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.

hmm...so it's basicly the same if you download the hacks sepretly from the actuly user who made it either the quick reply and/or quick thread??

[Kinox]

yeah, made this for me, its easyer to run a hack file then do it by hand..

I am so confused by the instructions in the this hack.

It says "Create a new template, with the name "showthread_replybox"

So I did that. But then it lists all this code underneth that I have no idea what to do with.

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

Where in the Showthread template do I add that stuff? I'm in the Admin CP and it gives me this whole list to stuff under it

I think you guys are missing the point with Chen's hack, notice that it is called Quick Reply Box

[Trommsdorff]

Awesome hack. I just installed and will be posting the change in daily posts. You guys are smart folks - thanks for the great hack.
