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.

hellsatan,

It was working fine before. I have been through the showthread.php at least 10 times trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm not sure what is causing it.

Nice hack - pretty easy to install.

On my forums I couldn't find exactly where to add the $replybox part to the Showthread but worked it out for myself.

Thanks Chen!

But you will need to move the hack down a bit I think... mess with it a little.

Yeah! Thanks... It worked! :classic:

I put the check you suggested between the others :

PHP Code:

} elseif ($pagenumber != ceil($totalposts/$perpage)) {    // replybox on the last page only 
    $replybox=''; 


and MOVED the entire block brutally at the end of showthread.php, just before the template evaluation...
I tried a couple places above, but think it should at least be after the $limitlower/$limitupper stuff. Truthfully, that box goes at the end of the page, doesn't it ?

:classic:
Thanks again.

@Boofo...

Hmmm...

Send me an email of your Showthread template to : thephora@hotmail.com

I shall look through it and see if I can find any problems or errors...

Other than that, I have no clue...

It is on it's way to you. And thank you for taking the time to look at this. :-)

Uhm, how can I set it so, that if a user has - Email notification set to yes/ or /no- that this quick reply box hack will use it?

This might be a bug. When a user posts using the quick reply the thread does not update in the active threads. This is aparent on my board because I link to the active threads.

For example: in this thread http://degster.com/midi/board/t13.html

I posted last however it does not say this here: http://degster.com/midi/board/search...&searchid=2803

(yes, I know it's linked to an individual search)

I assume that this will still work in Version 2.2.5 even though it says it's for 2.2.3 since it's being used here

My question is... Is the coding still the same or do I have to look for different code or implement different code?

Thanks for helping a newbie

[tpearl5]

There's no differences that I noticed when I installed everything.

Thanks I'm going to try it then
