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.

This is awesome. Installed !

Is the a way to stretch the reply box to the right some?

very easy to install, just make sure you get the "$replybox" in the right place. Version 2.2.8

Some users using the Quick Reply box complain about not getting the email notifications anymore... Is there any fix for this? thanks!

I have tired to install this on a 2.2.8 and it doesn't show up . I put it in the correct place but it doesn't work. FireFly any ideas?

I've successfully installed this on 2.2.8! It's GREAT....but....

Now I get blank pages every once in awhile when people try to link to another page, another secion on the forum, another thread, when they click reply...anything they click.

It's occasional, and I can't seem to figure otu what is causing this. Any ideas firefly??

<- MORON ALERT

OK guys.. I've tried.. and failed to install this hack.... I have checked what I though was all correct, and still nada. Here's the info:

System: VB 2.2.8, phpPortal 3.0 pr8.1, PHP 4.2, Red Hat 7.3. The Quick reply box shows up at the bottom, but when I put in a message and click submit reply, I get:

vBulletin Message
No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

hhhhhh..... What did I do wrong? Thanks guys!!

I cant get it to go at the bottom.

[Rand M]

Installed in v2.2.8, all working (after putting $replybox in the right place).

Many thanks

[xevito]

Fixed I was being a numpty

Erm got it installed but it doesnt seem to work all the time for me - any ideas?

[Dean C]

Whoooaaa i haven't played with this hack for a LONGGGGGG time..

Anywayz if a thread is closed the quick reply box shows up for mods, sm's and admins and not regular members...

How do i get it so if the thread is closed the quick reply box will only show up for admins

I have reinstalled but I tried the email thing and that screws up.

Anyone know how to make the subscribe thing work properly.

First, run this database query:

ALTER TABLE user ADD showquickreply tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' not null AFTER nosessionhash

There, that should do the trick . If you have any trouble or can't get it to work, let me know.

I got this all installed (Like I said before I was being a moron). I got the attachments working, and the smilies box. However, when I try to add this feature..

If you turn it off, it won't turn it back on. It will change the vaule in the DB to 0 for off, but doesn't seem to want to change it back to 1 for on. I have to manually do that.

Any clue? Did I miss something??

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, this is bizarre. After upgrading to v2.2.8, I'm now getting "Object Expected" javascript errors on the New Thread and Edit Post pages.

Any ideas how to fix that?
