User can Enable/Disable Quick Reply?

[Cyricx]

Was thinking about this.

We have quick reply enabled on my board but trying to optimize things for the dialup users so their load times aren't as bad :)

Thought about doing something in the templates with the profilefield manager, but the quick reply is enabled via showthread.php by what I can tell.

Prolly could still use the profilefield for a yes no radio..

Any ideas? Or has anyone already hacked this in that would like to share? :)

whar are you telling that...a user can activate/deactivate the Quick Reply ?

[maggie]

Oooo... I'd like to be able to do that, too... I like the quick reply, but a lot of my members don't!

That should be easy for vB3. Just make a new profilefield and do a conditional in the showthtread template. Like the following:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx] == 'yes'">
$quickreply
</if>

[Boofo]

I've just done this if anybody needs the code for it. ;)

Boofo,

Could you post the code here? This is a great idea, and it will also be useful for many other profile options.

These conditionals are awesome! :D

[Boofo]

Here you go! ;)

Installation instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a new Custom Profile Field:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Title: Quick Reply Box Status
Description: Show Quick Reply Box below each thread page?
Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
Options: Yes
No
Set Default: Yes
Display Page: Thread Viewing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In showthread template FIND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$quickreply

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REPLACE that with
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field15'] == 'Yes' OR $bbuserinfo['field15'] == ''">
$quickreply
</if>

NOTE: Change field15 to the profile field of the Quick Reply Box Status option.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

damn I thought I looked for that variable and didn't see it LOL

Thanks boofo, that'll teach me to use the damn search function ;)

[Boofo]

What search function? I just made that code a few minutes ago. I didn't get it from vb.org. ;)

[SVTBlackLight01]

Thanks! I've already implemented it on a few things. :D

I did something similar to this for VB2 and it there was so much more involved.

[Boofo]

You're very welcome, sir. ;)

Yes, vB3 is great for this kind of thing. I also have an option for fixed or liquid display and well as the option for postbit ot postbit_legacy template. With the conditionals and profilefields, the ideas are almost endless for what you can come up with for user options. ;)

[maggie]

I'm afraid I'm missing something, I can't get it to work... it's listed as field7 in the profile fields, display order 5... I should use the 7, right?
Dadgummit, I like this one, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... :(

[Boofo]

Relax, we'll get it working for you. ;)

Yes, use field7.

[maggie]

Should the quick reply be turned on, in the standard options? or off?
I got the "click for quick reply" to show up, with the code you wrote, but not the box itself...

[maggie]

But the quick reply link just takes you to the regular reply page... *pouting*

[maggie]

LOL I guess that capital "Y" was pretty important, huh? :o
**now off to find that Nosey Bugger Blocker" again**
Wonder how I'll mess that one up? :D

[maggie]

Oops! Minding manners!
Thanks so much for that hack... seems folks on both sides of that issue care a LOT! :o
And now out of thread, to let someone else talk... :D

[Boofo]

LOL @ maggie. I knew you'd get it working. ;)

[maggie]

I'm slow, but I get there... so long as I don't throw my hands up in frustration, anyway... :D

[Vigile]

Here you go! ;)
Can I presume Boofo the OR statement is for guests?

[M1th]

Here is a better way of doing it.

Do what freddie says in this post:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=569294&postcount=5

you can then change the Left/Top texts to On/Off

and then replace this $vboptions['legacypostbit']

with $vboptions['quickreply'] .

Done. :)
