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.

Okay after hours of rubbing my face on the cheese grader, i need some help. I installed the quick reply hack and been working fine, then I just moved to a new server and now I'm getting this error message when using the quick reply box.

"No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster "

Replys using the normal reply to button works fine, just the quick reply. Anyone have any ideas what to investigate. I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried reboot to clear any wacked out session variable on the server, cleared browser cache and cookies, ......help, anyone seen this before. Searches don't return much on the keywords to be of any use.

Go to Admin CP => Templates => Quickreply(Or whatever the quickreply hack is)

if you want an image, you can trick the system like this:

#6666FF" background="myimages/myimage.gif
Note the careful arrangement of quotes.

Find

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">

would be replaced by

<td bgcolor="#6666FF" background="myimages/myimage.gif">

Hope that helps

Actually, that won't work for what he wants to do

You'd have to use some CSS, like

PHP Code:

<textarea style="background-image: url(/images/foo.gif)"></textarea>

For some reason it is not working for me, most likely I did something wrong but have no idea what is going on. Also I have 2.3.3, does that make a difference? I used 2.3.3

Also what is the install button do? Please help

The install button shows that you've installed the hack, without actually installing it for you.

Bummer lol. I still havent got it to work yet. If anyone can help me out that would be great. I am on AOL Instant Messenger a lot and my screen name is Silveradon20z If you can help me out please IM me. Thanks

I will IM you soon.

As for the install button, it only adds a record to your User CP that you installed this hack, so you can use your CP to check back to hack threads for updates.

I have been hearing of a compatibility issue with 2.3.2. and Chen's quick reply box. I believe there is a new alternative Quick Reply that involves no Hacking. Try Mist's Hackless Quick Reply Box
