Nice mist. too bad i dont want to redo this. Lol. But nice.

Thanks :)

- miSt

same, already got it installed (other one) good job though:)

Maybe place check message length before the submit buttons.

But nice mod.

Sorry, but this is just another re-hash of a hack already done better.

I tried that but it didn't look nice :)

It is not a re-hash. I coded this template mod myself with no reference to firefly's template mod.

- miSt

Why don't you release something that someone hasn't already done? Be original.

err theres nothing wrong with releasing sevral versions of the same hack

maybe ppl dont want the hacked version and just want the template mod

yeah and thnx for sharing mist

Because i made this FOR myself and thought that other people could benefit from it because i know there are MANY people out there who don't want to hack their boards.

- miSt

Yes. That is true. If i came across this before i used firefly's. I would have installed this one.

@mist- Nice job buddy. My take on these template only hacks, they are great, since no hacking of php files is necessary. The only downside is if you have more than a few skins. I have 9, that would be easier to edit only 1 php file.

Well set aside some time to install it into every template set then. ;)

Been there, done that. ;)

Thanks mate :). Well for firefly's hack you do have to edit a template if you have more than one style :). There's adding $replybox to showthread and adding the showthread_replybox template :nervous:

Regards

You're right, didn't even think of that one. *Bangs head on desk*

Lol.
/me gives dexter headach pills.

Hey mist thanks alot!!! I've been looking for a quick reply hack that didnt mess with the php files. I didn't think any existed since I found 2 quick reply hacks still modified the php files. I didnt think it was possible(like i'd really know!). Don't pay any attention to those who are trying to bring you down.*ahem* not mentioning any names. They are just jealous cause they didnt figure it out themselves. But yeah anyway, what i love about it is that I have one less hack to worry about being compatible with my other hacks. Thanks again mist! You have no idea how much I appreciate this mod!

Hehe don't worry i won't ;)

Thanks for the kind words because i knew that some people would find this useful (including myself)

- miSt

This is just what i wanted
i knew there was a way to do it ,
Great work

and i really do think why should there be any php hacking for such a simple mod anyway

can't thank u enuff
Thank uuuu

ermm i think thats enuff :p

Great hack. Just installed it.

The reason it was released as a hack was to not show the panel for guest and to get the width of the textarea correct ;)

Per Mist, come faccio e fare in modo che la finestra del Post Reply stia dentro alla misura di tutti i Reply? In quanto il Reply Post sborda, e di molto, sulla destra.

ciao
jancarlo

for Mist, as I make and to make so that the window of the Post Reply
is within to the measure of all the Reply? In how much the Reply Post
goes beyond, and a lot, on the right.

hello
jancarlo

This was perfect, exactly what I was looking for, nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for sharing it. Much appreciated!

One thing I'll mention is that I have one of the vbskins skins installed and there are *two* instances of:

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

And I just did it quick without paying attantion and it put the quick reply box *at the top* of the thread, heh, which... ummm.. looked pretty silly. If you have the Ravio vbskin, this needs to go after the second instance, which everyone but me would probably realize.

Nice mod, Mist. Thanks!

I must be an idiot... running the vbskins Proto with vbportals and can't seem to get this to work. What template mod am I missing? I'm totally new to this but have tried just about everything I can think of. Any help would be great!

Don't worry, you're not an idiot, you just probably missed it. :D

Have you found this:

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

???

I can't offer support if you have custom styles installed :( as i don't know the structure of them :)

- miSt

I sure did try there... nothing :(

PM me your template in a php file for showthread... ^

- miSt

Hey Damn nice miSt!!

I liked it :D

I originally had FireFly's hack installed, but I ummm screwd up my shoethread.php and had to revert to the original one..

So then I thought of installing your hack..

Its great :D

One problem: The columns of the hack are by default 110, that fills up the entire place. How can I make it of the same width of Firefly's hack?

Change:

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

Beautiful

Thank You Mist!!

Thanks Mist, I just installed this really nice Template Mod!

Your Welcome :D

- miSt

awesome hack. I was going to go the other route of editing files till I found this thread. Thanks!

Your welcome buddy :)

- miSt

Just curious if anyone has seen the following issue regarding this hack:

Signed in as my userid for my forum. Send them a link to a thread, and then they use the quick reply box. Seems as though if we all share an external IP it will allow them to post under my nick and not ask for a userid/pass before they can post.

Seen this?

Template mod ;)

Hmmm can you explain the scenario a little better :D
