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.

so the same can be said for close thread on reply hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33718 ?

ok i'm lost what does that install/uninstall button at the top of the thread do?

All that does is add this hack to your "Installed Hacks" section on your control panel. You still have to install the hack on your server.

I'd like to be able to add the attach file to the QRB. Is there an easy way to do this?

Why?
Not trying to be 'cool', just shortening my code.

Ok, I have it working for me (Administrator) but everyone else says they don't see it? I tried the fix that was posted back around page 3 and it didn't help. I seem to be the only one that can see the quick reply box? Any suggestions? I double checked the showthread file and my changes are in there and the part of the code where it checks for ismoderator, is commented out.

I am so grateful/thankful for this hack, Chen. I just wish all of your instructions, including adding smiles would be in one file, to make it easier for everyone to not have to look around all over the thread to get instructions. Good work! Thanks again.
I like when little things do big things.

then use $clickysmilies in the showthread_quickreply template to add the box with the smilies in it, but you will also need to add these two lines:

<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode_language.js"></script>

to the template right after the <form> tag. That should work.

Wow this is even handier than I thought...

The reason it's not in the installation file is that it's an extension to the hack a user requested, and not part of the hack.
And thank you for the kudos.

Sorry, for the benefit of dumb folks like us, could you tell us precisely where to put $clickysmilies in the showthread_quickreply template please. Unfortunately, I can't find any of your replies that talk about this.

Thanks in advance!
