Quick Thread Box

Ok, this is like Fireflys quick reply box, but its for making quick threads. This is at the bottonm of your forumdisplay.

This has the basics to it. There are only the name of the new thread and the new thread message area. And if people wish for more options.. maybe thats what the normal way is for

Enjoy.

I was wondering...

Every time you post a New Thread using this, it doesnt add your Signature...

How could you make it enable Signatures?

Satan

signatures, parsing urls, similies are handled by form values passed to newthread.php

the defaults on my forum are for signatures and to automatically parse urls.

to pass these silently as defaults use input type hidden

<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="yes" checked>
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="yes" checked>

and include them somewhere on your submit form (probably just below check message length)

or you can give them an option or two (see attached pic):

find:

			<smallfont><a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>

and below put:

<tr>	
	<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor}" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Options:</b></normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor}" valign="top"><smallfont>
	<input type="checkbox" name="parseurl" value="yes" checked> <b>Automatically parse URLs:</b> automatically adds [ url] and [ /url] around internet addresses.
	<br><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="yes" checked> <b>Show Signature:</b> include your profile signature.  Only registered users may have signatures.
	</smallfont></td>
</tr>

remember to remove the spaces after { and [

if you want to give them more options copy and paste the inputs out of the newthread template and hide the ones you dont want shown (you may need to hardcode some variables like $signaturechecked (either CHECKED or UNCHECKED)

Add this line:

	$clickysmilies = getclickysmilies();

to showthread.php right after this:

 
	$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

then use $clickysmilies in the "newthreadbox" template to add the box with the smilies in it, but you will also need to add these two lines:

<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode_language.js"></script>

to the template either before or after :

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Message:</b></normalfont>
		<p><smallfont>
		See Forum Rules (below) for<br>
		more information about what<br>
		codes you are allowed to use<br>
		in your posts.
	</smallfont></p></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr valign="top">
			<td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br>
			<smallfont><a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>

Hope that helps...
