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.

I have installed Firefly's Quick Reply Box hack - excellent hack.

In addition, I have enabled in-line thread-rating (by copying the contents of $newreply_ratethread and pasting them into $showthread_replybox) so that a thread can be rated as it is being replied to via the Quick Reply Box.

This works fine for registered users. The average rating is amended accordingly.

However, when an unregistered user rates a thread via the QRB there is no change to the average rating (rating by unreg members cast via the standard 'rate this thread' box work ok and the average is amended - so it doesn't look like it's a permissions problem).

I've checked all user/forum permissions, and all is as it should be - although I'm sure that it must have something to do with permissions.

I'm at a loss to find out why registered members can rate a thread while replying via the QRB, and unregistered members cannot.

Any hints? Thanks.

Planning to make a separate thing for paying members. Can this be restricted to only be allowed for a certain user group?

Thanks,

I keep getting a No thread specified error when I hit the button to quick post. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Never mind I got it to work. This is the first hack I ever tried.

Is there a way to stretch the box out just alittle farther to the right? Thanks in advance.

Does this hack work with 2.3.0 ?

[Infopro]

Yes.

I've done this hack and it works perfectly. However when I checked back on my board it says this error:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 511 is not allowed to access /proc/loadavg owned by uid 0 in /home/virtual/site9/fst/var/www/html/forum/global.php on line 194

I tried uninstalling it but it is still there. Any ideas?

well i installed it on 2.3.0 and the window was on top of the thread, and aslo, i tried to post and it didnt post at all.

[tmapm]

It is at the top of the thread because you didnt put it down far enough. There are two instances of <!-- first unread and next/prev -->. Look for the one near the bottom.

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

Ok it went to the bottom thanks..


Still have the problem that its not posting, i click reply and it takes me to a "page cannot be found"

?

I searched further back in the thread and read this about your problem.

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

P.S. I fixed my MYSQL errors. It had to do with another hack when I set my NIX to anything but 0.
