First off, great module! I didn't realize this existed, and I started to code one myself, then did a quick search and found this - thanks!

On to my point. Recently on some forums, they have started offering a link from the quote to the original post. It would be nice if this module could do so as well. I'm submitting a patch that does so.

What this patch does is changes the word 'wrote' in '[username] wrote:' into a link.

So for example, if someone where to quote this post I am typing here, it would look (kind of) like this:

Someone wrote:

A bunch of stuff in a quote

Where 'wrote' is a link to either the post of the comment that the person quoted.

Hopefully if this passes testing, it can be applied to a future version of the module.

I should add that a cache clear will be necessary before the changes in this patch will be visible.

You may want to test it out a little first! I've got it on a live site right now - I'll give you some feedback after it's been running for a while.

Yeah, I plan to once I rebuild my dev site. Not adventurous enough to put it on my live site. :) Will likely be next week unless I get to it tonight.

I've marked #1181058: Link to quoted node/comment (which has a D7 patch based off this) as a dupe of this one.
