New Posting Features - Quick Reply for Guests for VB4 by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

This is a port of my VB 3.8 Mod.

Live Demo: Guest Forum at Qapla.com

This mod allows guests to use Quick Reply.

Quick Reply will only be shown in threads in which guests are allowed to post.

If human verification is enabled, that too will be displayed for the guest.

I have tested this on 4.1.10, I expect it should work on all 4.0.x/4.1.x versions.

Although it was a simple result it was actually pretty tricky to get this mod working right.

I've marked this as Beta because it is new but it is working for me without issue.

v0.98 - Initial Release (for VB4)
v0.981 - Bug Fix- Human Verify will only show if human verify enabled for posts
v0.985 - Updated to work with SolveMedia Captcha

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

I have removed the ESB side bar on the thread display, and voila that's perfect

Works very good, excepts the verification code in my case. I tested it on your site and there it works. Strange.
But's all fine.. I'm currently moderate Guest's post first.
Hum.. But I want the field with Unregistered above. What should I do ? It currently appears under the box.

Later Edit:
Saw the correction above later.
Fixed the position of "Unregistered".
Thanks!

Blueperspective, I've left the human verfiication off as like you I moderate all posts first so don't see the point.

I would rather look over any guest post than have them verify a image and it be posted to the board and could be completely irrelevant.

As you have the same setup as me, this mod ties in nicely with moderating the guest posts - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=241301

Brill Birdofprey - It does exactly what it needs to , looks good and ties in nicely with the other mods I use.

I haven't tested the verification as don't have it enabled so can't help with whether that works or not.

Thanks for your suggestion, deverill. Btw.. our professional fields are similar. I'm student in Nursing. :P

One thing I have noticed is that if I do click on the +Reply to thread button (top or bottom) of the page then I get a little circle which goes around and around but doesn't do anything.

I have guest posting enabled in this forum and in theory when the +Reply to thread button is clicked it should take me to the advanced reply box.

The ckeditor is interferring with it by the looks of the little black (loading) circle which keeps going around, see here - click on the +Reply to thread button (top or bottom)

ETA: Blueperspective, is that what your sites is about? Nursing? We have a few nurses on our

I'm seeing what you mean about pressing reply... will work on that.

Another thing I have noticed is that I have the human verification turned on (Q&A), but for guests I have it set to NO for posting.

But the Q&A box still shows?

Yeah I see I didn't check for that. Just updated to 0.981, that will fix that bug.

If you modified the showthead_complete plugin make a copy of it before you upgrade because upgrading will revert all plugins to the original. You can then paste in your code again after the upgrade.

As for the circle/loading that I do see it on the forum that was linked to (since removed) but as you can see in my demo forum link it does not happen there, so I am as of yet unsure what is causing it.

Installed, checking how it works.

Hopefully fine.

Edit: Too good, very nice working.

Thanx

G!

Thanks for the update, Q&A box removed as should be! Ty.

regarding the circle loading thing, it must be interferring with another mod then? If you want admin access to explore any possibilities of what may be interferring with your mod then do let me know.
