Great mod - thanks!

Yeah... I have now installed & tested this & was a bit miffed it didn't work with quick reply seeing as forums that use it I assume 90% of users posting use it; any news on when that will be released?

It also just gives you screen telling you that someone has posted & then gives you the choice to continue or go back & edit your post; however, when you go back to edit your post it doesn't show the new post(s) in the topic preview??

Thanks!

Miffed at my free hack? You might want to lower your vb.org expectations a tad :)

Yes, that is a problem. I've fixed it, and also added quick reply, but it's a tricky and I haven't worked out the bugs enough to post yet - mostly due to some other things eating up my time. It is a planned and promised release, so hang in there if you can :)

You're welcome :)

It's not that simple. The $error array works fine (thank you) but detecting if a new post has been added while quick reply was being used is very tricky. At the moment the method I've developed ignores quick replies from pages other than the last. My assumption being that if you are quick replying on page 2 of 10 you don't care about the most recent post anyway. Plus, the data just isn't available to test against.

You could always add an extra field (w/ timestamp) to quick reply to check against.

In the database? Add a query or two? I don't want to do that, and nothing else is going to survive a page load.

No, a form field, then on submit, check the timestamp.

Thanks Hambil.

I put it to our users and a majority of 87% to 13% ruled that they want it installed.

Much obliged.

Has a fix been found for this problem?

Given that I haven't used EI other than to run tests in ages, this has to be a setup/setting issue of some sort on your end. I run this day in and day out with Firefox.

I'll look and see if that can be done without file edits.

Hurry up with the quick reply!! Joke :) You know i didnt think quick reply and standard reply methods were so different o.o

It can be done with only template edits and plugins, I've done it but I deleted the files when you released the hack. :(

I cant find the Hack in the ACP :(

I dont belive there are any options, i dont see a need for any.. its a simple mod! :)

This has saved me a few times already ... great idea. :up:

Well then do it. I'll co-author you. I'm just really pressed for time and the masses shouldn't suffer for that.

I also plan to add other checks as I think of them btw - thus the generic name 'PostCheck'. For example, I want it to warn about uneven quote tags.

To enable in Quick Reply, just follow the instructions.

1./ In the template 'SHOWTHREAD', find:
Add Below:
2./ Upload the attached product XML.

thnx for your immediate actions mate. Cheers!

Updated to work with quickreply. See first post.

AWESOME HAMBIL! Thanx for the update!

Jacquii.

Finally! :*

Awesome, I was waiting for you to update with the quick-reply. Downloaded, installed, nominated, and voted 5 stars. Great hack :).

There seems to be a bug where it warns on quick reply every time (at least with the WYSIWYG editor)

Doesnt work.

Fixed.

=/ You fixed the error where it says EVERY quick reply says the message of review post?

<sarcasm>No, I fixed some random errors and ignored the ones people posted about. </sarcasm>

Yes, that is what I fixed ;)

I think you lie, because it didnt work when i tried it at the time i posted, its been fixed again since then?

I think that you do something wrong. The bug is fixed mate.

*INstalled* this is so cool!

I'm seeing this problem on my forum as well, and I just downloaded the latest version of the product about 30 seconds ago.

Edit: Hrm... well, I was seeing this, then I hard deleted the test post where I had first noticed it, and now it's not occurring anymore on subsequent posts. Weird :confused:

V 1.1 is installed and looks good. Suggested enhancement for future version: use AJAX to update the showthread page with the new post when using Quick Reply :)

One other issue I hadn't noticed (as an admin), but my users are reporting -
the minimum time between posts setting (default = 60 seconds for flood prevention) is enforced between the initial attempt to submit and the resubmission when this product interrupts them. I've dropped the minimum post time setting from where I had it at 10 seconds down to 1, so this shouldn't be a practical problem for me, but for larger boards where flood prevention is important, this could become an issue. Every time a regular user tries to submit, if someone's posted in front of them, they'll have to wait another xx seconds to retry, and if someone else has posted in that time, they'll have to wait again, etc.

Obviously disabling the flood prevention delay works around this entirely, but it might be something to look into for the future.

Yeah... I installed the latest version & one of my users was testing it & stated the below & saying it was like he was in like a kinda loop..

"I try to quick reply; It gives me the "a new reply has been posted" message; I hit "okay" and try to quick reply again; it gives me the "this forum requires that you wait XX seconds between posts message; I hit okay and try to quick reply; it gives me the "a new reply has been posted"".

Have disabled it for now..... but thanks for your continued work on this! :)

That's interesting. I'll see if I can disable flood checking for the resubmitted post, since it's not really appropriate.

I've also got the problem where a quick reply ALWAYS says there has been a new post on the first submit :(

Same thing here. I had to uninstall, but will look forward to the next update and bugs are worked out ;)

Jacquii.

I have this running on my board and do not have this problem. I suspect the template edit has failed for you and the others reporting this issue - probably due to skin or other customization. Turn off auto-replace in the hacks settings, and manually update your template.

3.6.6?
