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.

@inetd
I'm sorry, but what kind of scriptlanguage is "Java" ?? ( )

No, seriously, just a few hours ago a moderator told me that she has the same problem. I'm not very common with Java therefore I'm also looking forward to an answer for your question.

@FireFly:
Damned, how did you insert your personal text in "Who's online?" ???????

Wonderful hack, I believe this actually save some bandwidth? or not .

[Destee]

I am loving this one FireFly !!!

Thank You !!!

[Admin]

Nam, maybe but I'm not sure. Probably though, since you don't load newreply.php every time you want to post...

FireFly, one of my users has notified me that when she uses the quick reply box to post that in her control panel it doesn't show that thread as one she has replied to. Can this be fixed?

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks. :up:

@Inetd:

My Java problem is fixed by now. It was a carriage return inside the script between a string and it's quotes (error: missing object) maybe caused during the translation.

@Gutspiller:

Maybe the error is caused by yourself? On mine it works perfectly.

that hack rules well done firefly!

[nafae]

Perhaps I missed something, but

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

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

isn't in 2.2.2, is this hack 2.2.2 ready?

It's there. There is an extra

or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0

in the first line in 2.2.2.

[nafae]

ok, should I replace the or $bbuserinfo also I assume, with the code provided?

-thx btw
