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.

@ otacon - the code snippet in the 'showthread' template...

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

...shows up a total of 4 times - $replybox should be after the fourth instance of it - you have it placed after the second instance of it.

Easy mistake to make...

Hey Firefly!

/me moves his whole site to new server, installs VB 2.2.7, and installs this most excellent hack!

Many thanks!

I'm using it on vB 2.2.7 with Quick Thread and the Store hack already installed. I get errors with this hack, it comes up with a Permissions error. I'm guessing that this hack won't work because I've got the Store hack and the Quick Thread hack installed?

How can i make it so that only admins can see the quick box when the thread is closed? Now can moderators see and post in the box too!

Ok, here is a problem for you guys/gals. I have preformed hack as detailed in the readme untill the last step. I don't have a showthread template to modify by adding $replybox to (at least not that I can find) I have no box no nothing as far as my fourm nothing has changed. I inherited this fourm from another person, and I am assuming there is something acting like a showthread template as the fourm works, but I can't find the script that I need to add to....................HELP

PS the showthread_replybox template is there and will preview
I am running version 2.2.1 if that matters

Firefly......somebody.........I am sure this is an easy fix for you (not for me). Do I need to make a showthread template since I dont have one, and what code needs to be in there.................

[Pro]

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}
// ##################################################
And replace it with the following:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

I'm on 2.2.7 and those two:

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

aren't together...

so where do i add:

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

please help, i had the same problem in 2.2.6
