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.

Please have mercy on us poor php challenged souls. I know there are some php gurus out there that can figure these things out in no time at all.
Think back to when you relied on others to help make things make some sort of sense for you.

Does this hack require the file_upload option on in the server's php.ini to be turned on? My host for my forums has the file_upload option in the server's php.ini turned off.

Will the signature be added when you make a quick reply? I note that on www.worldzonesupport.com the signature is not being added with a quick reply.

You have the option of doing a lot of things

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="postreply">
<input type="hidden" name="threadid" value="$threadid">
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="iconid" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="disablesmilies" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="closethread" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenreply" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="rating" value="0">

just make this line
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="no">

turn the value off and on

It's located in the quick reply template

where to put what??

did you create the quick reply template?? and add "$replybox" to the "showthread" template??

How do I alow unregistered/guests to use the quick response box?

They have permission to post, and the box shows up for them, but when they try to post, I get an error message: "You did not specify a username for your post"

Is there any way to have the reply box just default to unregistered when the user is not logged in/guest?

Thanks so much!

has anyone tested this in 2.2.9 or 2.3? i can't get it to work but i really want to!!!

[Reno]

Thanks for telling me about the experience mmmender. I was about to try myself also on vB 2.3.

So, anyone tried this on 2.3 and does it work (except mmmender)?

[WEForums]

It works for vB 2.3.0. No errors.

What error are you receiving?
