PM RealQuickReply

I've never really considered including the whole newpm box at the bottom of a pm a very "Quick" way of replying.. So after much tweaking this is what I came up with..

PM RealQuickReply v1.01

Firstly install the attached product file..

Next we need to edit the pm_newpm template.

find:

<tr>
	<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[post_new_private_message]</td>
</tr>

replace with:

<tr>
	<td class="tcat"><if condition="($_REQUEST['do'] == 'showpm')">Quickreply to $originalposter<else />$vbphrase[post_new_private_message]</if></td>
</tr>

find:

<!-- recipients field -->

add above:

<if condition="($_REQUEST['do'] == 'showpm')">
<input type="hidden" id="pmrecips_txt" name="recipients" value="$pm[recipients]">
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="$pm[title]">

		<!-- message area -->
		<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[message]:</div>		
		<div id="$editorid" class="vBulletin_editor" align="$stylevar[left]">$messagearea</div>
		<!-- / message area -->

<else />

find:

$posticons

add above:

</if>

Your done with that template.

Now we need to edit the pm_showpm template.

find and remove:

<form action="private.php" method="post">

now find:

$postbit

<br />

and below it add:

$vBeditTemplate[clientscript]
$quickpmreply
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_quick_reply.js"></script>

<form action="private.php" method="post">

and your done.. Enjoy :bunny: (Please remember to click install to be informed of updates)

Changelog:
v1.00 Initial Release
v1.01 pm_newpm Edit changed in the hope of a more troublefree install.


--------------
Optional Extras
--------------

To add support for Psionic Vision's Advanced PM Options

(Firstly Install that hack) Then in the PM RealQuickReply Plugin [private_showpm_start] hook find:

  $is_quick_reply = 1;
  eval('$quickpmreply = "' . fetch_template('pm_newpm') . '";');

above that add:

$checked['savecopy'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_savecopy'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '');

$checked['receipt'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_receipt'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '');

$checked['deleteoriginal'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_deleteoriginal'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '');

and your done

The posting table is out of the original table. It is stretched out.

I've got a similar problem (but slightly different as I'm using a different style).
It's the usercp navigation that does it.

When the QR box is used on the rest of the forum there isn't any sidebar to push it across. I think the only solution is to make it smaller throughout the site via admincp -> styles -> stylevars

Took a fresh look at it and all installed well! Thanks! One question though...

I use ALT+S on every vB page to send the text after I finish typing. The problem is when I finish writing the quick reply, using ALT+S hits the "Delete PM" button. Any idea how to change that?

I can't even get this to show up in my PM's and I followed everything as I was supposed to. I'm having problems understanding the plugin stuff. I can do the template edits, that's easy -- what the heck is with the other?

[Megareus Rex]

My problem is that it gives an errir (at least in IE), that is "threaded_mode is undefined." I'm guessing its because I have threaded mode turned off?

How can I fix it? It's not a crippling error, but nonetheless.

Besides that though, AWESOME HACK. I've been waiting forever for this.

[Elsie]

i found it!


thanks hun, you're a star - will install this soon!

[Jeordie015]

Is there a way to get the options below the postbox. The "quote message in reply" and "show signature" selectors? They're not there for me. I'm not sure if they should be.

[EasyTarget]

I'll be giving this a shot.

does anyone know how the change the smilies box to the pulldown menu instead of the popup box?

[EasyTarget]

installed and working on 3.6

is there a way I can apply the smiles in quick reply and quick edit hack to this one as well?

[Coldhands]

Works great in 3.6.4!

Installed!

Only one thing . . . is there a way to make it so it adds the previous messages below the new quick reply? Like a quote button?
