Quick Reply Box

Here's an easy one, it barely took 4 minutes to do. :china:
This hack will add a quick replying box at the bottom of all threads, only if the user has permission to reply, so when you need to reply to something real quickly you don't need to click the Post Reply button and wait for the page to load.

Instructions are in the attached .txt file, and if you want a demo... just look below.

NOTE: For the vB 2.3.2 version please see this post.

Extras:

• If you want users who have the Use Email Notification option ON, to automatically subscribe to threads they reply to with this hack, see this post.
  
• If you want to add an option for each user to turn this feature on and off, please see this post.
  
• If you want smilies in your quick reply box please see this post.

I've just installed the upgrade to 2.3.0

I've noticed that in this hack, the first insturctions says:



That last part:



IS not in the Showthread.php

so...BEFORE I make a mistake...I figured I would ask....do I just ignore it?? OR do I do something else???

Same here, I drop by to ask the same thing, so I'll wait untill they answer it.

Thanks

IT appears that I had my BRAIN on BACKWARDS last night...GUESS it was the 1:30 AM problem...the brain just does not think well with NO SLEEP....

Got up this AM....and BINGO...found the EXACT CODES I could not find....IT is there.......and now...all is working again......

To....NEVER MIND......

ONE GOOD thing came from this...I found the following:

1. The SEARCH BOX at the bottom works REALLY GOOD....
2. MOST all question related to this HACK are discussed about 10 times each in this thread.
3. IT's the best thing ever invented...well next to Fried Chicken.
4. There are a TON of modifications to this HACK that I did not know about.....
5. Looks like I'm going to have to read the whole 70 pages.
6. THANK YOU!!!

Hmm. I guess I gotta look thru it carefully. Thanks for pointing that out voclain.

I don't know what my problem is. I totally uninstalled this hack and then went back and reinstalled it. I took my file off of the server again just to see if it overwrote the previous file and it did. I have done everything that I can think of to do and it still doesn't work. In fact I can't get my other hacks to work since I undated to VB 2.3.0 This is very odd. If I ever figure it out I will post it, even if it is embarrasing. But if anyone has a hint, I would love to hear it. My quick reply box isn't even showing up.

yep, same here, vB2.3.0 and this hack doesnt work, it will not post, it takes you to a NOT FOUND page..

[mute]

Working just fine over here on 2.3.0..

[SloppyGoat]

Me too. Running fine on 2.3.0.

I have a question... I added a new style based on my template with the quick reply installed. I added a new replacement set, to be able to change the colors logo, etc. However, I only have one template... which this style uses. However, the quick reply box doesn't show up. Any suggestions?

[GXON.matt]

IS there anyway a table with smilies could be added? also I have 'now playing' hack could that also be added to the quick reply box?

[sangam]

how can i make it appear at the bottom not at the top?

Thanks
