Quick Reply Box

[Admin]

Here's an easy one, it barely took 4 minutes to do. :china:
This hack will add a quick replying box at the bottom of all threads, only if the user has permission to reply, so when you need to reply to something real quickly you don't need to click the Post Reply button and wait for the page to load.

Instructions are in the attached .txt file, and if you want a demo... just look below. :D

NOTE: For the vB 2.3.2 version please see this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=434841&postcount=1180) post.

Extras:

If you want users who have the Use Email Notification option ON, to automatically subscribe to threads they reply to with this hack, see this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=253950#post253950) post.

If you want to add an option for each user to turn this feature on and off, please see this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=275595#post275595) post.

If you want smilies in your quick reply box please see this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=437740&postcount=1203) post.

[Lesane]

cool :cool:

Its kinda similiar to this one though:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29829&highlight=quick

[Admin]

Sorry, I didn't know this already exists.
Still mine only shows up for users that can reply to the thread, not to all users. :)

[Mark Hensler]

How about throwing a switch in the User CP so the user can toggle it on/off?

[Steve Machol]

Nice job! It would be great to see this in vB 3.0. :cool:

[Martyjp]

Seems to be a hit with my members

*clicks on install*

[Jawelin]

Very cool, Chen!

I'm planning to install it with a small variation: as I don't like that textbox at the end of the thread, I'll put a button or a link near the existing [Post Reply], something like [Quick Reply], and will open a javascript page with the textbox as you proposed.

What do you think about ? :)

Thanks a lot for sharing your work.

P.S.: what about closed threads ? Are they managed ?
Thnx

[fresh_froot]

Great addition :) A quick install, painless and easy.

Im posting using it right now!

[Admin]

Thanks. :pleased:

Mark - I don't really think that's necessary.

Jawelin - That would pretty much ruin the whole idea of a quick reply box, because if you open it in a new window you have to load all the global, sessions, etc. stuff just like on the regular new reply, so I don't think it would be much faster, if at all.

[Neopiper]

does it work on 2.2.1? i tried to install it and the box didnt show up :p

[squawell]

FireFly did u think add some smile icons in that function~~

and nice job :up:

[Steve Machol]

[Neopiper]

hmm yeah, the box just didnt show up :)

[cihangir]

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread...


this code appears at 2 places. the first one is at line ~55 and the 2. one at 230. after which one must i add the changes to it?

[Lionhead]

Very useful hack

Thx a ton :)

[Neopiper]

never mind, i forgot to upload showthread.php :) duh hahahahahaha

[Admin]

cihangir - thanks, I fixed the text file in the first post.
Neopiper - that's probably why the hack didn't work for you, try again now.

[Neopiper]

it works great, thx firefly :)

[JTMON]

This looks great Chen! How would I add the smilie box to the left of it though as my members love their smilies:D

[Timber Wolf]

Great will be installing this one for sure.

[Admin]

JTMON - Add this line:
$clickysmilies = getclickysmilies();
to showthread.php right after this:
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
then use $clickysmilies in the showthread_quickreply template to add the box with the smilies in it, but you will also need to add these two lines:
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode_language.js"></script>
to the template right after the <form> tag. That should work. :)

Wow this is even handier than I thought... :D

[SWFans.net]

Pretty cool hack but I have one question.

Is there a way to not have it show within closed threads?

[Admin]

It won't show up in closed threads for your users, but it does show up for you because you (as an admin) can still post, even in closed threads.

[SWFans.net]

Cool!!! I didn't test as a regular user. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :D

EDIT: Yeah, I just checked as a regular user and it does display in closed threads.

[Admin]

Wait... I think you are right. :o Let me check it, k? :)

[Dade]

Pretty sweet Chen

[nafae]

yes and fun to use!

[SWFans.net]

It does display to regular users in closed threads. =/

Need to try and make it dumb user friendly, becuase we have plenty of those @_@ dumb users.

[Rose]

:D I love it!!! I haven't added the smilie box yet, though. I think I'll leave it as is, if they want smilies they can click 'reply'. :D Good work, Firefly!!!

