Quick PM Reply Box
 

Quick PM Reply Hack Version 2.4 - by Dr. Erwin Loh
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspired by Firefly, Neo, Vincent "MW" Chan


Version 2.4 for vBulletin 2.3.0 - 23rd of March 2003
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a simple hack that puts a "Quick PM Reply" box underneath a PM that you have received, with the username, subject and message in quotes already inserted. All you need to do is to just type the reply and click send. In the new version, you also have the option of deleting the original PM when you send the reply, as well as multiple options like saving the copy, and message tracking.

Upgrading from version 1.x - just make the 2nd PHP file changes, and copy and paste the the new template changes over the old one.


Version 2 additions:
--------------------------

Added options using checkboxes to:

1) Delete original: Delete original PM from PM box when you send reply
2) Automatically parse URLs.
3) Show Signature.
4) Save a copy: Also save a copy in the 'Sent Items' folder.
5) Request Read Receipt: Choose message tracking.

Version 2.1 - minor bug fix to make the icon change after a message is sent.
Version 2.2 - minor bug fix to make sure the delete tickbox works.
Version 2.3 - fixed a minor template issue
Version 2.4 - fixed the multiple RE: bug

NEW: Added minor addition to make cursor go automatically to the PM Quick Reply Box. :)

NOTE: To get the newest attachment, you need to clear your browser cache - otherwise you may download the previous version text file.

This is a screenshot of what it would look like - this Quick PM Reply box will be located under the PM message that you have received and are reading.

The username, and subject will be automatically added. The PM message that you are reading will automatically be included in the textarea in quotes.

New version screenshot - you can now see the checkboxes that you can tick to automatically delete the original PM when you send the reply, or to enable URL, signature, save to sent folder or message tracking.

EDIT: This hack has been installed in vB.org. Just try it out here. :)
