This might have been said, but I have installed this on 2.2.9, it works fine.

darkrider, did you remove the spaces before the colour variables?

[flup]

Probably not, it's working here (also @ 2.2.9) with my very own colours

| 1. Find this code:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
$templatesused = 'showthread_ratingdisplay,postbit_search,postbit_b uddy,postbit_useremail,icq,aim,yahoo,postbit_homep age,postbit_profile,postbit_ip_show,postbit_ip_hid den,postbit,postbit_sendpm,postbit_avatar,postbit_ offline,postbit_online,postbit_editedby,postbit_si gnature,postbit_attachment,postbit_attachmentimage ,showthread_adminoptions,showthread_threadrate,sho wthread_pollresults_voted,showthread_pollresults_c losed,showthread_firstunread,showthread_nextnewest thread,showthread_nextoldestthread,forumrules,show thread';

| Replace it with:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
$templatesused = 'showthread_ratingdisplay,postbit_search,postbit_b uddy,postbit_ignore,postbit_useremail,icq,aim,yaho o,postbit_homepage,postbit_profile,postbit_ip_show ,postbit_ip_hidden,postbit,postbit_sendpm,postbit_ avatar,postbit_offline,postbit_online,postbit_edit edby,postbit_signature,postbit_attachment,postbit_ attachmentimage,showthread_adminoptions,showthread _threadrate,showthread_pollresults_voted,showthrea d_pollresults_closed,showthread_firstunread,showth read_nextnewestthread,showthread_nextoldestthread, forumrules,showthread,showthread_replybox,newthrea d_closeopen';

for the very first change in the showthread.php

this is for VB 2.2.8

YES THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE TXT IS WRONG. THE USER NEEDS TO LOOK FOR THIS. IT GIVES AN ERROR W/ THE ORIGINAL TEXT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.


ok, it's working for me after i did what the above person i quoted stated but now the quick reply is showing at the top of my form instead of the top.


how do i get it to show on the bottom?

[TECK]

You placed the code in the wrong place, in your showthread template.

[BlackDeath]

ok i fixed it. for those who don't know coding like me the following code should be reworded to make it idiot proof:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------+
| TEMPLATE: showthread |
+-----------------------------------------------+
|
+-----------------------------------------------+
| 1. Find this code, at the bottom:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

<!-- /spacer -->
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Replace it with:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox
<!-- /spacer -->
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

i was able to figure this out on my own cause i have a programming background. in the showthread template there are two instances of the above code. these instructions say find the one on the bottom but it should say find the 2nd instance. it was confusing until i went back and checked it again. thought that'd help. thanks.

yeah. i figured that out. the instructions are a little hazy. also, i have another fix for the proxy hack that i installed. i'll post that there if i can find it. it has to do w/ in one of the php docs it says "proxys" instead of "proxy" and that caused an error. i'll try and find it.

hello dave. try this:
onSubmit="return validate(this);"

notice the ; an the end. let me know if it fix it.
it could also be because you have some javascript that you added in the header, that is not part of vBulletin.
in this case i cannot help you.

cheers.

Im experiencing the exact same problem Teck

I was also experiencing a similar js error when just dragging the mouse over the 'vb Code' section on new reply.
I then applied your suggestion above, and the issue with newreply has dissapeared.

But I am still getting the javascript error when hiting the go button on quick reply.
Any suggestions ?

funny, I wrote this hack for my own board just a week or two ago, but I added the quick-select options for mods to also (un)Stickify threads at the same time

And for users there's the option to show their signature (sigs are turned off by default on my board, (cluttersome crap)--) and to set E-mail notification on with their quick replies

This all is funny, cos 199 people installed this hack here... *grins*

:up:

[dotagious]

Anyway to add check boxes for the following features below the quick reply message field?