[Mark Hensler]

How about putting a preview button on the form and have it submit to the newreply.php page with the preview shown? :)

[-=dm=-]

FireFly thanx again for cool hack:) working fine.
for the smillies

$clickysmilies


where should I add this, can u please explain?

thanx

[Gutspiller]

FireFly a few of my users would like quote buttons on it. How exactly would I make two quote buttons under the message field? I was thinking even just two text buttons under the message field right next to the "[check message length]" button. All they need to do is one put the [ quote] tag in and the other put the [ /quote] tag in. Unless you can do something fancier, this is all I require. Can you please add this to it?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I love the hack, It would be nice to have colaspable tables that users could contract or expand that had icons and that saved their settings, but that would take more than 4 minutes. :D

[Psychdrone]

hmmmm this is pretty neat indeed!

Yet are there any other people out there with me, that think this will increase spam, as how easy it is to reply?

thats probaly why I wouldn't install it, but none the less great hack chen!

[Martin CX]

Very nice twist on the original hack (which really wasn't anything but a template edit), Firefly! I've installed it w/o any problems, but I've added a preview button. "Preview is good... preview is ...good". :D

[epi]

if you want to add the smiles do what firefly said and then find
this in quick reply templete
Your Reply:</b></normalfont></td>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------change to
Your Reply:</b></normalfont><p>$clickysmilies</td>

[Twig Deez]

excellent. :D

[Jakeman]

ugh! i may have to install this one. i didn't want to butcher my forums any more... :mad: ;)

[fonzerelli_79]

this is a very quick reply

[fonzerelli_79]

for anyone who added the smilies to the side of the replybox
i found that changing the number or rows in the textarea from 7 to 15 makes it look a lot better

also, the right is crying for the most popular vbcode options ie quote, img etc

[Parker Clack]

Another great hack!

Parker

[snyx]

this is awesome man, I saw the hack awhile from someone else back but it wasnt complete, or somthing.... oh well, looks great, I plan to install it asap.

[larryz]

If you want the Quicky Reply Box to not appear when the thread is closed, you can simply wrap an if statement around it.

ORIGINAL:


if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}



New:


if ($thread[open]) {
if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}
}

[SWFans.net]

Worked great larryz. Thanks. :)

[MikeWarner]

nice - I'll install this later! :)

[TurboFC3S]

Great hack, and so easy! Works perfect for me ...

[Admin]

Updated the text file with new code to hide the box from non-mods in closed threads.
Add this:
if (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else
right after this:
$replybox='';
} else

[TurboFC3S]

In your template, you have

<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="yes">

Listed twice. I think you should have signatures tured off by default also ...

[Admin]

Fixed... if you want to have sigs turned of just delete that hidden field.

I already noticed this on my board. You may want to increase the time between posts that's allowed. I had mine to 10 seconds, but I am setting it to 15 as we speak. (sorta an active board) ;)

[ladyfyre]

Just FYI:

This is a GREAT hack...and I am sure my members are going to love it. Only one complaint: In your instructions for the template creation, it would REALLY be great if you could set the templates to use the replacement values...the blues you used looked REALLY funky on my forums until I went in and reset them...and it would be nice to know that the table bg colors would change if/when the site templates are changed.

But again: Good job!

[Admin]

Oops, my bad, it got replaced somehow after I updated the file - fixed now! :)

[ladyfyre]

no problem :) Just thought I would let ya know :)

[Gutspiller]

Originally posted by FireFly

Now make me a quote button. :D

Come on, it would be nice, just the same as the VB code button does, but instead of it looking like a button, it would be good as just a text link. Then when people click it, it brings up a field thing just like the VB code button does and then you paste whoever you are quoting in there.

If you are such a great hacker you will do this little thing. ;) heheh

[Kumaro]

excellent hack! installed it, works great!

[Freddie Bingham]

Interesting idea. hmm vb3, ok. It won't be a user option though, only an admin option to enable/disable.

[cyrus]

how can I make it so that alllllll active members can view it ?

cheerz chen ... lovely hack

[Admin]

For cyrus:
Replace:
if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}
with:
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");

[cyrus]

thanks FF

I saw FF correction and seems with many many less checks before displaying the box...

[r.cakir]

test

[Erwin]

Love it love it love it.... :)

[Craig Antill]

Any way that I can allow users to subscribe to the topic with the quick reply ? Ideally by way of a hidden field which simply subscribes the user if they have set their options to subscribe by default...?

