Quick Edit Loading Text

I'm sure you've noticed that posting a quick reply displays a 'Posting reply, please wait' message while the post is begin sent to the server. Ever wonder why Quick Edit doesn't do the same? I know I have...

With this modification installed a short message is displayed in the postbit template when a user edits or deletes a post via the quick edit box. I felt this was something that should have been in the code by default (and I think it will be in an up-coming version) so I made it myself and decided to release it to the community.

Requirements

1 file to edit (to file /vbulletin/clientscript/vbulletin_quick_edit.js)
2 template edits (to templates postbit, and postbit_legacy)
1 Product file import (for the phrases)

Important note

Because this modification requires that you edit the javascript files, you will have to clear your web browser's local cache before it will start working. You can do this by clearing the entire cache, or pressing ctrl+f5 while viewing any thread on your forum. [high]Please make sure you do this before you seek support! I have a feeling this is going to account for 99% of the support requests I get for this modification! [/high]

Installation instructions are in the .zip file, please click the install button and enjoy!

Remember to clear your browsers cache, otherwise the messages will not show up. You can clear the cache by pressing ctrl + f5 in any thread on your forum.

Exactly! Like this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=110758

I know I'll be attempting that...

Thanks, Brad!

Exactly! Like that lol....

Just to followup, the "loading" graphic works great here too.

(All credit for this idea goes to Allan, who shared it in this thread BTW.)

First upload an appropriate image to misc/images... one like this:

(... there are others I posted in Allan's thread linked above, or you can find many appropriate ones via Google. Search for things like "loading.gif" or "progress.gif" or "progressbar.gif.")


Then for the template edit, add in this instead:

		<!-- Quick Edit messages -->
		<br />
		<div id="qe_posting_$post[postid]" style="display:none; margin-top:6px" align="center"><img src="http://www.yourforumname.com/forums/images/misc/loading.gif" alt="" /><br /><strong>$vbphrase[post_wait_loo]</strong></div>
		<div id="qe_delete_$post[postid]" style="display:none; margin-top:6px" align="center"><img src="http://www.yourforumname.com/forums/images/misc/loading.gif" alt="" /><br /><strong>$vbphrase[delete_wait_loo]</strong></div>
		<div id="qe_advanced_$post[postid]" style="display:none; margin-top:6px" align="center"><img src="http://www.yourforumname.com/forums/images/misc/loading.gif" alt="" /><br /><strong>$vbphrase[bigreply_wait_loo]</strong></div>
		<!-- Quick Edit messages -->

No, my suggestion is meant to be done in ADDITION to Brad's code modification, I wasn't suggesting it as an alternate means of accomplishing the same thing.

Allan's code mod worked great for me, added the loading graphic to Quick Reply.

Brad's code mod works great, added the loading text to Quick Edit, Quick Delete, and Go Advanced.

I just used what I learned from Allan, to add loading graphic to the text that Brad added to Quick Edit, Quick Delete, and Go Advanced.

Make sense?

you could basiclly do the same with $vbphrase[delete_wait_loo] or any of the others and just use the phrase as a gif instead with a alt=""
