Change:

PHP Code:

cols="110"

To whatever you wish... play around with it... firefly's hack judges the textarea width by calling a function. You can't call functions in templates unforunately... try using 60

- miSt

Or you could use $textareacols

Tis not a global variable is it?

Add this in your code and it would work for your hack. ;)

$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

Ahhh but that requires hacking buddy ;)

This is the template mods forum :D

I know. Add the $textareacols to your template mod. ;)

Hehe but it is not defined in showthread.php - that's what the hack does. That's one of the two disadvantages of using a template mod. With conditionals this can be done easily :)

- miSt

But that is what I use for Firefly's Quick reply Box that is a separate template. Why wouldn't it work in the showthread template as well? ;)

use phpinclude then.

Boofo - look at firefly's code...

That code you posted is part of the code added in the hack (IIRC)....

Loo - i refuse to embark on all this phpinclude stuff ;)

Well then, if you dont mind ill post the code ;). Anyone looking to use the $textareacols add this on a new line in phpinclude:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'showthread.php') != false)

{

$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

}

Find in the showthread template:

Code:

cols="110"

Change to:

Code:

cols="$textareacols"

Thanks for posting Loo but im upset that people use the phpinclude so much now :(

- miSt

But things like this is exactly what it is there for. It makes coding alot easier. ;)

Just wanted to say thank you! This works really well, and has added much to my forum.
***installed happily! :)

Boofo - i know (it's just my principles ;))

Anjie - your welcome :)

- miSt

great hack thanks
/me installed and working fine in 2.3.0

works great!!

It does add some xtra lines underneath the persons post and sig. (like they hit return 8 or 9 times in their signature)... any way to remove them?

If it added extra lines, you did something incorrect. Doesn't add extra lines on mine (and guessing anyone else's).

One thing about this (which would be nice if it was addressed), is that all users will see this quick reply box, whether they are logged in or not. I have to uninstall this as I've gotten complaints that users have not been logged in and have typed a message in the quick reply box, only to be redirected to the log-in page. Of course, when they hit back their message is gone. I need a quick reply that only shows if users are logged in, or at least alerts users that they are not logged in somehow so they won't type a message and lose it.

Sweetness!! this thing roX

i dont like it o_O..

Hehe why not ;)? and thanks ;)

small question, i asked this in the other thread.. Can this be made to be forum Specific? I only want specific Forums on the Board to be able to utilize this. I have a Spam forum so I can keep the Spam outta the other forums. I just want to utilize it in that forum, and maybe one or two others. Thanks.:)

This is a good mod IMO.:) and saves the file hacking, and possible pains of rehacking them if you make a mistake. Which I constantly do:D

^^ This can be done either with the logician's dynamic templates hack or by hacking :)

if u ask me.. it should inc an option in control panel to have it turned on or off :)

just my idea...

Yes but that requires hacking my friend - and this is a template modification ;)

- miSt

anyone can modify a template :) a hack requires skill.. skill which i dont posses.. but im sure someone will make it since ive said it :)

Yes but like i said - for that you should go to the hacked version of the quick reply thread :)

This sould work.

Stick this in the phpinclude: (edit the forumids part)

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'showthread.php') != false)

{

$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

$forumids = "1"; // forum ids quick reply will show in, seprate with comma's

if ($forumids==$forumid) {

eval("\$quickreply = \"".gettemplate("mist_quickreply")."\";");

} else { 

$quickreply = "";

}

}

In the showthread template find:

Code:

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

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%"  align="center">

<tr>

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

        <td align="right"><smallfont>

        <img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">

        <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>

        &nbsp;

        <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>

        <img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">

        </smallfont></td>

</tr>

</table>

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

Below that add:

Code:

$quickreply

Make a new template named mist_quickreply and populate it with:

Code:

<! -- hackless quick reply -->



<br />

<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);

}

//-->

Note: This will add one query to forums that use quick reply (on showthread.php), this is because i put it in a template. You can avoid the query by hacking showthread.php or hard coding the template into phpinclude (something i dident want to do because of overhead). if you want to hack:

open showthread.php

Find:

Code:

showthread

Replace with:

Code:

showthread,mist_quickreply

You should have done that in a txt file really Anime... As the replacements are parsed :)

- miSt

Yea i know...did it in about 2 minutes and was in a hurry, ill put it in a txt later on tonight.

I love it, great job miSt.

* double clicks install, just to bug people that know it only takes one click. Grr!

Thanks Loo and leviw :)

- miSt

Yo... I installed this... worked GREAT... but one thing... its at the top instead of the bottom

can I get a quick fix

There are actually two of this exact same code:

Quote:

2/ Goto Templates > Modify > [expand list] > Show Thread Templates [expand] > showthread [edit]

3/ Then find:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav </smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
 
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4/ Below it add: <snip>

You added it after the first one. Remove that and add it after the second instance of the above.

Cheers, Mist, this simplifies alot. I have the hack on 3 skins; but I have 2 new ones and this saved alot of time. Thanks! :)

Will someone please tell me how to add the attatchment box and the smilie box to my quick reply? I do not have the firefly QR!
