Reply To Visitor Message (Profile Comments)

[.Tim]

Quick and crude but it works.

Find in template memberinfo_visitormessage:

<div class="visitor_message_body">$message[message]</div>

Add after:

<div class="smallfont"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$message[postuserid]#visitor_messaging">Reply To Comment</a></div>

Enjoy. :D

Great idea.. ever thought of making it work with AJAX?

[Triky]

If you're a guest, when you click on that link you're redirected to the poster profile..

AJAX is not a strong point of mine but if I can figure something out I'd have no problem making it happen.

Yeah, I'm planning to add some conditions to this modification when I have the chance.

[Forum Lover]

so far my members are liking it. thanks .Tim.

[glorify]

Does this quote the original message?

[C.Birch]

no it basicy just sends you to that users profile and moves the page to there comments box.

[.Tim]

Does this quote the original message?

No, what the person above me said.

[rainyleaves]

Thanks Tim. :)

Won't the View Conversation added to beta 5 do the same thing?

[.Tim]

I don't know, I haven't checked it out.

[NeuroLancer]

Won't the View Conversation added to beta 5 do the same thing?

No it doesnt. This mod takes a user to the profile page of the user who left the comment(so that a reply can be made). Whereas view conversation shows the replies between 2 users, a bit different.

[.Tim]

Thanks.

[Boofo]

OK, I'm still confused. Why would you want to go to a page that doesn't have both sides of the conversation on it?

[NeuroLancer]

OK, I'm still confused. Why would you want to go to a page that doesn't have both sides of the conversation on it?

I know its confusing its hard to explain lol....

When click 'reply to comment', it takes you to the profile page of the user who has commented in your profile page, so you may reply to them on their page.... view conversation doesn't do this.

[Boofo]

Once again, why would you want to do that? Since it doesn't allow you to quote, you won't be able to reference the message you are replying to. To each his own, I guess. It doesn't make any sense to me.

[NeuroLancer]

Well we find it encourages people to use the visitor messaging system, and spread the messages around, rather than have one big list in a particular users profile. Anyway one of my developers loves it so it works well for us.

[Boofo]

If I understood the View Conversation right, when you click the View Conversation link it takes you to the same page this one does but in conversation mode.

[.Tim]

Do you use myspace? When someone posts a comment on your myspace page there is a reply to comment link that allows you to leave a comment on that persons page without going to it. Same concept.

[Syria BoY]

Add beautiful
Thanks Tim

I installed, but what I thought it did was different than what it actually was.

I thought it was a way to respond to a particular message and it show up directly beneath it, but shifted to the right. Sort of like YouTube.

Anyone know if that's available or possible?

Yeah, that would be great. 'Cause then you would actually have a sort of real coversation/dialogue going on.

[Captain Tycoon]

Perfect! Installed and Marked. Thanks

[Baldilocks]

What I have a problem with is when I leave someone a comment on their page and they reply to me on their OWN page.
vBulletin should have made it automatically "quote" and send to my profile instead.

[NAZIA]

But AJAX is the best.
Any update....

[M1th]

I think this is a better approach... this would take you to the converse.php page instead:

<if condition="$userinfo['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $show['converse']"><div class="smallfont"><a href="converse.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$message[postuserid]&u2=$userinfo[userid]">Reply To Comment</a></div></if>

[MissKalunji]

I agree instead i just edited the phrase to say reply & View conversation

[ArnyVee]

<if condition="$userinfo['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $show['converse']"><div class="smallfont"><a href="converse.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$message[postuserid]&u2=$userinfo[userid]">Reply To Comment</a></div></if>

Great idea from the start, but this seems to be a better approach until someone comes out with the 'next big thing' in the visitor messages :D

Thanks guys.

[dvbusuario]

Very good, easy but great

Install!!!

[Brandon Sheley]

great edit,, this should be default IMO ;)

thanks

I just changed to:

<br />
<div class="smallfont"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$message[postuserid]#visitor_messaging"><strong>Reply To Comment</strong></a></div>

Makes it a little more noticeable. ;)

yes
well done

[Symmetrical?]

not working ...

[studentsforum]

why not?
seems okay with me :S

[ahayat]

nice , thanks,

try making it that "Reply to Message" appears once when somebody receives new visitor message

Like Orkut and ajax so that members dont hav to visit others and they can type in their own message book.

Did these and it ROCKS! :D

Thanks folks!

[IIAnDoII]

this is a great idea can some one please help me change the text "Reply To Comment" to an image i have a reply image ready to go. im just need help with the code

Thanks for any info

[GlamRockTalk]

IIAnDoII,

I'm no coder whatsoever, but did you try replacing the "Reply To Comment" with....

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/imagename.gif" />


...see if that works. Just a suggestion. Maybe that'll work.

[IIAnDoII]

it worked but for some reason it but i box around the button

http://e.imagehost.org/0952/Untitled-2.jpg

Thanks for the fast help mate

any ideas how to get rid of that box thanks xx

[GlamRockTalk]

You don't have a 'border=2' or something like that in the code, do you?

If so, try removing that and see if it works. Remember, I'm not a coder, I just play around with the codes until they work ;)

[IIAnDoII]

This is the code i used

<div class="smallfont"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$message[postuserid]#visitor_messaging"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/imagename.gif" /></a></div>

but with my forum name and image locatiion

i dont think it has a boarder code in it i will just keep playing around with it

[LordNinja]

but with my forum name and image locatiion

i dont think it has a boarder code in it i will just keep playing around with it
just add border="0" after src="imagename.gif"

[jerx]

Does anyone know how to show the link only if it is your own profile? I tried using <if condition="$prepared['myprofile']"> as in MEMBERINFO template, but it is not recognized.

[CCV_Pinto]

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] == $userinfo[userid] && THIS_SCRIPT == 'member'">


for whom was looking for ajax style reply, I made this: my mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=197644)

Thank you very much! That code works great.

Your ajax style reply mod looks very promising. It definately makes replying easier for users. The only reason I do not install it is, that I want users to visit the other user' s profile, so that they are tracked on the recent visitors block.

That' s the same reason I added the link suggested by the original poster as well and not only added an additional phrase to the conversation link.

[MagicThemeParks]

This should be default in vB. Thanks for sharing! :up:

Used approach as in Post #37 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1669389&postcount=37) with the <if> conditional from the first, but the <div> from the 2nd one. :)

GREAT Hack / Mod !

But on my new vB 3.8.4 the edits to look for are
<div class="visitor_message_body" id="vmessage_text_$message[vmid]">$message[message]</div>

Thanks,
