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.

eva -- instead of this in showthread.php:

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
	$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
	$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
	$replybox='';
} else {
	$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
	eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

use:

if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))) {
	$replybox='';
} else {
	$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
	eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

[Neo]

Yup, does nto work with 2.2.4

[Admin]

Updated to work with 2.2.4.

[Neo]

Many thanks. It works perfectly now

[Radon3k]

Really? It worked fine with my install of 2.2.4 before Chen updated it (at least I think it was before he updated it...)

Remember that while this looks cool

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))) { 


it isn't nearly as efficient as

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 5 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7) { 


[Freddie Bingham]

Also why don't you just use:

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator($foruminfo['forumid'])) { 


Permissions are cached so it won't add any new queries to the code.
