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.

You go to the admin panel, under templates, click 'modify', find the template named 'showthread' listed under 'showthread templates' and add '$replybox' where it says too.

now my question is, does this NOT work on 2.3.0? I've installed it and triple checked it and then some...and It does not show up what-so-ever...any ideas?

Thanks but i just got it! lol
Yer it works on 2.3.0 coz i have donne it!
Can you tell me wot you have donne so far?

[Sinzar]

Now i'm getting a parse error way down on line 515, it's an unexpected '$' *rolls eyes*

Well i dunno much about it but mine works fine!

[Sinzar]

well, I got rid of the parse error..but the box for quick reply just DOESN'T show up..I get no errors at all, it just doesn't show up.

[chitown]

you did place it in the forum display template right?

[Rapid Gaming]

It works on my 2.3.0, but it appears at the top, which I don't mind but the bottom would be better... Any ideas???

it seems that there are 2 places where the code is place, you must put it on the second

that might answer your question

[chitown]

That code is in the quick reply box code. You won't find it until you install it.

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;
}

// ##################################################
And replace it with the following:
// ##################################################

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

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}

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

[CityInet]

the box does not give the option to subscribe to the forum. how can i set my users to subscribe to the forum they are replying to , by default?

[Cluster One]

I've got this installed, but when I use it i keep getting this error..