Great hack BTW! :)

[life is boost]

I installed this on my board and i followed the insturctions exaclty but it does not work? im on version 2.2.1

[Palmer ofShinra]

Definately going to try this out... maybe fiddle with it some too...

[Jawelin]

Just a trick: I think the QuickReplyBox should appear only below the lastest post in thread, don't you agree ?

I mean, when there are multi-page threads, the reply box should be hidden until the last page.

What do you think about ?
Thnx

[KuraFire]

Great hack, gonna install right away! :)

I don't see why as you could click the reply button before the last page.

Agree with JTMON. :)

[Danny]

FireFly m8, done what you said and it doesn't seem to work did you test it first ?

using vb 2.2.2

It worked for JTMON, right?

[Danny]

Sorry it works fine i forgot to upload the showthread file sorry m8 :(

[JTMON]

umm, didn't do it yet, I will try it now:D I am running 2.2.1 though

[JTMON]

Hmm, the smilie part isn't working for some reason, where do I put those two lines of script in the showthread_replybox? Do they go after the <form blah blah blah> or after the closing </form> tag?

[Danny]

i put mine after the <form>

[JTMON]

Ok, somethings up here. I just replied to this thread twice using the quick reply and it's not showing in the thread at all. This time I am trying the normal reply.

Where is there a plain <form> tag? I see the <form enctype etc> and </form> tags and that's it.

[Danny]

Here is my code JTMON hope this helps.


<script language="javascript">
<!--
var postmaxchars = $postmaxchars;
function validate(theform) {
if (theform.message.value=="") {
alert("Please complete the message field.");
return false; }
if (postmaxchars != 0) {
if (theform.message.value.length > $postmaxchars) {
alert("Your message is too long.\n\nReduce your message to $postmaxchars characters.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long.");
return false; }
else { return true; }
} else { return true; }
}
function checklength(theform) {
if (postmaxchars != 0) { message = "\nThe maximum permitted length is $postmaxchars characters."; }
else { message = ""; }
alert("Your message is "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long."+message);
}

Working-It helps when you upload the new showthread to the proper directory :stupid:

What's that do? BTW I used firefly's code as yours changed my color due to vb.org parsing the colors and me being too lazy to edit it.:D

[Danny]

that goes in the showthread file m8, just posted it for reference.

[Martyjp]

Having a few problems since I installed it

Bit of a strange one and it hasnt happened to me yet, but some users after making a quick post cant see any replies. It has happened to about 4 or 5 users, I am trying to get more information out of them at the moment, but any ideas what may be causing this?

Help if I included the image


http://f4g.net/images/f4g.jpg

[JTMON]

Haven't seen that one yet, but I have seen where they can't see THEIR post after using the QRB (Quick Reply Box) to reply. It happened to me here about 3-4 times.

[Admin]

JTMON, that's odd. I'm just replying using it and it's fine. I'll look into it.

[JTMON]

From what I can tell it's intermittent at best-I am posting this using the quick reply

[Admin]

It's actually fixed I think, the problem was with an opened <form> tag I accidentally caused somewhere. :)

[JTMON]

Cool! Way to go!

[Nupraptor]

How about throwing a switch in the User CP so the user can toggle it on/off?I'd really like this, if it isn't too much trouble (and if someone didn't already post how to do this - I just skimmed the thread). The quick reply box is very handy (I'm using it now, in fact :p), but it looks a bit cluttersome.

[Craig Antill]

This is really going down well with our users... excellent stuff - thanks again!

They are all asking for one thing though... is this possible ? Sorry to keep on :D

Any way that I can allow users to subscribe to the topic with the quick reply ? Ideally by way of a hidden field which simply subscribes the user if they have set their options to subscribe by default...?

[SgtSling]

is there anyway that we can make this work with the "post comprised in time" hack?
That is my only complaint is that it posts times that are screwey.
Thanks

[Lucky]

You the man!

Works perfect on 2.2.2 with vbportal3.0pr7

A switch for users to turn on or off in the user cp would really compliment it though, as maybe some users don't want it.

[Amasov]

I just reviewed this thread and this looks very interesting. Besides, I would like to test it for a time only for Moderators and Admins.

May I change the code like this :


if (($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']=="5") or ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']=="6")) {

/*if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread
['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and
(!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms
['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {*/

$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}



And will this work only for mod's and admins ???
(I'm tryin' very hard with php but I'm not so experienced with coding for the vb :( )

[Admin]

Amasov - Yes that's fine, but if I were you I'd add an else part that sets $replybox to an empty string (like the original string). Otherwise your users can do some pretty nasty stuff!

