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.

Hey Heineken, now I am sure if the members turn that off in there options, there must be a reason for it, you really shouldn't go forcing that.

If they have it on, it automaticaly gets subscribed anyways.

Hey DrkFusion

Thanks for the reply, but are you sure that if we have it picked to notify by email to reply it automatically subscribes us when we reply through the quick reply box?

I have email notification enabled, however whenever I use the quick reply box, I never get subscribed

Thanks for the reply

Well, I remember that FireFly said that the reply box does use the newreply.php and well it should work.

Doh! well i'll try reinstalling it and see if that changes

thanks again.

Sorry, buddy, I have to call you on this one. It will not use the email check in newreply. I had to add an external one to do it for the Quick Reply box.

Really...hmm, when I posted a problem, I said that people were able to post though it was closed (this was when I was new to vb) he said they shouldn't be able to because, it uses the newreply.php, later I found out, they can't post only I can cuz im admin lol

Here is a simpler way to do it than I did it.

1- in showthread.php (in hacks code), find:

PHP Code:

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


after that add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]!=0) {$emailchecked='yes';} 


2- edit template showthread_replybox, find:

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="email" value=""> 


Replace it AS:

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$emailchecked">

Yes, but they won't get a notification email about the new message to the thread if it is made with the Quick reply Box unless you add some code to it to check for email notification.
