patch posted on Google Code, just for archival purposes.

Here's a quick port of the userscript I was using for fuuka: https://github.com/desuwa/fuuka/tree/quoting Behaves pretty much exactly like foolzfuuka.

See if it can help in some way.

Checking, thanks!

Still getting accustomed to Git.

Looks good, merged.

I looked at how it breaks on IE8 because of getElementsByClassName(), but I don't think that anyone using IE8 cares for having anything nice, so.

[desuwa]

Any ideas on how you want to make it optional?

Would it be okay to add one or two links to the top menu (Quote Preview On/Off) and save those settings to localStorage?

[eksopl]

Umh, not entirely sure where to place such an option. But sure, go ahead!

[desuwa]

Soon（　≖‿≖）

The only thing I miss about easymodo is being able to use it as a bleeding edge testbed, but @GXTX is a true follower of the cause.

Also, since I'm already requesting things, how about an underline or (OP) on backlinks that link to the OP? Plus, it seems the OP isn't entitled to "Quoted by" links either.

Bleeding edge master race reporting in.

Although I wouldn't update if eksopl said he didn't know if it was stable.

[desuwa]

underline or (OP) on backlinks

Yep, I completely forgot about that.

the OP isn't entitled to "Quoted by" links

I'll add it if you want. My reasoning behind this is that when people reply to a thread, they are normally quoting OP by default, unless they explicitly quote another post.

[eksopl]

Yeah, the second one isn't that serious once you have the first one, since, like you said, all posts are implicitly quoting the OP. But it's pretty useful to mark backlinks to the OP in some way, so you don't bother hovering them.

Also fixes backlinking from ghost posts, forgot to add it to the commit message.

[eksopl]

Looks good, merged! Once more, thank you for your patronage.

I don't really use scripts for fuuka, but I don't think turning subreplys into subreply replys will break any of them, so.

[desuwa]

Looks like I forgot a line: linklist[replies[i].id] = true; after here

It caused this basically, where the very first "quoted by" link could appear twice in some cases.
