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.

Thanks

/me hits install.

sangam... make sure you insert the $quickreplybox or whatever it is in the right spot. I think there is two places (where it says insert after) put it after the second one

Come on, guys, the answer has been in the thread for a while now. The search box at the bottom really works.

Just add this where you want it in the replybox:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Attach file:</b></normalfont><br>
    <smallfont>Maximum size: $maxattachsize bytes</smallfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top"><smallfont><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$maxattachsize_temp">
    <input type="file" class="bginput" name="attachment"><br>
    Valid file extensions: $attachextensions</smallfont></td>
</tr></table> 


I tried fixing it up a bit to make it look better.....

Put:

PHP Code:

<table width="100%">
<tr> 
<td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Attach file:</b></normalfont><br> 
<smallfont>Maximum size: $maxattachsize bytes</smallfont>
</td> 
    <td bgcolor="#1C5780" valign="top"><smallfont>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$maxattachsize_temp"> 
    <input type="file" class="" name="attachment">
<br> 
    Valid file extensions: $attachextensions</smallfont></td> 
</tr>
</table> 


Below:

PHP Code:

<tr valign="top">
<td>
<textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1"></textarea><br>
            <smallfont><a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>

After reading ALL 60 pages, <YAWN> I still cant find the answer im looking for ... Some say it works on 2.3.0 some say 2.3.3 ...

I am running v2.3 #3 and it is NOT working.

Installed the code, exactly as stated in the 1ST thread of this god forsakenly long thread. The original hack. No add ons, no modifications, just straight up, give me a box.

Thru the hoops and the hurdles, I get NO error messages, yet I also get NO quick reply box. Not on top, on bottom, not in the middle, no where.

Any help/assistance in this matter would be appreciated!!

Edit: After pulling hair out, I found the problem. Seems the ftp server wasnt overwriting the old file. Check that! Also, in the template 'showthread' the orginal hack gives old code (obvious for an older version)...

Look for THIS in v2.3 #3

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">

</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
$replybox

^^^ Add the reply box as stated above.

Thanks for the great hack. Im going to pluck my eyes out and soak them now. Ay carumba!

replace with ( i think):


$replybox
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>

I had this installed and working for months, now I migrated to another server and it gives "no thread specified" messages....

Everything else works fine, can reply the normal way, the thread ID is making it into the hidden elements......Just explodes when it hits newreply.php

I even reinstalled the hack.....

:disappointed:

Thanks for any help!

Nice, thanks!

[proxyMX]

not working for me, no reply box at the bottom of my threads

[DemonJester]

Any idea why the "Mark Forum Read" is not working since I installed this hack? It works if I do "Mark All Forums Read" from the main index page but not from within the forum itself?

I looked to see what may have caused this but I have no clue what I am really looking for??

Any assistance would be appreciated.

BTW this and the quick quote II hack are the only hacks I have on this board.
