IMPORTANT NOTICE: A big thanks goes out to MrEyes, whose original hack (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=204052) and permission to re-use his code enabled me to release this hack. Thanks also go out to MrEyes who gave me permission to use some of his install code. If you using vBulletin 3.8.X then here you go; http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=204052 (MrEyes originally hack for 3.8.x) Thanks again.
As the title suggests this modification allows you to add message quote functionality to vBulletins Social Group discussions. The installation of this product is made up of the following and does not require any file changes:
-One product import.
-One manual template modification.
-One configuration change.
Once installed an additional SQL query is made, however this only occurs when somebody clicks the quote button.
Installation : Product Import

1. Download the attached zip file and extract to folder on your computer.
2. Goto your Admin CP page (ACP).
3. Open the "Plugins & Products" section.
4. Click "Manage Products".
5. On the page that opens scroll to the bottom and click "Add/Import Product".
6. In the "EITHER upload the XML file from your computer" browse to the product XML file that you extracted in the first step (product-socialgroup_message_quote.xml)
7. Click "Import"
8. Sit back and watch vBulletin do its magic.

2. Open the "Styles & Templates" section.

7. And now add below this codes:

8. You should end up with something that looks like this:
