Quick Reply Box

Here's an easy one, it barely took 4 minutes to do. :china:
This hack will add a quick replying box at the bottom of all threads, only if the user has permission to reply, so when you need to reply to something real quickly you don't need to click the Post Reply button and wait for the page to load.

Instructions are in the attached .txt file, and if you want a demo... just look below.

NOTE: For the vB 2.3.2 version please see this post.

Extras:

• If you want users who have the Use Email Notification option ON, to automatically subscribe to threads they reply to with this hack, see this post.
  
• If you want to add an option for each user to turn this feature on and off, please see this post.
  
• If you want smilies in your quick reply box please see this post.

fredinsic & Recluse guys in the "Showthread Template" put $replybox under this

PHP Code:


    <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
    <img src="{imagesfolder}/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
    </smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

in the first line in 2.2.2.

I notice in the replacement code provided by firefly.. it doesnt include this extra bit.. shall I just assume we are suppose to add it ourselves on or just put the code Firefly gave us and ignore this or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) bit of code ?

Is it possbile that when users hit quote, the text gets automatically put in in the quick reply box?

[freakyshiat]

mine check message length doesnt work, any ideas?

3rd time asking

i was looking for the answer to this one too. read every page, like the hack, makes it eazy to reply - all the bells and whistles for some - some want it simple.

the differance in code found - should it be added or not???

or don't matter...

Did my post get deleted?? It showed up at least for awhile?! I installed just as directions stated... Have 2.2.2... Newly installed board... Doesn't show up... Possibly misunderstanding something taken for granted everyone knows... Haven't been able to find a newbie guide to installing hacks... Just newbie guide to learning php and stuff... Don't want to learn php today, maybe next month, but need to get baord up this month, lol... I made my changes to showthread on my computer, then uploaded to server and overwrote the one there... step 2 and 3 done from cp... correct?

Thanks a lot FireFly... installed this a long time ago, but I never replied here. Wonderful hack. Working demo @ http://www.teenagedweb.com

[bill-t]

disregard my earlier post, just got it working... My first working hack - my second attempted one... Thanks FireFly, this is very useful... My board is aimed at a unsophisicated user base - they'll need it...

Ken, keep the bit of code.

Anyone else noticed he's posting a lot more because of this hack? I find myself replying to threads I would never have because it's much easier now.

[Vivi Ornitier]

indeed, everyone uses the quick reply now! hehe, i only wish it worked with that composite time hack, but oh well . . i guess when someone sees composed in 10699595959 minutes, they'll know that that user used the quick reply box!
