BEFORE YOU INSTALL - I AM NOT OBLIGED TO SUPPORT THIS MOD, IT MAY NOT WORK PROPORLY DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR FORUM SOURCE.

What this template mod will do is make the 'Edit' button a drop down menu, giving you a choice between Quick Edit and Full Edit.

Template Modifications : 1
Install Time: Just a minute or two
Difficulty Level: Easy.

Can you put all the instructions into a text file and attach them please.

Also all code must be wrapped using code tags so unlicenced users cannot see it.

Thanks.

Personally that menu annoys me in IBP, however change

vbmenu_register("$post[postid]"); to vbmenu_register("$post[postid]", 1); to get rid of the arrow.

No problem, I'll get right on it.

It bugs me having to go through Quick Edit to go advanced, which I why I made it :P :)

Thanks for that Zachery, I will adjust the code.

[Zachery]

You could disable it?

[vBulletin THEN DAYLIGHT]

You could disable it?
You mean the Admin or the user?

[Zachery]

The admin, you can also click the edit button twice to get to the fulledit screen.

Can you? I could never do that. If I could I wouldn't of done the mod.

Regarding the admin option to disabled it, no, not at the moment. By installing this you are choosing for quick edit to work like that on your forum. Only update I currently have planned is disable it when quick edit is disabled.

[Zachery]

Click on the edit button twice here and it should load the advanced editor.

[GrCh_Jeff]

Well If you have computer illiterate users then this hack helps.I personnally like the effect but to each thir own.Thanx for your hack,time.INSTALLED.

E.A.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

personaly i think this would save time having to go to quick edit, then click advanced....it goes straight to it when u click full edit...nice work...

[Snake]

This is much much better. Thanks man! ^_^

[Zachery]

To each their own :) I like it the way it is now, but I'm glad someone was able to make this.

[vBulletin THEN DAYLIGHT]

Only problem I have with it on IPB is the unnecessary loading bar that pops up.

Just Matt Mecham showing off :p

[rossco_2005]

Thanks, I personally like the idea. I hadn't thought of dealing with the problem this way, but back when we first got vb3.5 my members were complaining about the quick edit. :P

btw, even with this clicking the quick edit link a second time makes it go to the full editor. *shrugs*

edit: Actually i'm having problems with this now in my skin that uses mod_rewrite. I have <base url="$vboptions[bburl]" /> in the head to make sure URLs with slashes work, and for some reason it's making the quick edit link in this thread make the page go to forum index instead of just loading quick editor. :(

Is this the forum set as your homepage in your profile here? I have been on every skin and can't find the location of that code you say you have in headers so I can put it on my forum to test out your problem and hopefully find a solution.

I'm not that familiar with mod_rewrite :confused:

[Hemanth]

Sorry for not replying, view here: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f9-Everything%20Related%20to%20the%20Board.html (Yes it's that forum, you need to be on forum home or in a thread).

Thanks for taking a look.

Click on the edit button twice here and it should load the advanced editor.

Thanks Zachery I never knew that ;) I do now

[Hemanth]

It's making me mad.

I've installed it but it works some times but in most cases it gives me the forum home page.

How to do it. :)

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

I have fixed this mod in VB 3.8.7


Open the postbit or postbit_legacy template depending on which one you use on your forum.

Carry out the following modifications to the template:


FIND:


<!-- controls -->
<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

REPLACE WITH:

<!-- controls -->
<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<if condition="$GLOBALS[vbulletin]->options['quickedit']">
<span id="$post[postid]"><a href="">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0"></a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("$post[postid]", 1); </script></span>
<else />
<a href="$post[editlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>


GO TO BOTTOM OF TEMPLATE

ADD:

<if condition="$GLOBALS[vbulletin]->options['quickedit']">
<!-- editchooser -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td><a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]">Quick Edit</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="editpost.php?p=$post[postid]">Full Edit</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / editchooser -->
</if>

Enjoy it!
