Postbit mod help
 

Hi:

I would like to change the reply w/quote button to just reply. I tried doing the change myself received the error that I had selected an invalid thread.
I am running 2.32

I have been having a terrible time working with changes in the show therad template for over a week.

I know if I was in my right mind I would most likely this out, but since I am in brain freeze mode, any help would surely be appreciated.

TIA
Cindy

Can you provide an example of what you're trying to do? I'm sort of lost...

Hi Ryan: I just noticed this board doesn't have a reply w/quote button.

I don't want people to respond with quoted messages (via the Reply w/quote button at the bottom of each post)

Instead I would just like a normal Reply. I have the buttons made etc., but I don't know what to change in the code. This is the code:

< a href="newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=19821 " >Reply w/Quote</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
(spaces used so code didn't get messed up)

Changing the name of the link doesn't do any good. I know it has to be in this part:

"newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=?

You can see the old "quote" button here. I am trying to get rid of buttons and have links, so I just want to be able to have Reply in place of the button and have it NOT quote the previous message.

Thanks

See like this......

So you want to make it just a link to make a new reply without quoting the post?

Easily done, in this:

Remove this:

Of course there will be a variable there instead of the number. ;)

The actual code from the postbit template is:

<a href ="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid= $post[postid]"> <img src=" {imagesfolder}/quote.jpg" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a>

So after the &post= just leave it blank?

If that's it I knew it was something simple. :o

Completely remove: &postid=$post[postid]

I just tried that and got this

"No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster "

This is what I used:

<a href= "newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action =newreply&postid="> Reply</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;

Whoops, left something in

Yeah, you gotta take out &postid= as well. ;)

Oh and if you wanna post the whole code without messing anything up use the [html] tags.

Using this:

<a href= "newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action =newreply=" > Reply</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;

I am still getting that error. I've tried this too:

<a href= "newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&threadid =$threadid">< font class="nf">< font color="#2f4f4f"> Reply</a>

and get the same error.

Ok, hold on let me try it out.

Taken directly out of the default vB 2.3.5 vbulletin-style.style file.

Thanks Ryan, I will try that as soon as I can get into my site. I am getting a mysql error.

I don't understand it, I copied and pasted just what you had (and I think I tried this one myself one or 20 times) and I am still getting that darn error message!

This is what I have above and below it

Odd, ok let me try it out on my vB2 Test board.

It's kind of a relief to know I haven't been losing my mind. ;)

I see the problem, $threadid isn't a variable supported in the postbit template. You'd have to hack it in.

Sorry, but you'll have to check over at vBulletin.org.

Thanks for the help Ryan, I'll go over there and check.

Well that didn't take long, if it ever comes up again over here, this is the code:

... oh. :p

I shoulda known that... :D

I wish I had, I never thought to look over there since I assumed it was a template thing.

Now to straighten out the rest.....
