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.

I've got a modification that I wrote for my forums that allows users to turn the quick reply box on/off in their profile. If anyone's interesting, let me know, because otherwise I won't bother .

I'm very interesting, and also very interested in this hack.

(Actually, I'm quite boring.)

I want to be mature about this so...gimme, gimme, gimme, pweez!

Since I already have two requests...

First, run this database query:

ALTER TABLE user ADD showquickreply tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' not null AFTER nosessionhash

EDIT: Corrected it to "AFTER nosessionhash" (I forgot I was basing the location after another hack I installed )

That will set the default to show the quick reply - changing "DEFAULT '1'" to "DEFAULT '0'" should set the default to no display.

Make a new template "modifyoptions_showquickreply" with the following contents:

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><b>Show Quick Reply Box?</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Disabling this option will hide the quick reply boxes at the end of
each thread. You can still reply by clicking on "Post Reply".</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="showquickreply" value="yes" $showquickreplychecked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="showquickreply" value="no" $showquickreplynotchecked> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

Now, in member.php, after:

PHP Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[nosessionhash]) {
    $nosessionhashchecked="checked";
    $nosessionhashnotchecked="";
  } else {
    $nosessionhashchecked="";
    $nosessionhashnotchecked="checked";
  } 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  if ($bbuserinfo[showquickreply]) {
    $showquickreplychecked="checked";
    $showquickreplynotchecked="";
  } else {
    $showquickreplychecked="";
    $showquickreplynotchecked="checked";
  }
// Show Quick Reply Option 


Still in member.php, before:

PHP Code:

  eval("dooutput("".gettemplate("modifyoptions")."");");
}

// ############################### start update options ############################### 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  eval("\$showquickreplyoption = "".gettemplate("modifyoptions_showquickreply")."";");
// Show Quick Reply Option 


EDIT: Forgot this step at first, but here it is . In member.php after:

In member.php, after:

PHP Code:

  $cookieuser=iif($cookieuser=="yes",1,0);
  $nosessionhash=iif($nosessionhash=="yes",1,0); 


Add:

PHP Code:

// Show Quick Reply Option
  $showquickreply=iif($showquickreply=="yes",1,0);
// Show Quick Reply Option 


Still in member.php, find:

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE user
                   SET ".$updatestyles."adminemail='$adminemail',
                      showemail='$showemail',invisible='$invisible',cookieuser='$cookieuser',
                      maxposts='".addslashes($umaxposts)."',daysprune='".addslashes($prunedays)."',
                      timezoneoffset='".addslashes($timezoneoffset)."',emailnotification='$emailnotification',
                      startofweek='".addslashes($startofweek)."',options='$options',receivepm='$receivepm',
                      emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',
                      nosessionhash='$nosessionhash' 


Add (continuing previous line):

,showquickreply='$showquickreply'

Finally, in showthread.php, after:

PHP Code:

} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
    $replybox=''; 


(Note: you'll have to install the regular quick reply hack first to find this)

Add:

PHP Code:

} elseif ($bbuserinfo['showquickreply']==0) {
    $replybox=''; 


EDIT: One final step I forgot:

Edit the modifyoptions template. After the following code:

<!-- *** -->
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#1D6AA0" colspan="2"><normalfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Thread View Options</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<!-- *** -->

Add:

$showquickreplyoption

There, that should do the trick . If you have any trouble or can't get it to work, let me know.

vB 2.2.6
Been trying to add the smilies to this with no luck...
I tried $vbcode_smilies as in the new reply,etc.. but it is not working. Anyone know the code?

Thanks,

[Boofo]

To add smilies to the quick reply box:

Add this line:

PHP Code:

$clickysmilies = getclickysmilies(); 


to showthread.php right after this:

PHP Code:

$textareacols = gettextareawidth(); 


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:

PHP Code:

<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.
