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.

There must be something else wrong then. I have MS Office XP installed and have never had a problem with this hack. It runs great here. There is no way that MS Office XP can be messing with it.

Where abouts is this line "$textareacols = gettextareawidth();"

Towards the Top, Middle, bottm... ect.

This is the only thing holding me back from finishing the install.. finding the darn code! :surprised:

About 266 post ago I asked what people should think about having the RATING function tied into the QuickReply box.

It surprized me actually that nobody replied to this, cause I think it's an indispensable thing to have if you want to be sure of people using the rate feature.

I mean, just have a look yourself at most boards who have the QuickReply installed: they all have empty Rating table cells.

I know people are lazy when it comes to rating posts, that's why we have to make this feature as easy accesible as possible, by implementing it next to the QuickReply SUBMIT button

Did I make any sense?

This is really a very long thread and I dont know either if someone else posted this modification before or if anybody can find it in hundreds of other posts, but I'll post it anyway:

This modification will configure notification mail settings of the quick box according to the default settings of the poster. That is, if the poster has enabled email notification in his user cp settings, his quick reply will be configured accordingly too. On the other hand, if his default setting of the poster is to get no notification, he will not be subscribed to the thread when he used the quick reply box..

This thread is very active so I dont have subscription here, therefore if you are replying this message, I will not be able to read.. :knockedout:

Thanks, Logician. I'll use your modification in the morning.

Would this also work?

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['emailnotification']) {
        $emailbox = 'yes';
    } else {
        $emailbox = '';
    } 


And

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$emailbox">

My quick reply box seems to be appearing at the top of the thread rather than the bottom...

Nevermind, I just switched where it goes.
