Quick Edit! -Edit posts directly from within the thread itself

Hi,

This hack will allow your users to Edit their posts without having to load the editpost page..

How it works: In the bottom lefthand corner of all your posts will be a small "QuickEdit" radio button (users will only see it in posts which belong to them).. When you click it a small text box will instantly drop down below your post allowing you to edit it in the thread itself.
This will save you a lot of time when fixing those spelling mistakes, typos, or broken links.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

Download Quick Edit (Click Here).

Update: For those who prefer an image button instead of a radio button use these instructions.
Note: Image button version does not work with mozilla browsers!

Also, added a check box for the signature to both versions.

Quick Edit for VB3 can be found here.




If you find this hack useful please click the install button.

This is a very nice hack and my users love it, but clickable smilies in quickreply are not clickable anymore...
Is there a way to make them work ?

Thanks anyway !

Hmm... Try this.. In the showthread_quickedit template find "vbform" and replace it with "vbulletinform".. Let me know if that fixes it.. I'll update the hack instructions.

Nope Doesn't work. Same thing. When you click on a smilie in Quick Reply they no longer work.

Oh, and thanks for the Mod and Admin settings. Works great.

Ok, I'll look into it more.. Do you by chance have the QuickQuote add on for your Quick Reply box? This could be causing it.

{edit} I just added clickable smilies to my quick reply and its working fine for me.. So I'm guessing that you guys have also installed my quick quote addon for quick reply? And if you did, maybe you forgot to follow these steps in the instructions for the addon?

Note: If you have clickable smilies with your Quick Reply you will need to find and replace ALL occurrences of "vbform" with "post" in the following places:
vbcode.js
newreply template
newthread template
vbcode_popup_smilies template

Nice, more hacks geared toward aiding our laziness

No, I didn't install your quick quote at first. I installed then for test and smilies become clickable after all the modifs (you must modify the templates for calendar and private messaging, too).
But it's now quite a long hack to install

Ah, good catch.. I completely forgot about those two, and also editpost. I updated the post in the other thread.

great hack. got it installed.

one thing tho, how would i change the code to make it popout instead of to the right but pop out top the left. this is only because I am using a image like the edit and quote ones and want to place it next to the edit and quote buttons in my postbit which are in the same place as the edit and quote on this site. at the mo, if i put the button there it scrolls off the page to the right.
