[AddOn] Useful Additions For Quickreply (and normal reply page)
 

HACK: [AddOn] Useful Additions to QuickReply box & Normal Reply page
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
REQUESTED BY: My left brainhalf. *gives credit*
DESCRIPTION: Puts several small additions to the QuickReply box, as well as some to the normal Reply page.
DIFFICULTY: Medium
INSTALL-TIME: 10-15 minutes + time for FireFly/Chen's QuickReply box if you haven't installed that yet
STEPS: 7

!! NOTE: instructions updated on 22:19 CET* - make sure to clear your cache and re-download if you downloaded it already!

(* = see edit of this post timestamp for your own time)

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION:
What this hack do is simple: it adds a Signature checkbox, E-mail notification checkbox, and a Return-to dropdown box to your Quick Reply box (hack by FireFly). For Admins and Mods, it also adds two checkboxes: Close thread, and Stick thread (so that you can stick/unstick & close/open threads when you make a reply).
On the normal Reply page, it adds the same stuff minus Signature and E-mail checkboxes, of course (as they are already there :p).


Files to hack: newreply.php, showthread.php
Templates to mod: showthread_replybox*, newreply, newpost_attachment


Instructions are in the Attachment :)

Screenshot:

NOTE: the Close Thread and Stick Thread boxes are only visible to Admins & Mods!!

Wohooo !
It gets released
Cheers KuraFire
:)

To use your addon, should I just :
1. outright remove Tecks quick reply with close
2. install fireflys quick reply
3. install your add-ons ?

Yeah, that'd be best cos I have no idea how Teck did his quickreply hack, so it's probably not compatible with my add-on to FireFly's hack.

In fact, I'm 99% sure that it's incompatible. So Install FireFly's instead ^_^

Ok
Thanks for the quick answer.
Will do.

One other question, can you possibly incorporate you add-ons to editpost as well ?

uhm, good idea :)

I'll update the hack later so that it incorporates that (and I'll update the zipfile in the attachment) :)

thx 4 tip ^_^

Kura, I can't extract the files from the RAR archive (and I've got WinRAR). Could you please just post the text files? Thanks! :)

Update your WinRAR to the latest version

Sweet
Ive now un-installed Tecks and installed Firefly's

Quick question though.
Your instructions say :
But the standard vb 2.2.9 newpost_attachment template contains :

Do you mean replace both instances of : <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" ?

Nice hack buddy :)

Thanks for releasing

can someone post the file has a txt file? :p

The RAR has text files inside. :)

But here you go, anyway. Also, there are a couple of small fixes in there for the signature checked option and a parse error fix. I had to add some extra code to get the signature box to be checked if you had a signature in your options and not checked if you don't.

KuraFire, in step 7, you forgot to add a ; at the end of the line. I got a parse error, but all is well now. ;)

Your code:

What it should be:

Thanks, Boofo. I shall be installing it soon ^^;

You're very welcome. Let me know how it goes. ;)

Ack, yeah, I forgot to update the parse error code in the zipfile, will do that right away tomorrow!

Boofo: I deliberately made it _not_ to check on whether you had a signature or not, to have it auto-checked or not. I *Hate* signatures for each post, I disabled sigs for 80% on my board (you really simply have to put effort into it if you want your sig to show more than once in a thread) and I would rather see _more_ boards use sigs off by default.

I also hate it that vb.org has sigs on if you use quickreply. It's yucky and hugely annoying (esp. for ppl on slow connections like me)


v-net: ack, yeah, I couldn't remember what the original template was (I overwrite my vB-Default templates instead of add my own for my style) but that's what I had.
Yeah, you have to replace both instances in that case :)

I'll update the hack instructions as well on that, tomorrow :)

s/tomorrow/2 minutes ago/

Yes, I updated the install file (attachment in first post)

Make sure to clean your cache before you re-download! :)

No biggie. It jumped right out at me, easy to fix. ;)

I was trying to follow how it is in the newreply, that's why I did the extra code for the signature. It's easy enough to turn it off in your options, but I kind of like having it follow suit. Just personal preference, I guess. I have a cable connection, so I don't get the slowdown. That probably makes a difference in my desire for this, too. :)

Great hack, though. Nice touch. ;)

On the second step I don't find

I should make a hack that gives you the option "only display user's sigs once per threadpage" I think....

cos I wanna see them, but only -ONCE- ffs :)

You could also make this for new threads. Like you can make a thread sticky or close it or even both. Just a suggestion.

great hack nice job one question return to: forum forumhome doesnt want to work any ideas???


Also I get this from database

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.9:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,lastpost='1043104125',last poster='admin',sticky='0',open='1' WHERE forumid IN (28,37,-1)
mysql error: Unknown column 'sticky' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

any ideas

gohanssj2: I can, but I'm not gonna.

PiotrasG: erm, wtf?!?!?!

How the h*** do you not have a sticky column?! o_O

i get the same thing

I installed it and it works fine for me.

i fixed it, it was this step:

Next, a little bit below this, you will find _TWO_ occurences of:
addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE

REPLACE BOTH WITH:
addslashes($postusername)."'$modbit WHERE

I accidently skipped one. Nice hack :)

I have the sticky column


also for this step

Next, a little bit below this, you will find _TWO_ occurences of:
addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE

REPLACE BOTH WITH:
addslashes($postusername)."'$modbit WHERE

I did that

Already done by TWTCommish here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=36470

don't know if it works on 2.2.9 though (last post says not, but I didn't check)

KuraFire, I think a sticky for a new thread might not be a bad idea, but a close thread option for a new thread is ridiculous. Why would you want to close a thread you are just opening? LOL You have to be really bored to do that one. :)

Nice Hack

Thanks

I do it sometimes, you know sometimes I make rule threads for the forum. And I close them for new replies.

Use Announcements :):up:

Thanks! :)

I know but I usually don't like em :P

hmm the rar file is corrupt ?

I downloaded it and it unpacked fine. But I am also using the latest version of WinRAR, so that might make a difference.

i get

On the first page some one posted a .zip version of it.

I posted the zip version here.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...063#post344063

in 2.2.9 there are two occurrances of:

// redirect
if ($visible) {

in newreply.php

which occurrance do I replace?

the first or the second..with your new code???

thanks
