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

Works fine in my 3.8.2

QUESTION: I want to change PM's "quick reply" to be "reply to all" rather then just "reply"
Spent an hour digging back and forth in source - no luck.

Would, someone, please advise me, where to dig?

Nevermind - done.

Does this still work in VB4? It's a pretty simple and nice touch.

I was able to get this to work in vb4 .. I just used the following code in my postbit template:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink'] && THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">
<a id="qrwqa_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&r=all" rel="nofollow" ><img id="quoteimga_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/trans_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" /> Reply to All</a>
<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
</vb:if>

Otherwise, I think the installation instructions should work OK. Heck, it might even work as suggested in the installation instructions. I just utilized the 'reply' code in vb4 with a slight modification for 'all'

Guys,

To get this to work on 3.8.4 PL2 or any 3.8 actually! Use this in the template, this will fix the array issues you are having.

HTML Code:

<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>

All we did was change the 'replylink' to replylink

Need for vb4 please

ex0thermic · #49 03-29-2010, 05:55 PM

Seconded. My forum users are bugging me nonstop about this. I'm surprised it's not built into vb4 or that there's not even a hack for it.

Okay, here's how I got it to work in vB 4.0.2 (for idiots like myself that couldn't figure it out before). This is essentially just a dumbed-down reiteration of brott's post.

1) download and install the .xml product in the OP
2) upload the "reply all" button from the OP (or one of your choice) into your images/buttons folder. Make sure it is named "reply_all.gif"
3) Go into your postbit_legacy template and find the following

PHP Code:


			
<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">

                        <a id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" rel="nofollow"><img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" /> {vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}</a> 

                    <span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>

                    </vb:if>

And UNDER IT, add this

PHP Code:


			
<vb:if condition="$post['replylink'] && THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">

<a id="qrwqa_{vb:raw post.postid}" class="newreply" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}&r=all" rel="nofollow" ><img id="quoteimga_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/reply_all.gif" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" /> Reply to All</a>

<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>

</vb:if>

Do this and you should be good to go.
