Quick PM Reply Box for Private Messages · **Released**: 01-09-2004

Quick PM Reply Box for Private Messages Version 1.4
---------------------------------------------------------

vB3 Enhanced Version!

Finally, I've upgraded this popular hack for vB 3.0.x - it should work with all versions of vB3.

Update:
--------------------

Version 1.4 :

1) Choose to use no toolbars, normal toolbar or WYSIWYG toolbar.

2) Choose to show smilie box or not.

3) Choose to show posticons or not.

To do this, edit these sections of the code you have added:

PHP Code:


			
// 0 = no toolbar, 1 = standard toolbar, 2 = wysiwyg toolbar
$vboptions['allowvbcodebuttons'] = '2';
// 0 = no smilie box, 1 = smilie box shown 
$vboptions['wysiwyg_show_smiliebox'] = '1';

AND

PHP Code:


			
// Uncomment line below to stop showing posticons
// $posticons = '';

Functions:
--------------------------

It's similar to Quick Reply for Threads, except that this is Quick Reply for PMs - when you go in to read a PM, there is a Quick Reply Box underneath the PM, with the Username inserted, Subject with RE: filled in, and the message already quoted.

This vB3 version also has the WYSIWYG buttons, smilies and posticon choices listed as well, depending on what you have set up in your ToolBar settings in Options. You can also now customize this - you can choose to have no toolbar, the normal toolbar, the WYSIWYG toolbar, the smilie box or the posticons or not!

There are also checkboxes to save a copy, show your signature, automatically parse links or disable smilies in text. Also, these options are in a box that is collapsible.

This hack uses the normal vB3 Phrases that are already existent. So no need to do any translating.

Installation:
---------------------------

Very simple. It's a matter of editing 1 PHP file, and 1 template.

Believe it or not, that's all!

The installations instructions are in the install HTML file in the ZIP file below.

Enjoy!

Updates:
----------------------

Version 1.2 - Fixed it so it works with WYSIWYG. Removed the Message Tracking checkbox feature I had in Version 1.1 - I'll keep the Popup Windows for now. NOTE: Delete doesn't work in Gamma - this is fixed in RC 1 and 2.

Screenshots:
-----------------------------

This is a bit redundant since this hack is already installed here, but I will put a couple up anyway.

The first screenshot shows how the Quick PM Reply Box is underneath the PM you are reading, with the Recipient's username, Subject with RE:, and Message in quotes automatically put in already. You can also see the WYSIWYG toolbar and smilie panel (depending on what you have set up in your User CP Options).

The second screenshot shows the checkboxes to save a copy, show your signature, automatically parse links or disable smilies in text. These options are in a box that is collapsible.

Hmm, rather than explain this I'll just show it;

I downloaded the file shortly before this post. When I reply to myself thus;

Again, no reply.
I don't have this problem on vbulletin.org so I'm going to try the installation a third time.

EDIT: No joy. Can anyone verify the updated file works for them?

A very handy addition, I never did install this for vB2, actually I did but ran into problems - hopefully no such problems here.

Nmidia · #14 01-10-2004, 04:11 PM

so far there have only been 3 hacks that worked first time for me, with no messing around. This is one of them

It worked like a dream. Very nice function mate

Zelda-King · #15 01-10-2004, 05:23 PM

It did? I'll redownload the file.

EDIT: Still no good. Has this been confirmed working on RC2?

Yes. I'm running it on RC2 with no problems (except the Delete this message button doesn't work yet).

Very nice but, "Executed 25 queries (13 queries for uncached templates)"!!

hehe

Might want to add the templates to the precached array.

Woahhh, I'm glad you caught that. I had 15 queries from uncached templates. Took it down to 16 from 31 here. Thanks!

Boofo, if you don't mind, can you post here the templates to be cached.

I can't believe I missed that. LOL! Also, regarding the delete button, I will look into fixing it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Erwin · #21 01-10-2004, 08:01 PM

I updated the ZIP file with the new templates to cache.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
