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.

The vB 2.3.2 quickreplybox_v11.txt download from post #1099 produces a slight
JavaScript error. The attached has a fix.

Also, if you want to get this:

[check message length] [ ] Subscribe to Thread? [ ] Use Signature? Go

to appear below the vB 2.3.2 Quick Reply box, it is also included in the attached.

calorie · #**1164** 09-09-2003, 02:45 PM

Have you added the replybox variable, like so, to the showthread template?


$replybox

blakkboy · #**1165** 09-09-2003, 02:49 PM

yeap i have and still nothing

calorie · #**1166** 09-09-2003, 02:59 PM

What do you see when you view the HTML source - where the replybox is supposed to be on the showthread.php page? Also, just in case, the replybox only shows when you are logged into your board.

Thanks, but I meant on the actual webpage, when you right click and view source, right after the following, what do you see?

Code:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"  align="center">
<tr>
	<td><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >&nbsp;</font></td>
	<td align="right"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >
	<img src="images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
	<a href="showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=59&amp;goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
	&nbsp;
	<a href="showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=59&amp;goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
	<img src="images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
	</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

Also, do you have any other hacks installed? What's your board URL - PM it if wanted?

Edit: The problem blakkboy was having has been fixed.

fantasyten · #**1169** 09-14-2003, 04:00 PM

what am I doing wrong! What is meant to go in the new template? Just the words:
Post Reply
Your Reply: [check message length]

??My computer may not be showing this up right?

fantasyten · #**1170** 09-14-2003, 04:06 PM

think it may be that my reader of the code is showing up the insert code to put in template: showthread_replybox
What should I put in this template?

Nathan_R · #**1171** 09-14-2003, 08:42 PM

sweet! Thanks for the hack (and javascript fix); it's beautiful
