Admincp->vBulletin options->Message Posting Interface Options->Enable Clickabke Message Formatting Controls
Admincp->vBulletin options->Message Posting and Editing Options->Quick Reply Enabled

Those are the settings that control that standard feature

I think you missunderstood his question WetWired

In your AdminCP go to Languages & Phrases ? Phrase Manager. Add a new Phrase;
Varname: reply_rule
Text: Whatever text you want inserted.

Go to Styles & Templates ? Style Manager. Edit the template 'showthread_quickreply';
Search for:

<tbody id="collapseobj_quickreply" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickreply]">

Add Below:

<tr>
	<td>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</td>
</tr>

That was for the Quick Reply, now edit the template 'newreply';
Search for:

<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">

Add Above:

<tr>
	<td>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</td>
</tr>

This should do it.

ohh awesome, thats great

now can you tell me how I add it to look like that one I tried but its all messed up


This is there code:

<tr>
<td>
<table style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="important">IMPORTANT:</td><td class="redtable">
<span class="smallfont"><strong>- Please ensure your reply is constructive and adds to the discussion<br />- Pointless posts will be removed and may result in you losing posting privileges<br />- To avoid misunderstandings, please don't use 'txt spk' and ensure your post is relatively typo-free</strong></span></td></tr></table>
</td>
</tr>

thanks

Replace '$vbphrase[reply_rule' in the templates 'showthread_quickreply' and 'newreply' with this:

<table style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="important">IMPORTANT:</td><td class="redtable">
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</strong></span></td></tr></table>

Also, be sure to add the CSS Selector (for importand and redtable) in your All Style Options Page.

Hey.. how do I add the CSS selector also ...


This is the reply_rule

<table style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="important">IMPORTANT:</td><td class="redtable">
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</strong></span></td></tr></table>

This is the showthread_quickreply

<tbody id="collapseobj_quickreply" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickreply]">
<tr>
	<td>cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="important">IMPORTANT:</td><td class="redtable">
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</strong></span></td></tr></table>]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
		<div class="panel">	
			<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

This is the newreply now ...

<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><strong>$vbphrase[thread]</strong>: <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$threadinfo[title]</a></span>
		$vbphrase[reply_to_thread]
	</td>
<tr>
	<td><table style="width:100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="important">IMPORTANT:</td><td class="redtable">
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[reply_rule]</strong></span></td></tr></table>]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	<div class="panel">
		<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth]" align="$stylevar[left]">

Is that what you wanted me to do...


There is an image below of how it looks (6367647657.JPG )... the second image is how it looks
when im using the first html code in phrase reply_rule (363562222.JPG )

You shouldn't insert such code into a phrase, it's messy! You should do it like I said to do it, insert the HTML code into the templates and just whatever text into the phrase.

You never put what to enter in the phase... and also what type is it global
etc

Could you tell me what to add ..


Also the CSS... how to enable, add :up:



Thanks

[Aros]

You insert whatever text in the phrase you want displayed. The phrase = the text.
For the CSS, go to the 'All Style Options' Page, scroll almost all the way to the bottom and add the css in the lower box for 'Additional CSS Definitions'.

ok phrase I understand now...

But the CSS how do I know what to enter...


thanks for the help