[Amasov]

hmm...ah... you mean like this :


$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");

} else {
$replybox=''
}


right ?

[Admin]

With a ; at the end, but yeah.

[Amasov]

:) :)

Many thanks for your help.

[inetd]

Hi.
In string
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="newreply.php" name="vbform" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this)"> java bug. How about fix this?

[Amasov]

@inetd
I'm sorry, but what kind of scriptlanguage is "Java" ?? ( :cool: )

No, seriously, just a few hours ago a moderator told me that she has the same problem. I'm not very common with Java therefore I'm also looking forward to an answer for your question. :)

@FireFly:
Damned, how did you insert your personal text in "Who's online?" ???????

:D :D

[Nam]

Wonderful hack, I believe this actually save some bandwidth? or not :).

[Destee]

I am loving this one FireFly !!!

Thank You !!!

[Admin]

Nam, maybe but I'm not sure. Probably though, since you don't load newreply.php every time you want to post... :)

[Gutspiller]

FireFly, one of my users has notified me that when she uses the quick reply box to post that in her control panel it doesn't show that thread as one she has replied to. Can this be fixed?

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks. :up:

[Amasov]

@Inetd:

My Java problem is fixed by now. It was a carriage return inside the script between a string and it's quotes (error: missing object) maybe caused during the translation.

@Gutspiller:

Maybe the error is caused by yourself? On mine it works perfectly.

[spazeman]

that hack rules :) well done firefly!

[nafae]

Perhaps I missed something, but

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

isn't in 2.2.2, is this hack 2.2.2 ready?

[FWC]

Originally posted by nafae
isn't in 2.2.2, is this hack 2.2.2 ready? It's there. There is an extra or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0in the first line in 2.2.2.

[nafae]

ok, should I replace the or $bbuserinfo also I assume, with the code provided?

-thx btw

[KuraFire]

There is still no news about making this a selectable option in the User CP ?

[Admin]

No KuraFire, sorry I'm just not gonna bother. Sorry to sound harsh. :)
(I'm just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO goddamn tired of adding options to the user cp... it's like, the worst thing you could do ever! I'm just waiting for v3 so this can be done more easily... :))

[KuraFire]

Okay well no worries, it's only my co-admin that wants it selectable, everyone else is liking it this way (as am I, big time, it saves on bandwith a bit as well! ^_^) but I was just wondering if it was being done nonetheless, cos IF SO I would use it.

No worries, I'm glad even that you're not gonna both with it. Saves *me* the effort of hacking the pages as well! :D

Oh ps. could you please look at the link in my sig? I sent ya a PM but the PM tracking doesn't show it. Weird... :/

[fury]

Excellent hack! For some reason, however, adding the clicky smilies to the template causes showthread.php to take a lot longer to finish loading. What I mean is, the posts load, and then the last post on that page is the last thing you see for about 20 seconds, and then finally the bottom bar with the new thread and post reply buttons, as well as everything below it shows.

I did exactly as you said, put $clickysmilies = getclickysmilies(); after the $textareacols... line and then put $clickysmilies in the template along with those two <script> tags after the <form>. After I did this, it began the symptoms as I described above.

I appreciate any help I can get on this. :)

[fury]

Bumpaw00t.

[Admin]

fury, you can't eat the cake and leave it whole. (or however you say it :))

The page will obviously slow down when you load 20 more images in it...

[kill yourself]

ummmmm........
I did everything as directed.
It's not working for me


ugh...:(

[Warlord]

Installed, and added the code Firefly posted to make it only visible to Admins when a thread is locked, works great! ;)

How would I go about adding the "Lock Topic with reply" feature to that?

It works in 2.2.2 with no problems. I installed the smilie box for a short time, but it slowed the threads down too much, so I took it out, and left a link to the post reply page.

[Admin]

Warlord, do you have that hack installed?

[Warlord]

Yes I do...

http://www.superherochat.com/vb/index.php

I also added the code you posted so that the quick reply box would be visible to the staff in closed threads and not visible to the members.

I was curious as to how I could add the Lock Topic while making reply hack, (that has been installed on normal replies) to the quick reply feature. I think all I have to do is find the code "$lock" or whatever it is and add it to the template, right?

