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.

Working Like a dream, and SO easy to install! Thanks!!

Thanks for the kind words.

Awesome, doctor. Dunno why I didn't think of this before!

/me clicks install

>>to maintain your background colors, you need to have <body> still in your privmsg, as well as my additional one.

Or at the bottom of privmsg put

Code:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.forms.vbform.message.focus();
-->
</script>

Which is basically the same thing as onLoad since it's at the bottom of the page (assuming you're not loading iFrames or other including bits).

Very nice hack Erwin, and my users love it.

Overgrow, kudos for that script addition, for two reasons: 1, I wanted the 'gotfocus' function without losing my colors (which is what Erwin's included script did) and 2, I was able to use the same code to 'getfocus' on my regular Showthread/QuickReply box.

I've installed it. Tested it. Works fine, except that bit at the bottom for getting the cursor to go automatically to the Quick PM Reply Box makes my PM body background go white and my toplink buttons have odd colour edges.

Update Version 2.3 - minor template mod

I realized that I forgot to do something simple when I released the hack - include the name of the PM sender and time of PM in the automatic quote section.

To update from 2.2 to 2.3 is easy:

In the "privmsg" template, find:

Code:

[quote]

$pmquote

[/quote]

Replace with:

Code:

[quote]

$fromuserinfo[username] wrote on $message[postdate] $message[posttime]:

$pmquote

[/quote]

Done!

Yeah, I wonder myself. I overlooked something simple.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
