[Release] Quick answer form..
 

Author: Porter

Description: This is an answer form on the bottom of the page, with subject and icons..


Updated: added a signature option..

let's try:)

You got a demo of this temp mod in action, or maybe a screenshot?

id also like to see more description on this mod.

Here's a screen shot..
;)

oh this is another form of the quick reply hack at vB.org, which doesnt require any code changing.

nice work.

Note for Users with QUICK REPLY BOX hack installed: just replace ALL of the code in the showthread_replybox template to the code given here :)

simple as that

A problem arose . .

None of the icons work. Any suggestions?

anyway i can just get the hack... i've missplaced all my order info and i got new email addys because of the fact that i got virus's. Reason why i'm still on 2.2.1 no cash to order again

another problem arose... the quick reply leads me to newreply.php which doesnt show up

never mind...i found out i have .php3 extensions, so all i gotta do is change the <form action="newreply.php"> to newreply.php3 (might be useful for others that are on .php3 extensions

Sorry, hacks are not to be discussed or given out here at vBulletinTemplates.com. Members found trading hacks will be banned from the forums permanantly.

alright sorry about that dude :(

If I click on install, what does this mean? does it install it to my preferences on this site? Good lookin out though, this looks tite:goodst

Nice, hate hacks, pretty usless at it, so this came in handy.
Only thing is now my members would like to have their signatures added as well.
Anyone know how to do that in this mod?

Hmmm good idea.. :)

I have updated the Mod..

If you already installed it..

Find:

---
<input type="submit" cl***="bginput" value="Send" accesskey="s" tabindex="3"></normalfont>
---

After that add:

---
<br><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="yes" $signaturechecked>
<smallfont> <b>Show Signature:</b> include your profile signature. Only registered users may have signatures.
</smallfont>
---

Good luck..! :p

Thanks, works like a charm now. :)
At least my members will stop whining about it. geez, you spoil these people rotten, and they are still not happy... :)

how would you get the smile box in your version> I suck at html and I can't figure out where to put the code

Can u Please make an updated version of ur Code with all this things fine so i will not have error

10x m8 for ur help

Actually, was gonna ask a code question, but will include my version so far for you.

Just a simple code question, I got the signature box to check automatically now, but was wondering why the code isn't
$signaturechecked="CHECKED"
(didn't work) instead of what I ended up using, which is
$signaturechecked CHECKED

Here's my text version so far, but hopefully, more will be added to this by other people. Real useful mod, my favorite so far.

Is this for any certain version of vb this:

In Teamplates -> Show Thread Templates -> showthread

i got 2.25 and i cant find it anywhere?

every time i go to edit template it comes up with a coupla hundred 'change original' s.

Just noticed a slight display bug though, the table length for the quick reply box doesn't match the width of the post boxes. Either it's aligned wrong, or the width is a little longer with the quick replay. Checked on all three themes, same problem.

The other thing I wanted to know is I noticed that if there's no subject line or icon selected, it comes out blank once a replay is put in. The "replay to this thread" on the other hand adds a default icon and a "RE:(Thread title)", is there any way we can set this so it automatically selects a icon, and also adds the title to the subject box when someone is using the quick replay?

Hey, thats better than my old quick reply box, thanks!

that is the coolest thing I've seen yet, thankz a million

i figured out i need to update to 2.2.6, which i now have, but which script/s do i need to run to update?

How does it make to Straght Line?
Quick answer form go against to postbit table.
Help me..

It depends what version you're upgrading from and you can find the instructions in the members area of vBulletin.com

ehh when i instal it it apir in the top of the page??

The text that you stick it after, theres two simillar bits like that, your looking for the bit further down. Stick it after the second one.

for some reason, my quick reply is at the top.. any ideas why?

Futuredood...There is two code lines that are the same...You pasted yours in the first one..It has to be in the second one. :)

Does anyone knows how to add the attachment form in this quick form??

This may I say is A WONDERFUL MODIFICATION! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nice job. I'd use this but I don't think I have enough members on any of the sites I've worked on to be important enough. Thanks as always. Keep it up.

I just installed the quick answer form but I'm encountering some problems (please check with attachment). Does anyone have a similar problem and does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks again... :(

Add a <br> right before $replybox

Hi mashby! Thanks again for your help. I followed your instructions and I added a <br> right before the $replybox but nothing happened.

btw, what does this fix -- does it make a gap or close a gap?

It should add a gap, or space.

Add a couple more and see if that does anything.

mashby, I followed your instructions but still no luck. :(