[Admin]

Add <input type="checkbox" name="closethread" value="yes"> to the box, then if you check that box the thread will be closed.
To only show this to mods requires more hacking, so take a look at the code for that hack and apply it here. :)

[Soma]

thanx man.

[Smoothie]

Testing to see if this works ;)

[Smoothie]

Very nice if I must say so. :)

[Smoothie]

Hack installed and working great. Thanks!

Damnit, I ****ed up on the showthread.php file when adding the smilie function and I forgot to backup the file and now I have to download the vB software, re-edit, and re-upload. AHH! I hate double work >.<

Got it all fixed now. But Mr. Chen, how can I add the quick vb code to the quick reply box?

I'd be interested in this, as well, if available. I just searched all 9 pages of the thread and didn't see it mentioned or referenced (though I thought it was at one point).

Can somone help me out? you are a new member here and you have 2.2.1 installed. can you explain to me how is that possible? why you dont upgrade to 2.2.2? it fixes alot of little bugs.. it doesnt make sense.
also, who designed your layout? is nice.. ;)

[wolfe]

fredinsic & Recluse guys in the "Showthread Template" put $replybox under this

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->



if you can't find it just let me know also thanx FireFly m8 works a treat and the smilies do aswell also i am testing it on VBB 2.2.0 and it also works fine on there m8.

[Vivi Ornitier]

Will somebody help integrating this with the COmposite time hack? cause if u use the reply box and u have the time hack both enabled, it'll say like composed in 16969059595 minutes . ..lol, that's not right!

Is it possbile that when users hit quote, the text gets automatically put in in the quick reply box?

3rd time asking

i was looking for the answer to this one too. read every page, like the hack, makes it eazy to reply - all the bells and whistles for some - some want it simple.

the differance in code found - should it be added or not???

or don't matter...

[bill-t]

Did my post get deleted?? It showed up at least for awhile?! I installed just as directions stated... Have 2.2.2... Newly installed board... Doesn't show up... Possibly misunderstanding something taken for granted everyone knows... Haven't been able to find a newbie guide to installing hacks... Just newbie guide to learning php and stuff... Don't want to learn php today, maybe next month, but need to get baord up this month, lol... I made my changes to showthread on my computer, then uploaded to server and overwrote the one there... step 2 and 3 done from cp... correct?

[neal]

Thanks a lot FireFly... installed this a long time ago, but I never replied here. Wonderful hack. Working demo @ http://www.teenagedweb.com

[bill-t]

disregard my earlier post, just got it working... My first working hack - my second attempted one... Thanks FireFly, this is very useful... My board is aimed at a unsophisicated user base - they'll need it...

[Admin]

Ken, keep the bit of code.

Anyone else noticed he's posting a lot more because of this hack? I find myself replying to threads I would never have because it's much easier now. :)

[Vivi Ornitier]

indeed, everyone uses the quick reply now! hehe, i only wish it worked with that composite time hack, but oh well . . i guess when someone sees composed in 10699595959 minutes, they'll know that that user used the quick reply box! :D

[Whome]

thanx...this is something I've been looking for.... :)

[Figment]

Great hack, well received by the users, thanks.

One question though. What effect, if any, does using Quick Reply have on email notification to members?

I have received comments that email notification does not work when a reply is posted using the quick reply box.

[Admin]

The user is not automatically subscribed to the thread.

[Figment]

OK, but suppose user A has subscribed (with email notification on in his CP) and user B replies. Should A get email notification

[Admin]

He gets an e-mail.

[Figment]

OK. So there is no reason that this should not work?

I will go and play with a thread and see if I can recreate this alleged problem. Haven't seen it myself, but then I don't subsribe to too many threads :s

Thanks for the speedy replies - appreciated. ;)

[LouChipher]

excellent hack! installed it, works great!

[LanciaStratos]

If I wanted to add a preview button to the reply box, would simply adding the following HTML code to the template work? :confused:

<input type="submit" class="bginput" name="preview" value="Preview Reply" accesskey="p" tabindex="4">

Sorry to bother, can't figure out which item in there calls the color of the background for the box... Want to change it without changing the color of the regular reply so need to change the code so it doesn't call a variable but hard code it instead... TIA

Well, it means you don't have to click Reply Message when you read a PM, you can type a reply underneath the message and post it just like in a thread. It would save time and server stress.

