Quick PM Reply Box · **Released**: 05-02-2002

Quick PM Reply Hack Version 2.4 - by Dr. Erwin Loh
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspired by Firefly, Neo, Vincent "MW" Chan

Version 2.4 for vBulletin 2.3.0 - 23rd of March 2003
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a simple hack that puts a "Quick PM Reply" box underneath a PM that you have received, with the username, subject and message in quotes already inserted. All you need to do is to just type the reply and click send. In the new version, you also have the option of deleting the original PM when you send the reply, as well as multiple options like saving the copy, and message tracking.

Upgrading from version 1.x - just make the 2nd PHP file changes, and copy and paste the the new template changes over the old one.

Version 2 additions:
--------------------------

Added options using checkboxes to:

1) Delete original: Delete original PM from PM box when you send reply
2) Automatically parse URLs.
3) Show Signature.
4) Save a copy: Also save a copy in the 'Sent Items' folder.
5) Request Read Receipt: Choose message tracking.

Version 2.1 - minor bug fix to make the icon change after a message is sent.
Version 2.2 - minor bug fix to make sure the delete tickbox works.
Version 2.3 - fixed a minor template issue
Version 2.4 - fixed the multiple RE: bug

NEW: Added minor addition to make cursor go automatically to the PM Quick Reply Box.

NOTE: To get the newest attachment, you need to clear your browser cache - otherwise you may download the previous version text file.

Ok fair enough, I'll sift through it and see if I can find the error ... but if i had accidently deleted that part of the code, wouldnt it not work at all even when using the regular PM reply instead of the quick PM box? Cuz it works then ... thats whats so odd.

Erwin · #**113** 09-09-2002, 11:02 PM

Is this happening to anyone else using this hack? Or is this an isolated problem? Because this problem doesn't occur with my forums.

yzztik · #**114** 09-09-2002, 11:22 PM

Well, I know that it happens for sure in one other board that I frequent and I did not install that one though we have similar hacks *shrug*

I am curious to know if anyone else is having the problem ...

Great Hack Erwin !

But I must say, I have the same error, that after a reply with the Quick-Box the icon of the original PM is not changed.

(vB Vers. 2.2.6)

J?rg

P.S. I found the error why the icon was not correct (the field "messageread" was not updated correct.

In the template modification of your hack the wrong line is:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="privatemessageid" value="$privatemessageid">

It must be

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="prevmessageid" value="$privatemessageid">

After that change it works correct.

Ahhh... thanks Jorg. I have both lines in my forums - the line that I put in the hack is the line for the private message preview hack. That's why I never had this problem.

When I wrote the installation file, I deleted the standard line and kept the wrong line for this hack.

I meant to delete that one, not the one that is standard.

I've fixed the installation text file, and sent an update to all who installed this so they know to fix it.

Erwin, I just installed this hack, because my users have been requesting it. I think it'll be nice, and the install was problem-free.

However, when I check the box to delete the original PM, I always get this message:

Quote:

No privatemessage specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

I haven't made any modifications to private.php or the privmsg template before this. I'm running vb 2.2.7. Any further info needed, please let me know.

Thanks!

great hack

Erwin · #**119** 09-25-2002, 11:23 PM

Yeah, and I've updated the installation text file to version 2.2 to reflect this.

Erwin · #**120** 09-25-2002, 11:23 PM

Okay, a minor bug fix.

It seems that you need BOTH lines in the template.

Make sure that you have BOTH of these lines in the template code that you add to "privmsg" - the first one is needed for the delete box to work, the second one for the icon to change to SENT when a message is replied to.

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="privatemessageid" value="$privatemessageid">
<input type="hidden" name="prevmessageid" value="$privatemessageid">

Sorry about this.

I knew that the first line was there for a reason!

Once more, thanks for this great hack!

Works like a charm on vb 2.2.0!

Thanks!
