QuickReply addon: choose destination after posting · **Released**: 10-06-2002

Here is a very simple hack that allows your users to choose where they want to be redirected to after posting a reply via QuickReply. I made this because I don't think it's truly quick unless you have the option to go back to the forum or main index. Screenshot is here.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1 - newreply.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
      if ($visible) {

        $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";

      } else {

        $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";

      }

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
      if ($visible && !$returntowhere) {

        $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";

      } else {

        if ($returntowhere=="forumhome") {

          $goto="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";

        } elseif ($returntowhere=="thread") {

          $goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid";

        } else {

          $goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]";

        }

      }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2 - Template: showthread_replybox

Find:

Code:

		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>

Replace with:

Code:

		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="#F1F1F1" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Return to:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#F1F1F1"><select name="returntowhere" class="bginput"><option value="thread" selected>this thread</option><option value="forumdisplay">this forum</option><option value="forumhome">$bbtitle home</option></select><br><smallfont>After submitting reply, where do you want to go?</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3 - Template: redirect_postthanks

Find:

Code:

You will now be taken to your post.

Replace with:

Code:

You will now be taken to your post or selected destination.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Done! Please click install if you use this.

Has this been installed by anyone who is using Spellcheck for their quickreply?

Mine won't work, seems the other embedded forms are causing problems with this one....

double-check that you've done everything correctly. there is a similar code in newreply.php that is pretty much exactly the same except for one little variable. (hint: search for the FIRST line of the code you have to replace in WordPad.)

if that still doesn't work, let me know.