Hey FireFly,

I deleted enctype="multipart/form-data" from my templates and disabled php file uploads in php.ini as a temporary fix for the php upload vulnerability (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=40721).

My regular reply option is working but am getting the following error when using the Quick Reply box:

There is no thread specified. If you followed a valid link notify your webmaster.

Anything you can share to make it work again? :)

Thanks,

Destee
v 2.2.2

[Admin]

Remove the enctype part from showthread_quickreply as well.

[Destee]

Thank You FireFly! I had done a search for all templates that contained that string and it didn't return the showthread_replybox, so I just figured it couldn't be that! :)

Thank You Much ... all is well again.

The first part fo the code appears twice - the second time it is next to that second part of the code. Look for it around line 234 :)

Great hack I love it :D

[Massiel]

Firefly is your hack the one installed on these boards? I need to know :)

[TutorialForums]

Cool im using the quick reply hehe.... Massiel yes I believe this hack is the one installed on this forum.

Anyhow.... what is the process to install this hack for 2.2.3? It doesn't seem to work (code seems different than 222).

Peace.

[inetd]

hm... I reinstalled this hack after upgrade to vb 2.2.3 and don't have any problem......

[Spoono]

Yeah, I am unable to find the code:

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;

anywhere on showthread.php. Looked everywhere on 2.2.3

[inetd]

showthread.php - line 234
after $getperms=getpermissions($thread['forumid'],-1,-1,$foruminfo['parentlist']);
if (!$getperms['canview']) {
show_nopermission();
}

[Bugsy]

Cheers FireFly works a treat m8

Bugsy ;)

[E]

One thing... It shows at top of the page... anyway too make it go at the bottom?

[inetd]

Hi, e_dove!
You should insert $replybox right after last mention <!-- first unread and next/prev --> in showthread template.

[E]

thx intended... i thought it didnt work for some other reason..
and too peeps who said it dont work on 2.2.3 it did for me

[inetd]

e_dove, I face the challenge when install this hack to vb 2.2.2. I reinstalled this hack after upgrade to vb 2.2.3 and don't have any problem.
Template showthread don't change on vb2.2.3.

P.S. Sorry, but I - inetd :)

[inetd]

Hi, FireFly. You slightly could not modify the hack? If user in the adjustments has specified automatic subscription threads in which he wrote at quick reply he too subscribed for a thread.

[Spoono]

Can I go into the admin panel and go to edit template and showthread and then edit it from there, or do I have to do get showthread.php via FTP, because it's not there on the Admin Panel showthread

[inetd]

you must edit showthread template in Show Thread Templates group.

[Spoono]

Check out my showthread, I don't see that line anywhere.

[inetd]

please search in you showthread template line <!-- first unread and next/prev -->. After last such line also it is necessary to insert a code from manual.

[eva2000]

how would i install this as an admin/super mod/mod only visible function ?

} thanks.. just had to change the usergroup for mods since onmy forum mod usergroup id isn't 7

[Freddie Bingham]

Remember that while this looks coolif (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))) {it isn't nearly as efficient asif ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 5 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7) {

[Freddie Bingham]

Also why don't you just use:if (!ismoderator($foruminfo['forumid'])) {Permissions are cached so it won't add any new queries to the code.

[eva2000]

so the same can be said for close thread on reply hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33718 ?

[josh929]

ok i'm lost what does that install/uninstall button at the top of the thread do?

All that does is add this hack to your "Installed Hacks" section on your control panel. You still have to install the hack on your server.

I double checked the showthread file and my changes are in there and the part of the code where it checks for ismoderator, is commented out.

I am so grateful/thankful for this hack, Chen. I just wish all of your instructions, including adding smiles would be in one file, to make it easier for everyone to not have to look around all over the thread to get instructions. Good work! Thanks again.

Ok... I added the bit that made closed forums closed even with the quick reply... I got a parse error... I could not find the code that was posted in the reply... so i found one that was very similar (I couldn't see a diff) that code was

} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {

Can I get a SS of what this would look like, anyone who has it?

[PeterNRG]

It would be very cool to implement the RATING dropdownbox in this hack (next to the submit reply button), cause people will more easely & QUICKly rate a thread while they are replying. It also eliminates a page to be refreshed when you rate & quick reply at the same time.

