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.

help please someone
i did the hack
it dose work
but it's on the top of my forums
not the bottom
what i do wrong ???

[Learner29]

deano1, it is easy ... watch well.

As FireFly says:

In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following:

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

Look for this statement well. You will find FOUR of it.

Put $replybox AFTER the last one, that is AFTER the fourth one.

thanks learner29
i was just coming back to say i fixed it
if i would have read all posts first in this thread
instead of jumping to the end
i would have found it before complaining

thanks anyway
now i will add the smily box

[bonnmac]

Another thanks is due. Works great on v2.2.5!

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...

i am having a problem with the above stuff
adding smiley box
i got the first part
but i can't find where to put the second set of code
help please
this part

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

Is there a way to do a smilies drop down box instead of the standard box of smilies for the quick reply box?

[midad]

Great Hack FF
Installed....

[Elentari]

I just got this installed! My very first hack! Yey! Thanks so much Firefly!!

[Rapdis]

Hmm... quick reply is good but no bv codes.... no smilies....

[Webmasta XT]

FireFly: When I click on [Get More] for the smilies box, the window opens but when I click on any smilies, they don't work, how come?? I mean it doesn't insert them in the box..

I just exported some of my tables over from my old board to a new board. I didn't include the post table, and The QRB still only works sometimes. When it doesn't work it bypasses the "Thank you for posting" redirection screen and in IE's url bar it shows

forum.com/forum/showthread.php?which=Y2A&action=postreply&threadid =6549&title=&iconid=0&parseurl =yes&email=&disablesmilies=&closethread=&hiddenrep ly=&signature=yes&rating=0&mes sage=adsa&submit=Submit+Reply

I can't think of why it would go through sometimes and not others when the tables (according to repair.php) are all ok.

Any help?

Quick question: is it possible to make this quick reply box subscribe people to threads if they opt for that as the default, and not if they don't? (not selectable or anything, just using their profile default settings).

[Preasidium]

I have read this entire thread. All 25 pages. And i am completely lost on this install...

Firfly can you do me a huge favor and email me step by step instructions or something? I cant seem to find whats in the text file you supplied. I am very new to this still. I only have a few hacks installed. and they took me a while to figure out lol.

I am sorry im such a moron sometimes ^_^

I would also like detailed instructions, I followed them as best as I could and still get weird parse errors, I can PM someone a copy of my edited Showthread PHP file?
