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 have searched this thread and the ENTIRE vB forum for the "Quick Thread" hack that I KNOW exists because it's referred to elsewhere...but I cannot find it. It's an easy one, and I could just write it, but I know it's already DONE somewhere.

Can you tell I'm frustrated?

Fantastic hack, btw, Firefly.

Doesn't work with vb 2.3.2?

Virtually any hack will work with 2.x

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
  show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
  $pagenumber=1;
}

That doesnt come up in the new showthread file.

IIRC they removed something to do with page numbers. I am guessing If you just search for those 3 top lines, and follow the instructions as normal, it'll work fine.

edit: got it to work with 2.3.2

*** FIND ***

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}

*** REPLACE WITH ***

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}

First of all I run boards at version 2.3.0. I have [AddOn] Useful Additions For Quickreply (and normal reply page) -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=47918 installed. My problem is when the double posting is prevented via the Doublepost Guard -- http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index...threadid=40145 and merges the posts, it doesn't allow for the additions (except sticky) included in the Useful Additions For Quickreply to update. I was wondering if someone could take a look at the Useful Addition for Quickreply hack and help me out by adding some queries in the Double Posting Hack to update the quickreply options. I've looked through the files and I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help is appreciated.
