a conditional that says "if this is NOT the quick edit box..."

[BigJohnny]

im having a problem with a form im using on editpost, when someone does a quick edit, the information in this form is cleared, so when they save it, they will need to edit again, and fill in this info all over again in the full edit.

I dont want to turn off quick edit, but i dont want this data erased every time either.

Is there a hook location that i can use to load this form when the quick edit box is called, or is there a conditional that i can add to the existing plugin php code that will tell it not to do what its doing if it is in the quick edit?

Not sure why it would be erasing your edit........when you click on quick edit it should show the post you are editing and allow for such change...if you click edit again, it should take you to the full edit option.....

Maybe check your settings in vbulletin option's: Message Posting and Editing Options, Quick Edit, By enabling Quick Edit, a click on the Edit button in a post will open an editor within that post via AJAX if the visitor's browser is compatible, and select "yes"........

This is an additional form that is placed on newthread and editpost by using $form

I had a problem first where any user who replied and edited there reply could view/edit this info... so i fixed this, and now only the thread starter can edit the info..... now the problem is when the quick edit is enabled, and someone does an edit, i guess this form is mysterously loading in the background or hidden or something, and its loading empty... so when the user saves their reply, it makes the information in the main post blank.

I need a way to stop this form from loading "hidden" when a user is doing a quick edit, or a better way to make sure that ONLY the thread starter can modify this info when a thread is edited.

what form?

[BigJohnny]

its just a form consisting of text boxes.

Basically to add a little description of the thread and other info.
Obviously only the thread starter should be able to edit this info and using the quick edit shouldnt clear its info.

but if i have quick edit enabled, it does just that.
any replies that are edited using quick edit will cause this form to clear and empty data to be submitted to the database.
of course if they go advanced, then the form loads and it is empty.

using quick edit period, causes this form to be emptied... although the form never shows up in the quick edit box.