I know the RATE THIS THREAD has been implemented on the normal POST REPLY page for the same reason, but people won't rate anymore if they use the quick reply box.

Of course the 'normal' rate dropdownbox + go button would have to disappear on pages with a quick reply field.

What do you think?

[Jawelin]

Just like quick reply I take no credit for this. I just modifyied the files from this one orignally by NEO the php., templates, etc. I was asked to make this so people could put pics in the quick thread.
Thanks

[E]

if you have this hack installed, you might want to copy and paste, cause there are a few modifications, it might be hard to do if your new at this..I dont know, just trying to help

[TECK]

just curious... isnt easier to post in the original thread your hack mod? in this way everyone see where it comes from? if it's just a mod you made from the original hack, i think the right place should be in that thread.
i dont see the point of posting a mod, unless you want to raise the number of your hacks...???? ;)
personally, if i see someone makes a mod to one of my hacks and start a new thread about it, i'll get upset. look at firefly and his vbHacker. several people made mods to it. he delete them all. this is normal. mods belong with their original thread.

i made few mods to hacks, but i never started a new thred, just to get attention on it.. trust me, people see that you know your way with php.. just by helping them...

regards,
nakkid.

[E]

sorry, i didnt know.. Im not a hacker type person, i just had a few friends ask me for this, so I made it and posted it here

[TECK]

theres no prob.. :)
it's nothing wrong what you did... i simply wanted to give you my oppinion.. i might be wrong also.. cheers. ;)

[E]

Hi.
I made this so people can add attachments on Firefly's quick reply box. I do not take credit for the quick reply box. I have taken the quick reply box txt. file and modifiyed it. It works perfect. I have fixed the templates and php files, so there is no need to worry. I have it here so you can use it. I figured it would help alot of people. Also im releasing it for Neo's new thread box if anyone would like it.
Have fun
Emmett Dove

[E]

uppin, peeps asked me where it went

[Genesis]

Hello.

I do not know if this has been asked allready but here goes :

I have a board where unregistered users are allowed to post. I also use the quickreply box and every post someone does using it shows up (duh) as Unregistered.

Would it be possible if a user is NOT logged in but is allowed to post that a Username/passwd box could be added ?
I know some of you would consider this a simple hack however my knowledge of php/java/whatever you use in vbulletin is limited. I'd rather not mess with it myself.

Thanks.

[Genesis]

Patience never was a good quality of mine.

I fixed this by adding the USERNAME input box from the REGISTER page.

If you are logged in it overrides it though. Meaning if you enter TEST as username it will take your logged in name (which is good). If you are not logged in it will USE what you entered in the box.

However while that override is good i'd rather have it just DID NOT appear if the user is regged.

<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>User Name:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="25" maxlength="$maxuserlength"></normalfont></td>
</tr>

Is there a way to only show the quick reply for users who are logged in?

I allow guests to post, but would prefer if unregistered users post with the standard full post screen:
1.) So that they can enter their name in the username field (so the post is posted from John LastName/Guest User rather than Unregistered/Guest User)
2.) To reduce spam. I really want this to be avaible for registered logged-in users to make posting for them quicker, but I don't want to make it too easy for visitors to spam my board, even though I do want to allow guest users to post (just not this easily :)

Has anyone tried to make it so the quick reply box only appears on the last page of the thread (so people won't reply having read only the first page without reading the whole thread first?)

Great hack! Works perfectly.

Hmmm. The fix i did to allow a username box seems to have backfired. It works great for unregged users however if you are registered and you type in a username the post is MADE AS YOUR REGGED NAME BUT if you look at the thread it says Last post by "username you entered" and not the one you where logged in. It also does this on the mainpage. Firefly any help plz ?

How could make this hack automatically subscribe to the just replied thread if the user config has subscription enabled ?
Is the proper hidden var enough ?

Thanks

Yes Jaweli and Genesis try using $logincode in the showthread_replybox template.

Ok :)

It seems to work on most of the threads if used on "Page 1" and not on pages 2-3 etc. However on some pages it won't work on "Page 1" and they don't have multiple pages. :(

see,

This is why i opted for a paying solution rather than using one of those free boards on the net.

I installed everything, but the box came at the top of the thread, not the bottom.
