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.

then use $clickysmilies in the showthread_quickreply template to add the box with the smilies in it, but you will also need to add these two lines:

<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode_language.js"></script>

to the template right after the <form> tag. That should work.

Wow this is even handier than I thought...

Can I get a SS of what this would look like, anyone who has it?

It would be very cool to implement the RATING dropdownbox in this hack (next to the submit reply button), cause people will more easely & QUICKly rate a thread while they are replying. It also eliminates a page to be refreshed when you rate & quick reply at the same time.

I know the RATE THIS THREAD has been implemented on the normal POST REPLY page for the same reason, but people won't rate anymore if they use the quick reply box.

Of course the 'normal' rate dropdownbox + go button would have to disappear on pages with a quick reply field.

What do you think?

Where such a setting could be retrieved in showthread ?
I'm very interested in this feature... me too: automatically subscribe without checkbox if the userCP says so...

Hey Firefly, I installed this hack awhile ago and then all of a sudden it stops working for alot of my members and even myself. It still works, only on certain threads and only for certain users, it's all messed up. This is the email I recieved right before it went "wacky"

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.2:

mysql error: Got error 28 from table handler

mysql error number: 1030

Any help in fixing this would be great because my members and myself love this hack.

I've already tried running the repair script from my admin directory with the default 2 options it gives you on the repair.php page also to no avail.

Error 28 means "no space left on device". Nothing to do with this hack.

I guess my RATING "dropdownbox" suggestion (see earlier post) isn't that interesting? :cross-eyed:

Hi,
Just like quick reply I take no credit for this. I just modifyied the files from this one orignally by NEO the php., templates, etc. I was asked to make this so people could put pics in the quick thread.
Thanks

if you have this hack installed, you might want to copy and paste, cause there are a few modifications, it might be hard to do if your new at this..I dont know, just trying to help

[TECK]

just curious... isnt easier to post in the original thread your hack mod? in this way everyone see where it comes from? if it's just a mod you made from the original hack, i think the right place should be in that thread.
i dont see the point of posting a mod, unless you want to raise the number of your hacks...????
personally, if i see someone makes a mod to one of my hacks and start a new thread about it, i'll get upset. look at firefly and his vbHacker. several people made mods to it. he delete them all. this is normal. mods belong with their original thread.

i made few mods to hacks, but i never started a new thred, just to get attention on it.. trust me, people see that you know your way with php.. just by helping them...

regards,
nakkid.

sorry, i didnt know.. Im not a hacker type person, i just had a few friends ask me for this, so I made it and posted it here

[TECK]

theres no prob..
it's nothing wrong what you did... i simply wanted to give you my oppinion.. i might be wrong also.. cheers.

Hi.
I made this so people can add attachments on Firefly's quick reply box. I do not take credit for the quick reply box. I have taken the quick reply box txt. file and modifiyed it. It works perfect. I have fixed the templates and php files, so there is no need to worry. I have it here so you can use it. I figured it would help alot of people. Also im releasing it for Neo's new thread box if anyone would like it.
Have fun
Emmett Dove

uppin, peeps asked me where it went

[Genesis]

Hello.

I do not know if this has been asked allready but here goes :

I have a board where unregistered users are allowed to post. I also use the quickreply box and every post someone does using it shows up (duh) as Unregistered.

Would it be possible if a user is NOT logged in but is allowed to post that a Username/passwd box could be added ?
I know some of you would consider this a simple hack however my knowledge of php/java/whatever you use in vbulletin is limited. I'd rather not mess with it myself.

Thanks.
