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.

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}
// ##################################################


I cannot find the second part in the php file. Will this work with v2.3.2?

TIA
Patricia

Yes, should work with 2.3.2

Thank you

Another question, if you don't mind.

3. In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following:
// ##################################################
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
&nbsp;
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
// ##################################################

What 'showthread' template is this referring to?

Thanks,
Patricia

Find the $quickreply variable (or something similiar to that that you inserted for this hack), and remove one of them.

If I can't find the second part in showthread what do I replace?

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;

I should have said I am in 2.3.2 In the first instance this follows:

$bbcodeon=iif($forum[allowbbcode],$ontext,$offtext);
$imgcodeon=iif($forum[allowimages],$ontext,$offtext);
$htmlcodeon=iif($forum[allowhtml],$ontext,$offtext);
$smilieson=iif($forum[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

IN the second instance this follows:

if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}
