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.

Something is up here, I'm trying to install this on vB 2.3.3 and its just not working,
the showthread_replybox template is created, the $replybox in the showthread template is there, and i did infact upload the new showthread.php..

very weird, im kinda confused since it worked for everyone else...

[bigdaddy04]

installed this one:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1180

works fine, but its on top of the page instead of the bottom in showthread.php

[bigdaddy04]

never mind, its all fine...

except i want the fields to be checkboxes, not hidden fields...how can i do that?

where is everyone??

Here is my showthread_replybox template...everything works, except the signature, url parsing and email notification options..

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var postmaxchars = $postmaxchars;
function validate(theform) {
	if (theform.message.value=="") {
		alert("Please complete the message field.");
		return false; }
	if (postmaxchars != 0) {
		if (theform.message.value.length > $postmaxchars) {
			alert("Your message is too long.\n\nReduce your message to $postmaxchars characters.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long.");
			return false; }
		else { return true; }
	} else { return true; }
}
function checklength(theform) {
	if (postmaxchars != 0) { message = "\nThe maximum permitted length is $postmaxchars characters."; }
	else { message = ""; }
	alert("Your message is "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long."+message);
}
//-->
</script>

I did do that one =\

thats the one thats not working

[bigdaddy04]

where is everyone!?

[Elyk X]

to busy working on vb3, but the only reason i installed vb2 again was cause it has hacks that vb3 doesnt have yet. like..the rpg hacks.

I had a quick reply working on my old 2.2.8 version....but for some reason this ones just being stupid.

[Solid-Snake]

I cant find this bit in my showthread.php. I can find the first line of it but not the rest, its different. It says to find this

// ##################################################
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;
}

Instead I have

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

	$bbcodeon=iif($forum[allowbbcode],$ontext,$offtext);
	$imgcodeon=iif($forum[allowimages],$ontext,$offtext);
	$htmlcodeon=iif($forum[allowhtml],$ontext,$offtext);
	$smilieson=iif($forum[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

	$post=$DB_site->query_first("
	SELECT
	post.*,post.username AS postusername,post.ipaddress AS ip,user.*,userfield.*,".iif($forum[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
	attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,attachment.visible AS attachmentvisible,attachment.counter
	".iif($avatarenabled,",avatar.avatarpath,NOT ISNULL(customavatar.avatardata) AS hascustomavatar,customavatar.dateline AS avatardateline","")."
	FROM post
	".iif($forum[allowicons],'LEFT JOIN icon ON icon.iconid=post.iconid','')."
	LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=post.userid
	LEFT JOIN userfield ON userfield.userid=user.userid
	".iif ($avatarenabled,"LEFT JOIN avatar ON avatar.avatarid=user.avatarid
	                       LEFT JOIN customavatar ON customavatar.userid=user.userid","")."
	LEFT JOIN attachment ON attachment.attachmentid=post.attachmentid
	WHERE post.postid = '$postid'
	");

	if (!$getperms['cangetattachment']) {
		$viewattachedimages=0;
	}

and I also have this in the same code

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

if ($noshutdownfunc) {
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
  $shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}

if ($bbuserinfo[cookieuser]) {
  set_bbarraycookie('threadview', $threadid, time());
}

Can someone tell me what to do I really want this its like a necessity.

I use 2.3.4 despite what it says to the left.
