Quick Reply - to modify the appearance of the waiting text · **Released**: 03-17-2006

What this does:
It's a little mod for custom vBulletin, more mainly, text which appears when to reply in quick reply (Quick Reply System).

In your ACP, check "Languages & Phrases" => "Search in Phrases" (../forum/admincp/phrase.php?do=search), choose "Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name":

Check this variable: "posting_quick_reply_please_wait"

Replace text:

"Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait"

By:

"<center><img src="http://www.your-site.com/forum/images/misc/loading.gif" alt="" /></center>" (before, upload Attach Files "loading.gif" in your file: "../forum/images/misc")

Before:

After:

(Of course, animated image ^^)

:banana: , it's little mod

Hey, and here's a way to add the same "progress graphic" to the Quick Edit, Advanced, and Delete Buttons...

I incorporated Allan's tip (giving credit where credit is due of course) here.

Works great!

Allan, in that other thread, Brad came up with a way to have different "loading" graphics for each style:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=13

That would help as my skins are all so different.

Any way to enhance your hack to allow for the same?

Oh, and for April Fool's I'm thinking of changing my "loading" graphic to this:

Yes, no problem, just modify phrases to template of Brad:

- $vbphrase[post_wait_loo]
- $vbphrase[delete_wait_loo]
- $vbphrase[bigreply_wait_loo]

Change it with my modifications and work

Huh? I'm confused by this response. Modify Brad's phrases? His are working fine and use different graphics for each skin.

Now I'd like to be able to use different graphics for the Quick Reply on each skin.

Wouldn't I modify the "posting_quick_reply_please_wait" phrase?

Allan · #37 03-22-2006, 08:18 AM

No, you have to modify the phrases to Brad hack (in her hack)

this phrases:

- post_wait_loo
- delete_wait_loo
- bigreply_wait_loo

Open the SHOWTHREAD template, find:

HTML Code:

		<div align="center" id="qr_posting_msg" style="display:none; margin-top:6px">
			<strong>$vbphrase[posting_quick_reply_please_wait]</strong>
		</div>

Replace with:

HTML Code:

		<div align="center" id="qr_posting_msg" style="display:none; margin-top:6px">
		<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/loading.gif" alt="$vbphrase[posting_quick_reply_please_wait]" border="0" />
		</div>

Now edit the phrase 'posting_quick_reply_please_wait' so it reads:

Quote:

Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait

I'm a guy

Also there is no need to futher modify my modification, as the instructions I posted do not even use the phrases to get the image. Instead mine uses a hidden div that is shown when buttons are clicked in the quick edit. What I posted above is basically the same but it piggy backs off the one already there to unhide the text.

Humm ok, i not understand the comment to Tralala ^^

		</div>

Thanks Brad, works a treat.

I still wanted the text underneath the graphic, so I actually replaced it with this:

HTML Code:

<div align="center" id="qr_posting_msg" style="display:none; margin-top:6px">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/loading.gif" alt="$vbphrase[posting_quick_reply_please_wait]" border="0" />
<br /><strong>$vbphrase[posting_quick_reply_please_wait]</strong>
</div>
