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.

some of the members at my board and others are having this problem. i havent had it, but one user says

"when you click enter to send the post in quick reply, 75% of the time it reloads and doesnt submit"

alright i got a problem with showthread.php in 2.2.6

first step says

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

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

my showthread shows

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

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

but not the rest......the other part is in an entirely different place.

what should i do?

Well - it could be because of any of a number of hacks you have previously installed. To make it easier to diagnose, post ALL the code, incuding what is between the first and last part - but put it in an attachment.

With a little more info, we may be able to help you make this work.

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.

I'm confused...this section does not even appear in showthread.php for 2.2.6
"$textareacols = gettextareawidth();"

[Stylez]

there it is.....

[dwh]

I was mixing two versions of this hack unknowingly...

[Boofo]

It is there. Did you find it all right?

[dwh]

Nope...not even on a fresh install...I've put it away for now to look at it again later...but I think it's in the code hack not the original showthread code, is that right?

Anyways...I originally used another version of this hack as a basis for the idea and then wrote it my own way w/o modifying showthread.php...

What line is it supposed to be on?

[Boofo]

There's the problem. That code is in the code that you add for Firefly's Quick Reply box. That is why it is not on a fresh install of vb. You will only find it after adding the Quick Reply Box code.

that worked great man thx, but I use like 54 smilie display for new thread/reply, and for my quickreply box that FAR too much, is there anyway to have a smaller pick of smiles? thx boofo

[Boofo]

I basically did the same thing with the vbcode_buttons. I made a smaller set to use in my quick reply boxes (regular and pm) but that involved hacking the vbcode_buttons code, so I'm afraid that would have to be the case for a smaller amount of smilies, too.

[snyx]

you said you have done this? or somthing along the lines, or am I reading this all wrong?

[Boofo]

Yes, I did it with the vbcode buttons. I would have to look at the smilie code to see how to do it. It involves a lot more than just transferring code from one to the other.

think ya could help me out?
I would forever be in your debt
lol, I can help ya out with any grfx ya need
icq me or sumthin 71926358

[Boofo]

Give me a couple of days to sort it out and see if it can even be done. I'm not sure what it all entails yet. I'll try to come up with something for you.

I don't use ICQ. Too many "Pretty Park Worm" viruses for me. I'm on Messenger.
