Quick Edit! -Edit posts directly from within the thread itself

Hi,

This hack will allow your users to Edit their posts without having to load the editpost page..

How it works: In the bottom lefthand corner of all your posts will be a small "QuickEdit" radio button (users will only see it in posts which belong to them).. When you click it a small text box will instantly drop down below your post allowing you to edit it in the thread itself.
This will save you a lot of time when fixing those spelling mistakes, typos, or broken links.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

Update: For those who prefer an image button instead of a radio button use these instructions.
Note: Image button version does not work with mozilla browsers!

Also, added a check box for the signature to both versions.

Quick Edit for VB3 can be found here.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry...Same error as I was getting.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object

But your code seems much nicer.

Thats odd. I tested it on my own forum and its working perfectly. Perhaps its not compatible with some other hack you've installed?

[EvilLS1]

You did remove all of the code that you added earlier right? You could try adding this to a fresh (unhacked) functions.php to see if it works.

[David Bott]

Pondering...Can't see why it would not work, after all, it is just a call to the DB to look up a status and set a value.

Note...I am also using this if it makes a difference...

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==5) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==6) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==7) or ($post[username] == $bbuserinfo[username])) {
    $edittext = htmlspecialchars($post[pagetext]);

[EvilLS1]

That shouldn't make any difference.

[David Bott]

Code is as such...

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==5) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==6) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==7) or ($post[username] == $bbuserinfo[username])) {
    $edittext = htmlspecialchars($post[pagetext]);
$subuserid=$post[userid];
$pthreadid=$post[threadid];
if ($subuserid!=0) {
$subscribed=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT subscribethreadid FROM subscribethread WHERE threadid='$pthreadid' AND userid='$subuserid' LIMIT 1");
$poop=$subscribed[subscribethreadid];
if ($poop > 0){
$emailchecked="CHECKED";
}else{
$emailchecked="";
}
}

eval("\$quickedit = \"".gettemplate('showthread_quickedit')."\";");
} else {
$edittext="";
$quickedit="";
}

But produces that error like something was not defined.

May I send you my test functions.php file vai e-mail? If so, please be so kind to PM me your address.

[EvilLS1]

Try it on an unhacked functions.php and see what happens..

Also make sure you have the code placed in the right place (above this):

//highlight words for search engine

I'm using 2.2.8 and its working like a champ for me.

[David Bott]

If I did that, some other items would surely fail. (That being to put in a fresh functions.php)

[David Bott]

It does not like this line it seems...

$subscribed=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT subscribethreadid FROM subscribethread WHERE threadid='$pthreadid' AND userid='$subuserid' LIMIT 1");

Which is line 274.

I meant temporarily.. Just to see if it works.
