Quick PM Reply Box for Private Messages

Quick PM Reply Box for Private Messages Version 1.4
---------------------------------------------------------

vB3 Enhanced Version!

Finally, I've upgraded this popular hack for vB 3.0.x - it should work with all versions of vB3.

Update:
--------------------

Version 1.4 :

1) Choose to use no toolbars, normal toolbar or WYSIWYG toolbar.

2) Choose to show smilie box or not.

3) Choose to show posticons or not.


To do this, edit these sections of the code you have added:

PHP Code:

// 0 = no toolbar, 1 = standard toolbar, 2 = wysiwyg toolbar
$vboptions['allowvbcodebuttons'] = '2';
// 0 = no smilie box, 1 = smilie box shown 
$vboptions['wysiwyg_show_smiliebox'] = '1'; 


AND

PHP Code:

// Uncomment line below to stop showing posticons
// $posticons = ''; 


Functions:
--------------------------

It's similar to Quick Reply for Threads, except that this is Quick Reply for PMs - when you go in to read a PM, there is a Quick Reply Box underneath the PM, with the Username inserted, Subject with RE: filled in, and the message already quoted.

This vB3 version also has the WYSIWYG buttons, smilies and posticon choices listed as well, depending on what you have set up in your ToolBar settings in Options. You can also now customize this - you can choose to have no toolbar, the normal toolbar, the WYSIWYG toolbar, the smilie box or the posticons or not!

There are also checkboxes to save a copy, show your signature, automatically parse links or disable smilies in text. Also, these options are in a box that is collapsible.

This hack uses the normal vB3 Phrases that are already existent. So no need to do any translating.


Installation:
---------------------------

Very simple. It's a matter of editing 1 PHP file, and 1 template.

Believe it or not, that's all!

The installations instructions are in the install HTML file in the ZIP file below.

Enjoy!


Updates:
----------------------

Version 1.2 - Fixed it so it works with WYSIWYG. Removed the Message Tracking checkbox feature I had in Version 1.1 - I'll keep the Popup Windows for now. NOTE: Delete doesn't work in Gamma - this is fixed in RC 1 and 2.


Screenshots:
-----------------------------

This is a bit redundant since this hack is already installed here, but I will put a couple up anyway.

The first screenshot shows how the Quick PM Reply Box is underneath the PM you are reading, with the Recipient's username, Subject with RE:, and Message in quotes automatically put in already. You can also see the WYSIWYG toolbar and smilie panel (depending on what you have set up in your User CP Options).

The second screenshot shows the checkboxes to save a copy, show your signature, automatically parse links or disable smilies in text. These options are in a box that is collapsible.

I had that hack in my vB2 and would like to install it in vB3 as well. But I don't like it, that the big WYSIWYG-Box is shown as quick-reply.

I want the same small quick-reply box as at the end of the threads, when you have activated the standard-option of vB3 for quick-reply to threads.

Maybe 2 versions of your hack ? One with big box and one with small box ?

Or can you give a quick instruction how to replace the QYSIWYG-box by the small standard-box ?


Best regards

Awesome job but.. I would like the same Quick Reply box shown at the bottom of every thread in the forums... that one you have made it's a full reply box.

erwin:

would it be better and save room to NOT show the user name feild and subject, since its obvious that they are replying to that person, why show the 2 fileds?

also is there a way to have it not auto quote, maybe have a little checkbox under it with a "quote message?" and if u check it then it quotes, most of the time i dont want to quote someone in a PM cuz its too long

this is what i dont understand if its a quick reply why does it have all the functions of a normal rely, thats sucks IMO

[Keyser S?ze]

any updates?

[sketch42]

is this possible with this hack??? ive done it to the standard forum quick reply but id love it in here as well
Making Quick Reply available only to x Usergroups
I want to setup quick reply to be used for only certain usergroups, and others won't even see the box there so they won't have to worry about complaining that they can't use it.

I'm showing that editor_smile_standard and editor_toolbar_standard are uncached. Should I add those also?

Yup.

[Erwin]

Added those templates to my ZIP file. Thanks for reminding me. I never thought of users who might use the standard editor.
