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.

What if I allow Guest/Unregistered users to post in my boards. Is there a way I can prevent them from using the quick reply box to post and in that way preventing that what they type appears with no name in the author field?
We installed the quick reply box, which by the way is a great hack. We installed bira's expand and contract like you have here and now when we use the reply box it gives us this error:
No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster.
Firefly, have you run into this problem yet and do you have any idea what might be causing it? Thanks in advance.
If not, maybe you should check your "showthread" template again, and make sure you havent put the $replybox, or the code it tells you to put in, in the wrong place...
IMHO, this Quick Reply Box hack is one of the very best hacks I ever used.
It works nice, it is VERY useful, and I personally did not have ANY error
with it, though I installed it on four different bulletins.
I installed this hack and it seemed to work fine, but it started giving me syntax errors because of the JavaScript with the checking message length part of the hack, is there someway I can fix this?
I was going to uninstall it but I'm not sure if this code for this hack is interfering with other hacks.
A. I noticed that when you do a quick reply, it doesn't add that particular post to your subscribed threads. Is there a way to turn that on? Or perhaps in an update, give a checkbox someone hits to subscribe... a little "subscribe to thread" box would be cool.
A lot of people don't even know they're subscribed to threads when they reply the normal way. A checkbox system would not just give them a choice, but give them awareness, too.
It was working fine before. I have been through the showthread.php at least 10 times trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm not sure what is causing it.
But you will need to move the hack down a bit I think... mess with it a little.
Yeah! Thanks... It worked! :classic:
I put the check you suggested between the others :
PHP Code:
} elseif ($pagenumber != ceil($totalposts/$perpage)) { // replybox on the last page only
$replybox='';
and MOVED the entire block brutally at the end of showthread.php, just before the template evaluation...
I tried a couple places above, but think it should at least be after the $limitlower/$limitupper stuff. Truthfully, that box goes at the end of the page, doesn't it ?
