Quick PM Reply Box for Private Messages

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.

No problem. Problem is solved.

If you installed the most recent version of the attachments in pm you will not have any problems, but if you installed it before this post was made then please go here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...694#post461694 as you might have to make some code modifications.

Erwin, with the Quick PM Reply hack installed this:

Confirm Outstanding Receipt

no longer has the reciept recipient name before it. It looks like this now:

has requested a read receipt - Confirm?

with no name at the beginning. It is the same way on here. Can this be fixed?

I never noticed that. I am very busy with a new job at the moment, so when I find the time I will do it.

This works great with RC4 too. :up:

[Boofo]

And fix yet for the

Confirm Outstanding Receipt

not showing the from username?

[Erwin]

I'm still trying to find time to upgrade my forums, as well as reorganize my forum categories. Sorry, I just got a new job which is extremely busy. I will get to it.

Excellent work.

Installed.

For the people that are using the attachments in private messages hack, if you want to add attachment support for the quick reply:

in Erwin's hack, look for this:

    $signaturechecked = iif($bbuserinfo['signature'] != '', HTML_CHECKED);

change it to

    $signaturechecked = iif($bbuserinfo['signature'] != '', HTML_CHECKED);
	$attachtypes = unserialize($datastore['attachmentcache']);
	$poststarttime = TIMENOW;  
	$posthash = md5($poststarttime . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);
	$attachurl = "privateattachment=1";

	eval('$attachmentoption = "' . fetch_template('newpost_attachment') . '";');

You need the attachments in pm hack and this hack installed of course.

Okay, I'm new to hacking in vB and I just installed this and it looks a little different from yours - instead of Post New Reply it says Send, but I'm pretty sure I did it right! I attached screencaps - ignore the ugly colors, I'm working on it
