Quick Thread hack (like quick reply, on forumdisplay!)

This hack is like the quick reply hack but on forumdisplay, so when viewing a forum, if the user has proper permissions to make a new thread then this quick thread box will show up for them.

Also view the screenshot to see how it looks :)

Features

Shows the user's signature if they have one!
subscribes to the thread according to what the user specified in their user options!

Wait a sec. I am looking at the instructions and everything. Wouldnt we need to place:

$quickthread

somewhere in the FORUMDISPLAY templates?

Thanks, I missed adding that step. Fixed now, just find the part in the instructions where you have to modify the forumdisplay template :)

Fixed in the new attachment now :)

What would be good is if you can incorporate the WYSIWYG interface... but I like it like this since it loads quickly. :)

this is a neat hack however how would we restrict this for certain groups only like admins and mods or vice versa

Replace the else in the new code with

PHP Code:


		
			
elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X)

Don't forget to replace X with the usergroupids!

Add the following for more usergroups :)

PHP Code:


		
			
 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X

sweet im gonna install this as soon as i finish with the bugs in vbadvanced thanx

You mite wanna add

PHP Code:


		
			
forumdisplay_quickthread

to the $actiontemplates array at the start of the forumdisplay.php..

Or when it calls for the template it will create a query..

how can i add smilies to this?

Gary, when I add

PHP Code:


		
			
or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X

I get an parse error. I want to add only the staff to see the quick post. Right now, I only have admins viewing it.

You have to change X to the usergroupid.

I did. :p But still got that error.

You didn't even tell us what error you get ;)

It's a parse error. Doesn't tell me anything else but that there's wrong coding on that line. Sheesh, nevermind, I'll just use it for admin use.

Even posting the parse error will help; if you don't want to post it, we can't help you. If we can't help you because you don't want to post the parse error, there isn't any reason to get angry at us :)

Here

Parse error: parse error in /home/thesonic/public_html/home/forum/forumdisplay.php on line 205

Is that really that much help? It only tells you what line it is and it's

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6)or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

I also tried:

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

and

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6)
or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

Still got that same error.

The elseif code works, it's the "or" that doesn't.

Try this and I'm sure it will help ;) (replace your old line)

PHP Code:


		
			
elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5)

hey Gary, there's a small problem... whenever we use the Quick Thread, it automatically adds that thread to the subscribed threads list for the user who created it..... any way to stop this?

MGM out

Add this before </form>:

HTML Code:

<input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="9999" />

Very nice Hack Gary! Installed with no problems. Thanks!

One question. Is there a way to get the signature to work when posting with the quick thread box?

That did the trick! Thanks again!

I have updated this hack! HUGE changes made, including visual enhancements (text changes, made things look better) and also I added support for signatures and email updates / notifications, depending on what the user's options are in his user cp! :)

There is no update instuctions?

I tried to update and now im getting no output and this in error logs..

[Fri Apr 2 12:21:32 2004] [error] PHP Parse error: parse error in /path/to/forum/forumdisplay.php on line 203
[Fri Apr 2 12:22:59 2004] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_emailchecked() in /path/to/forum/forumdisplay.php on line 210

Which is

$emailchecked = fetch_emailchecked($threadinfo, $bbuserinfo, $newpost);

Im using vb3..
