Close / Open Thread Via Quick Reply

I wanted to be able to close and open threads as I left my reply via the quick reply box, so I wrote this little template mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...4&d=1211542516

Features

Checkbox at the bottom of the quick reply box to toggle the current status. Only shows up for people with proper permissions.
Javascript is used to update the reply buttons (to change them from "Reply" to "Closed" and visa-versa).
Javascript is used to change the text next to the checkbox saying what will happen when you reply.

Installation

It's a fairly easy install and only requires editing one template (SHOWTHREAD), and importing a product (for the language phrases). The following instructions are for the default theme, but custom themes will probably be really similiar.

Download and install the product. This will create the new language phrases so you can translate this hack to your liking.

Then open up "SHOWTHREAD" and find this code. It's for the top reply button.

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

                <td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>

        <else />

You will need to give both the open (reply.gif) and the closed (threadclosed.gif) <img> tags a new CSS class called "replybutton" so that the Javascript can update them.

So for the default theme, that would result in this:

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

                <td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" class="replybutton" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" class="replybutton" /></if></a></td>

        <else />

Now do the same thing for the bottom reply button (same HTML).

Now we need to add the new code to the bottom of the quick reply box (same template).

Find this code which is the HTML for the "quote message in post" checkbox:

HTML Code:

                                                        <label for="qr_quickreply"><input type="checkbox" name="quickreply" value="1" id="qr_quickreply" accesskey="w" tabindex="4" />$vbphrase[quote_message_in_reply]</label>

                                                </div>

                                        </fieldset>

After that (and before what is probably a </div>), add all of this:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['openclose']">

                                        <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:$stylevar[formspacer]px 0px 0px 0px">

                                                <legend>$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_thread_management]</legend>

                                                <div style="padding:3px">

                                                        <div>

                                                                <label for="cb_openclose"><input type="checkbox" name="openclose" value="1" id="cb_openclose" tabindex="1" /><span id="qr_openclosestatus"><if condition="$show['closethread']">$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_close_thread]<else />$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_open_thread]</if></span></label>

                                                        </div>

                                                </div>

                                        </fieldset>



                                        <script type="text/javascript">

                                        /* <![CDATA[ */



                                                // Current thread status recorder

                                                var viperThreadOpen = <if condition="$show['closethread']">true<else />false</if>;



                                                // Run the custom function when the quick reply form is submitted

                                                YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(document.getElementById("qrform"), "submit", viperQuikyReply);



                                                // Do some stuff when the form is submitted

                                                function viperQuikyReply() {



                                                        var viperOpenCloseCheckbox = document.getElementById("cb_openclose");

                                                        var viperQRTextareaChars = document.getElementById("vB_Editor_QR_textarea").value.length;

                                                        var viperReplyButtonIMG;



                                                        // If the checkbox wasn't checked or the message was too short (simple check), abort

                                                        if ( viperOpenCloseCheckbox.checked == false || viperQRTextareaChars == 0 || viperQRTextareaChars < $vboptions[postminchars] ) return;



                                                        // Uncheck the checkbox

                                                        viperOpenCloseCheckbox.checked = false;



                                                        // Change the text and set the reply button image filename

                                                        if ( viperThreadOpen == true ) {

                                                                document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_open_thread]";

                                                                viperReplyButtonIMG = "threadclosed.gif";

                                                                viperThreadOpen = false;

                                                        } else {

                                                                document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_close_thread]";

                                                                viperReplyButtonIMG = "reply.gif";

                                                                viperThreadOpen = true;

                                                        }



                                                        // Get all reply buttons via the new class

                                                        var replybuttons = YAHOO.util.Dom.getElementsByClassName("replybutton", "img");



                                                        // Loop through each reply button and change it's image URL

                                                        var i;

                                                        for (i in replybuttons) {

                                                                replybuttons[i].src = "$stylevar[imgdir_button]/" + viperReplyButtonIMG;

                                                        }

                                                }



                                        /* ]]> */

                                        </script>

</if>

Save and you're all done!

Oh, and don't forget to mark this as installed! :)

I'm assuming only usergroups capable of closing and opening threads can see this option? :unsure:

Yep. It uses the same test that vB uses for whether to display the close/open option in the Thread Tools dropdown.

Thanks, I remember this being available in the 3.0.x days and it is good to see it back.

Wicked stuff. Installed thanks! :up:

very practical I find, installed ;)

Thanks, it does what it says :)
Installed.

Don't work for me ...

EDIT: Work ^^

I've minorly updated the hack. If your forum is in English, no need to update as all this update adds is easier translating of it. There are no other changes.

For those not using English, here's the changed lines:

The "Thread Management" string has been replaced by "$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_thread_management]".
The checkbox, it's label, etc. has been replaced with this line (replace the line with this new line):

HTML Code:

<label for="cb_openclose"><input type="checkbox" name="openclose" value="1" id="cb_openclose" tabindex="1" /><span id="qr_openclosestatus"><if condition="$show['closethread']">$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_close_thread]<else />$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_open_thread]</if></span></label>
Code:

document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "Open";

has been replaced with:

Code:

document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_open_thread]";
Code:

document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "Close";

has been replaced with:

Code:

document.getElementById("qr_openclosestatus").innerHTML = "$vbphrase[viper_opencloseqr_close_thread]";

Then just import the product now attached to the original post and the the new phrases will be created. They can be found under "Show Thread" and are prefixed with "viper_opencloseqr_".

Ok... so i installed this thing yesterday, when it only had template edits... now do i have to install the product as well?

How about the ability to stick and unstick in Quick Reply as well?

How about a text file with the instructions in case it ever needs to be re-installed?

Make the template changes described in my above post (it's the differences between my original hack posting and the current hack posting) and then import the product to create the translation phrases. That's all the product is -- no plugins, hooks, or anything.

Sure, why not. :)

Can't just visit this page or copy/paste?

I'll make one anyway though. :)

Unfortunately, it looks that your product is not letting me completely use the quick reply.

Instead of showing my message after i post something... it doesn't show.

Odd. You sure you modified the template correctly?

Yes, i'm positive... however, i've got the older version installed on another board and it works perfect.
Could i get the instructions to the older installation? :D

Older as in the one I originally posted here? It's the same thing as now, it just had hardcoded text in English.

Although if you're talking about the VERY original code from months ago, that can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142968

this is a bit difficult for me, need help

i need help installing this

Installed and working great on 3.7.3

The only thing I want to comment on is the install instructions tell you to modify the button for the top and bottom, but the code is slightly different.

When searching the text, one button is labeled $FIRSTPOSTID and the other $LASTPOSTID

So when doing the second reply button, look for:

Code:

<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

                <td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$LASTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>

        <else />

Just a little bump in the road.

Nice addon, thank you. :) Only a cosmetic bug I've found.

If I open or close the thread via quick reply, hover your mouse over the largereplybutton please (without a refresh).

If the thread is closed, you did not see the text 'Closed Thread'. You'll see 'Reply'. The alt="$vphrase['reply']" tag is used instead alt="$vbphrase['closed_thread'].

Any idea how can we fix this?

Regards, Stoebi
