New Posting Features - Quick Reply for Guests by BOP5

Updated to 0.91

0.9: Initial Release
0.91: Fixed bug where hman verify would not show

This is a mod to enable guests to use the Quick-Reply function in VB 3.8.x.

Guests would usually need to press the "Post Reply" button to make a reply. Now they can reply like everyone else using Quick-Reply.

The option will ONLY show on threads where they have permission to post a reply.

If you have human verification manager enabled they will also see the human verification question which they must answer correctly to have their post posted.

Live Demo: http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...st-Thread-Test (VB4 Version in the demo)

This is ONLY for VB 3.8, it will not work on 4.x. VB4 Version: Link

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
Donations are always appreciated.

If nothing happens even with the manual edits there's nothing much I can do. But I notice you don't seem to have guest posting enabled at all- this mod won't let guests quick-reply unless you already give them permission to post to begin with.

Hello, thanks for this mod.

Got it working on vBulletin 4.1.2 Patch Level 3

imported mod
turned off auto edit
Used the code below in place of what's in the readme

PHP Code:

 <vb:if condition="$show[bop5username]">
<div>{vb:rawphrase username}: <input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" value="{vb:raw vboptions.bop5qrg_username}" tabindex="1" /></div>
</vb:if> 


One thing, if someone changes the default name when posting it does not change it in their post in admin cp, it stays as the default name.
Did it work in the original, can it be fixed?

That's really weird, in my experimenting I found the permissions were different in vb 4.x then 3.x and that was the main reason (I thought) the 3.x code wouldn't work on 4.x.

I will investigate this on 4.x and see what I can see, thanks for the info. :up:

How's it going?

Don't know if this is the way quick reply normally works but if I use it on a thread that has more than one page, not the last page, after submitting the post I get kicked back to forum display. If I use quick reply on the last page it works fine, after submitting the post it stays on the same thread page.

[BirdOPrey5]

haven't started yet... that is not the way quick reply should work, probably a bug since it doesn't think quick reply should be enabled.

If I change this code in showthread.php it works, but is it safe to change?

PHP Code:

// only allow ajax on the last page of a thread when viewing oldest first
        $show['allow_ajax_qr'] = (($vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] == ceil($totalposts / $perpage)) ? 1 : 0); 


Change to:

PHP Code:

// only allow ajax on the last page of a thread when viewing oldest first
        $show['allow_ajax_qr'] = 1; 


[BirdOPrey5]

I don't think that should work right... but try it.

[steveneff]

It does look to be working ok. What do you think would not work right?

[BirdOPrey5]

What happens if you add a quick-reply on a page other than the last page?

[steveneff]

Before making that change to showthread.php if you used quickreply on a page other than the last page, once the post had been submitted you would be kicked to the threads forumdisplay page.
With the change in place the you stay on the same thread page after the post has been submitted.
