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 works fine with 2.3.0 RC3 (There's no such thing as 2.3.3)..

I have all my old hacks installed(40+!!) and everything works fine with the upgrade to 2.3.0 RC3...

Works nicely with VB 2.30 final !!!

Gimppy I'll help IM me at Meww2894. Robink, add this code to where you want your smilies link.
Note take out the *'s

<*a href="javascriptpensmiliewindow(240,280,'')">Get More</a*>

Nope... I think I'll still have to do some php editing...

3. In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following:

The actual link code is

PHP Code:

<a href="misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showsmilies">[Smilies]</a> 


Note that they aren't clickable using this method.

Help! When I installed it on 2.29 the box shows up at the top of the thread page, how do I put it at the bottom?

[Super Shadow]

OrcSlayer, you gotta find the NEXT <!-- first unread post ---> thing. You gotta put the $replybox after the fourth one.

My question: I have installed it properly, I think, and I click "Submit Reply" and it says "No thread specified." What can I do to fix this.

[OrcSlayer]

In what? Template? php file?

[Super Shadow]

In the template you have to add $replybox in

It's the third instruction.

[ruhl]

reply box in the template or the php file? I cant find it in the code you put in the template i dont see it anywhere.

[Darnell 0216]

You're not supposed to add it to the 'showthread_replybox' template. You're supposed to add it to the 'showthread' template beneath the specified line.

[Greivog]

My Quick reply box appears at the Top and also at the bottom of the threads.

How do i make it so it just appears at the bottom?

Cheers
