Inetd, you what about installing the version of this hack that only shows the quick reply box when you are viewing a thread if you are logged on. That would eliminate the problem of the error. :D

xube, i logged on. write reply more 15 minutes. Submit Reply and see error message. Understand me? :)

grrr! How do I add smilies and vBCode to the quick reply box? Puleese help me! :D

Read through the thread, I asked the same question and he told me and it worked.

19 pages here I come..

I'm having the same problem on my board. I read through the 19 pages of thread and was unable to find the fix for it. Anybody have any clues?

I agree... :lick:
How could I check if current page is the last one available on a multi-page threads ?

Check would be very very simple, once found exactly what to check... :nervous:

Thanks.

Is there a version for vb 2.2.5?

Satan

it works for 2.2.5, I'm using it now.

Er...

I cant seem to make it work...

That isnt anywhere to be found...

Unless that is outdated, and a Newer version of the .txt file has been posted on one of the other 18 pages...:(

Satan

should be around 234-240-I just checked my original 2.2.5 showthread.php.

Thanks...

Satan

Could you post the file up again?

I cant find it anywhere...

Satan

Ok...

I have installed it to your instructions...

Now I get this error when I try and access a thread...

Why?

Satan

great hack firefly

I wonder is there a way to show the (( logged in )) code I need this so that if I use my other nick names I would know which name I'm using for the reply

got the answer I was looking for :) in this post

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...705#post234705

silly me :)

anyway one more Q .... I tried to apply the changes for the subscribe function that firefly wrote in this post

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...370#post237370

but it didnt work is that because they are made for 2.2.5

I'm having a problem. I got the quick reply box to show up, but it shows up at the top of the thread, instead of after the last post. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I think there is something on page 13 or 14 of this thread, and a guy who had a similar problem...

I am sure you will find the answer around there...

Satan

I checked and found that post hellsatan. My showthread templete looks like this:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="{contenttablewidth}" {tableinvisibleextra} align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav $firstunread&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>
<img src="{imagesfolder}/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
<a href="showthread.php?s=$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="{imagesfolder}/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox

From what I read in the posts that is correct, but my quick reply box still shows at the top. Any other suggestions?? Thanks!

I am not really sure Lorddraco...

In one of our Forums, The Confederacy (inivisble), the Quick Reply box appears, and at the top of the page...

In all the others, it is no existent!!!

I am more stumped by the appearance in one of the forums and not the others, than why it is at the top...

If anyone can sort out the reason to why it is at the Top, please could they help us, or if they have any clues as to why it only appears in that forum and not the others??

If either of these problems could be helped with or solved by anyone, I could address the other one, or if you have solutions to both?

Thanks...

@Lorddraco - Maybe it has something to do with the Template you are using, but Im no expert at php...I have limited knowledge, but it is growing...

If I find any solutions, I shall let you know...

Satan

Great man, thanks. If anyone else can help us It'd be greatly appreciated!

Draco...

You wouldnt happen to know any reason why my error occurs?

Not the Quick Reply at the Top I mean...

I meant why it appears only in that forum?

Satan

Nope, sorry man. I'm a PHP newbie hehe, but I'm trying to learn. But I really have no idea why it would do that. It could be the forums using different templetes, but I'm not sure.

Maybe...

I wonder why though...

I am also a php Newbie here, but I am learning pretty fast, although this has me truly stumped...

Satan

Hi Hellsatan,

Checked the syntax? You didnt forgot a } or {?? or a ;?
Check that it might be the problem.

Greetz,
TheDutch

Hmmm...

Maybe...

I shall, but I think it is a more complex fault than that to solve the reason why its in different forums...

Thanks...I shall try it, but I doubt it will work...

Satan

Nope it wasnt the Syntax...

It wants to work in only one forum...

And I dont know why...

Satan

I checked all the syntax on mine as well, but I still cannot figure out why it shows at the top. Any ideas?

Nope...

Im stumped...

Get this...

I figured out the error I made, and tried to fix it...

Yes...The Quick Reply box wanted to work then...

But again...Only in that forum...

So then I had 2 Quick Reply Boxes, one on top of each other...

Mayhem!

And they were both still at the top...

Maybe it is stuborn because it is 2.5.5...

Satan

I'm using 2.2.2 O well, guess it'll just have to stay at the top

Running 2.2.2. My QRB is at the bottom.

Smoothie, does this look right to you?
I put this in my showthread tempalte
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox

and then I edited the showthread.php and did everything else that the directions said. Was your install process the same?

I found the problem...

My friend, -rs-, found the problem...

There are 2 sets of "<!-- first unread and next/prev -->"!!!!!

Ray pointed out that I put it after the First set, which made it go at the top...

If you search, and add "$replybox" after the second set, it should go to the bottom...

Satan

Sweet, my board now has MySQL errors which I need to fix, but after that I'll give that a go :D THanks again!

This is a GREAT hack, Firefly!

Improves usability serveral hundred percent... thank you!!

Sometimes the simplest things are the most genius.

Two suggestions

A. I noticed that when you do a quick reply, it doesn't add that particular post to your subscribed threads. Is there a way to turn that on? Or perhaps in an update, give a checkbox someone hits to subscribe... a little "subscribe to thread" box would be cool.

A lot of people don't even know they're subscribed to threads when they reply the normal way. A checkbox system would not just give them a choice, but give them awareness, too.

B. A new spell checking hack has been released that looks like it's going to turn into something viable. Perhaps there could be a checkbox or a link for something like that, too? Perhaps like the count characters link your already have?

Those two small, out of the way suggestions would add even more to the usability -- key things people want control over... without clutter.

Thanks again, firefly! Hope you consider the suggestions.

The really weird part...

I'm subscribed to this thread, but I'm guessing that when people use the quick reply box to reply, I do not get an email alerting me that the thread has been updated.

I'm guessing when users actually click on the "post reply" or "quote" button and submit the message that way, then I get an email alerting me that somebody has responded to the thread.

I'm having the same problem on my board ... anybody have a fix?

@akaler - I am sure that there are going to be more updates to this Hack...

I think this is a very good idea to have a Spellcheck, but I think it would look untidy and monstrous, and there is little point in having a Quick Reply box if you are going to clogg it up with Features that should be reserved for the "Post Reply" page...

The "Subscribe to Thread" issue I believe was solved in the earlier pages of this thread...I am not entirely sure which page, but I think it was between 12 and 16...

Satan

cool man, good!

[/b]A *link* wouldn't clutter anything up. Just like there's a smiley pop up based on a short link for the other quick reply hack, you could have little TIDY links, too. No clutter, necessary.

hahahaha! Pages 12-16!!!god.

There obviously needs to be a thread search feature here. I mean, the ability to search WITHIN a thread. When 1 thread alone has 400 messages... you're to the poin where that single thread IS a forum unto itself! Seriously! I've visited many forums with less posts than thing slike this thread has!

Anyway, thanks for the tips! I'm going to painstakingly look for that. Hopefully, someone has come out with a thread search hack -- I'm going to look for one, too. And if not... if any coders are out there reading this... how about it? Search within a thread hack? It's getting essential for big boards like this

Good idea...

Just one question...

Why all in bold?:D

Satan

my quick reply box now shows up at bottom. There are 4 references to <---first and last post----> and that;s what you have to look for hehe. THanks all!
