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.

How do I add a Attatchement field?

Drk

[Boofo]

Put this:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#4A7B9D" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Attach file:</b></normalfont><br>
    <smallfont>Size Limit: $maxattachsize bytes</smallfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="#4A7B9D" valign="top"><smallfont><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$maxattachsize_temp">
    <input type="file" class="bginput" name="attachment"><br>
    Valid file extensions: $attachextensions</smallfont></td>
</tr> 


right after this:

PHP Code:

<a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont>

<br>

</table>

find:

<td bgcolor="{ secondaltcolor }" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Your Reply:</b></normalfont></td> 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

<td bgcolor="{ secondaltcolor }" valign="top" nowrap><normalfont><b>Your Reply:</b><br>$clickysmilies</normalfont></td> 


That should do the trick


*Remove the spaces after { and before }

Sorry to bring this up again, I installed the quick reply box easy poo and want this addon described here, I have done it exactly as it says but the smilies will not appear.

I took the 'showthread_quickreply' template for the 'showthread_replybox' template, dont think that's anything to do with it though. I know this subject is old but I need an answer for this please......ta. :ermm:

Sorry to bring this up again but I still need help, I dont like clogging up email or PM inboxes asking for help so i'll ask again here. I have been working on this now for 2 days with another person and we still cannot get the clickable smilies to show up in the quickreply box, I really dont know what we are doing wrong.

We are using the exact same template as described in the hack txt file with the small adjustment highlighted earlier in this thread, alas it does not work.

If somebody can please help I would be grateful, would be even better help if somebody could post a modified showthread_replybox template with the changes implemented to enable the clickable smilies. If it helps we are running 2.2.6 if that makes any difference to what needs to be added to the showthread_replybox template.

Thanks. :dead:

To add smilies to the quick reply box:

Add this line:

$clickysmilies = getclickysmilies();

to showthread.php right after this:

$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

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.

Top man. :bored: :cheeky:

[Boofo]

Reply ASAP? What is that?

You need to put the code after the second instance in the showthread template.
