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.

Try using this query instead:

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

Same issue. It is something in the query for if I // that out, no error.

[David Bott]

Ok, did the fresh functions.php and got the same thing. Even if I made the query something like...

$subscribed=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT subscribethreadid FROM subscribethread WHERE threadid='353631' AND userid='1' LIMIT 1");

...with hard coded numbers, I receive the error.

If I test the query in PHPMyAdmin it runs without issue.

So, do I need to do something with $subscribed first to set it to work or something. Weird all the same.

[David Bott]

It was missing "global $DB_site;" right about the query call. All good now.

Glad ya got it working.

To wrap this up, for those that would like to have the hack 1) So that the QuickEdit shows for Admins, Mods, and Super mods on all posts, and 2) To have it check for the status of the thread to see if it is subscribed to or not...here is the code for the template and the /admin/functions.php to use...

Template code...

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="vbulletinform" style="display:inline;" action="editpost.php" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this)">
<input name="r2" type="radio"  value="" onClick="toggleT('e$post[postid]','s')"><smallfont>QuickEdit</smallfont><br>
 <div id="e$post[postid]" style="VISIBILITY: hidden; POSITION: absolute">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="updatepost">
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="$post[postid]">
<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="yes">
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="1" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="55" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" colspan="2"><normalfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Quick Edit</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" nowrap><normalfont><b>Subject:</b></normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$post[title]" size="55" maxlength="85" tabindex="1"></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Message:</b></normalfont>
	<p>
	</td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td><textarea name="message" rows="9" cols="80" wrap="virtual" tabindex="2">$edittext</textarea><br>
<normalfont>
	<input type="submit" class="bginput" name="submit" accesskey="s" value="Save Changes" tabindex="3">
        <input type="reset" class="bginput" value="Reset" tabindex="4">
	</normalfont>
<input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="yes" checked><smallfont>Show Signature?</smallfont>
<input type="checkbox" name="email" value="yes" $emailchecked><smallfont>Subscribe to Thread?</smallfont>
<input name="r2" type="radio" checked value="" onClick="toggleT('e$post[postid]','h')"><smallfont>Close</smallfont>

		</td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<br>
</form>
</div>

/admin/functions.php code to use...

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) {
global $DB_site;
$subscribed=$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="";
}
