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.

It was an easy hack, but I missed one thing , many times instructions arent always real clear whether to hack files or via control panel, especially to newer hackers. My previous hacking, for example, was with UBB, this isnt the same. Frankly, I fail to see how it helps for people to reply to say they did it, with so many people saying that cant. Only seems to make threads longer and harder for people to read through.

So what's the problem you're having? Just reply back with your problem, and people can try and help you. Also, be sure to use the Search This Thread function.

It's impossible to help anyone unless they have a clue what went wrong, or can at least tell us what kind of problem they're having. I mean, if they just say, "It doesn't work", there isn't anything anyone can say or do, really. I've been there myself a few times. It can be frustrating. :ermm: Basically, we just wanted to assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this hack. It does indeed work perfectly.

LOL I meant here on vb.org to search this thread for the answer.

Thanks, just added it to my site v2.3.0

People said this works for V 2.3.0 but it doesn't work for me. First of all...in showthread.php it says to find this code but I can't:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
&nbsp;
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

Also, it said to find:

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 text but in showthread.php

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}
----These two are seperated by a bunch of code...----
if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}

Hope im not making some mistake

It does work in 2.30-- should work on all 2.X.X forums
the <table> things should be the template not the file

Great hack, very easy to install.

It is a great hack...

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to CENTER This text box? I'm killing myself on this one... Thanks.

[David_McPherson]

And here is the code for the text box..

Find this code:

		<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr valign="top">
			<td><textarea name="message" rows="18" cols="66" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1" style="background-image: url('images/head/tmr.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;" class="quick"></textarea><br>
			<smallfont><a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>

Replace it with this code:

		<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" align="center" valign="middle">
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr valign="top">
			<td><textarea name="message" rows="18" cols="66" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1" style="background-image: url('images/head/tmr.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;" class="quick"></textarea><br>
			<smallfont><a href="javascript:checklength(document.vbform);">[check message length]</a></smallfont></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>

Either turn on file_uploads on your webserver or remove the enctype from the <form> tag to avoid this.
