Reply to all button in private messages · **Released**: 12-10-2006

As requested on, this plug-in allows users to reply to all users via PM, much like many modern email clients. To install simply download and install the XML file and then make the following modifications to your postbit/postbit_legacy templatebits:

Find:

<if condition="$post['replylink']"> <a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a> </if>

Add below (or above):

<if condition="$post['replylink'] && THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'"> <a href="$post[replylink]&r=all" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_all.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_to_all]" border="0" /></a> </if>

You then need to create a button and name it "reply_all.gif". Place it in your skin's button folder. For the default skin, place it in images/buttons, for other skins please refer to its documentation.

You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required.

EDIT: Thanks to EricR for the button

This doesn't appear to be working with 3.8....

Works for me in 3.8

The button is showing up but when I select it I get this on the next page:

Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/private.php(1333) : eval()'d code on line 4

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in [path]/private.php(1333) : eval()'d code on line 6

I'm running 3.7.3

Thanks

It works with both single and multiple recipients, and would save having two separate buttons.

Thanks, BTW, just what my members were looking for.

Cheers,

But what if you want to reply to the sender and not all? I like having both.

I've found a quirk in the code. If you click the "reply to all" button and YOU were the only recipient the code throws an error and you get a blank screen:

anyone want to take a crack at fixing this?

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