Quick Thread hack (like quick reply, on forumdisplay!)

This hack is like the quick reply hack but on forumdisplay, so when viewing a forum, if the user has proper permissions to make a new thread then this quick thread box will show up for them.

Also view the screenshot to see how it looks

Additions

• make it look better
• able to collapse the table

Thanks, I missed adding that step. Fixed now, just find the part in the instructions where you have to modify the forumdisplay template

What would be good is if you can incorporate the WYSIWYG interface... but I like it like this since it loads quickly.

this is a neat hack however how would we restrict this for certain groups only like admins and mods or vice versa

Replace the else in the new code with

PHP Code:

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X) 


Don't forget to replace X with the usergroupids!

Add the following for more usergroups

PHP Code:

 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X
