over.

Please spend two minutes looking for an answer to your question before
asking.

The one I use now, doesnt do that...I think that suckz...

Okay, pure nightmare here. In showthread.php I have to find this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) 

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

But in mine (2.2.6), it's smaller:

PHP Code:


		
			
 if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {

      show_nopermission();

    }

So I replace all that with this?

PHP Code:


		
			
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; }

Then I create a new template called showthread_replybox. Do I add the same code to this template?

Then the instructions say:

Quote:

3. In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following: // $pagenav

Does it mean the showthread_replybox template or the major Show Thread Templates > Expand > showthread ??

Anyhow, this: $pagenav, is in neither.

WTF??

Okay, tripped slightly.

This is what I've done:

1) In showthread.php, added the necessary code.
2) Created a new template, with the name, "showthread_replybox" and added the same code in there.
3) Went to Show Thread Templates > Expand > showthread and added $replybox right after $pagenav.
4) Then I uploaded showthread.php.

The result is zilch, nada, zip. I know I've screwed up, just tell me where. :D

In the showthread template, the $replybox goes after the SECOND $pagenav. ;)

Still doesn't work though.....:(

Ok, let's help you get this figured out. First, let's have you go through the showthread.php part and double check that you have added everything you are supposed to. Check that out and let me know what you find out. This is one of the easiest hacks to install so it must be messed up somewhere. :)

And just to be sure...make sure you add this:

Code:

$replybox

After the SECOND instance of this in the showthread template.

Code:

</tr>

</table>

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

I PMed you my showthread template. Originally I put it here:

PHP Code:


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

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="{contenttablewidth}" {tableinvisibleextra} align="center">

<tr>

    <td><smallfont>$pagenav $replybox

$firstunread&nbsp;</smallfont></td>

But after your instructions, I put it here:

PHP Code:


		
			
</tr>

</table>

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

$replybox

Which is right after that previous code. Still doesn't work.

I tryed to install it but nothing appeared can I get some help?

Good for you. :)

Where am I going wong??

Whimper....

I got vbhacker now. Can I use that to do this? It doesn't show up though. Would I have to reupload or something.

Firefly, where for art thou and all that malarkey. :D

Great hack Firefly :cool:.

Just another thought, how do I use graphic buttons for the Reply and Reset forms? I'd like to change it for the quick reply and the usual reply.

Cheers.

I can't work out what is supposed to go in the showthread_replybox template. FireFly's txt file looks too weird. Please check out the screenshot to see what I'm seeing.

When I actually download the text file and open it in NotePad, I see this:

Quote:

2. Create a new template,
with the name "showthread_replybox": //
##################################################
Post Reply
Your Reply:
[check message length]

// ################################################## 3. In the "showthread"
template add $replybox right after the following: //
################################################## $pagenav Last Thread
Next Thread
// ################################################## You're all done, now
upload showthread.php back to your server and enjoy this hack. :-) Chen

Nothing appears for me even if I put that weird text in the template. :(

Looking at the screenshot you've sent in, it looks like you've cut and paste too much of the text from his readme. Check carefully that you've only selected the bits he has indicated. I've just introduced this hack and it works perfectly and the text was pretty straight forward.

It maybe as simple as you've forgotten an { or something like that, but from what I see you've copied in a large section of the text including his actual comments.

I just submitted an answer just as you posted that.

Anyway, that definitely isn't right. Looks like you had a corrupted download or something. Try it again. Like I say I know it works because I only downloaded it myself 30 mins ago.

The text file should look like this at the beginning (this isn't all of it btw):

Code:

// ########### by Chen 'FireFly' Avinadav ###########

// ########## (chen.avinadav@vbulletin.com) #########

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:

// ##################################################

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {

  show_nopermission();

}



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

  $pagenumber=1;

}

// ##################################################

And replace it with the following:

// ##################################################

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

  show_nopermission();

In my showthread.php I have ntered this code in the right place:

Quote:

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; }

The showthread template is all good. I just don't know what to put in the showthread_replybox template. Please paste FireFly's instructions for Step 2. PLEASE!!!!!!

You really should sort out your problems with the file download because it certainly ok. Anyway, just to help out here is the rest of it. Apologies for unnecessariy text hogging Admins :rolleyes:.

Code:

2. Create a new template, with the name "showthread_replybox":

// ##################################################

var postmaxchars = $postmaxchars;

function validate(theform) {

        if (theform.message.value=="") {

                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 = ""; }

You're all done, now upload showthread.php back to your server and enjoy this hack. :-)

Dude, you rock! That's all I needed. I've been banging my head against the wall for days.

How do I change the colors. Where are the variables and how do I find out the variable names for the forum headers etc so I can match it up?

To my knowledge you don't change anything in his actual code. You do all this from your Admin CP, where you change the colours for everything else.

If you want that to appear differently, then I think you'll need to add additional code to firefly's coding.

Worked it out. The colors can be changed in this part of the showthread_replybox template:

Code:

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

<tr>

        <td bgcolor="#1D6AA0" colspan="2"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF" class="thtcolor"><b>Post Reply</b></normalfont></td>

</tr>

<tr>

        <td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Your Reply:</b></normalfont></td>

        <td bgcolor="#1C5780">

                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

                <tr valign="top">

                        <td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1"></textarea><br>

                        <smallfont><a href="java script:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>

                </tr>

                </table>

hmmmm....does anyone know how to add the attachement option? If it is already written here I am sorry, but I have a really bad internet connection and to search 40 sites would take years. Maybe anyone knows the page?

Here you go. :)

Is there a reason why the reply box is on top of my threads?

Thanks for the help!!

Joe

Because you need to put $replybox after the SECOND instance of the code in the showythread template.

I'm enjoying this mod for my forum; specifically due to the fact that the webserver is a pile of garbage and I like anything that helps cease page loads. ;)
