Quick Thread hack (like quick reply, on forumdisplay!) · **Released**: 02-12-2004

This hack is like the quick reply hack but on forumdisplay, so when viewing a forum, if the user has proper permissions to make a new thread then this quick thread box will show up for them.

Also view the screenshot to see how it looks

Features

Shows the user's signature if they have one!
subscribes to the thread according to what the user specified in their user options!

I made a few cosmetic changes to my forumdisplay_quickthread template, here it is:

PHP Code:


			
<form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" />

<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postthread" />

<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>

<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

<tr>

    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]</td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td>

</tr>

<tr class="alt2">

    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td>

    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><b>$vbphrase[message]:</b></td>

    <td class="alt1">

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

        <tr valign="top">

            <td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br /><br /><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="3" />

    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td>

        </tr>

        </table>

    </td>

</tr>

</table>

</td></tr></table>



<br />



<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="$emailupdate" />

</form>

- button class for buttons.
- tcat instead of thead for table header
- 6 padding instead of 4

This makes it look a little more like the quick reply box.

Heres a screenie:

Karthick · #63 06-16-2004, 12:45 PM

Can someone help here:

What I want is the 'Click here for more posting options.' to act as 'Preview Post' if there is any text in the message box.

So basically if you have typed anything, it will preview the post instead of losing anything you have typed.

For some reason, vbform will not submit through javascript. Always getting errors. I do this on a normal HTML page, and it works... ?!

I did it with Karthick's template (thanks !) :

Find :

Code:

<tr> 
    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td> 
</tr> 
<tr class="alt2"> 
    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td> 
    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td> 
    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td> 
        </tr> 
        </table> 
    </td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</td></tr></table>

Replace with :

Code:

<tbody>
<tr> 
    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('quickthread')"><img id="collapseimg_quickthread" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_quickthread].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]

</td> 
</tr> 
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_quickthread" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickthread]">
<tr> 
    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td> 
</tr> 
<tr class="alt2"> 
    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td> 
    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td> 
    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td> 
        </tr> 
        </table> 
    </td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</td></tr></tbody></table>

Thanks for this very useful hack : 56k users love it !

Your instruction didn't work, so I just snip bits of codes and made it work: (entire template)

This one is better looking one with collapse aswell.

PHP Code:


			
<form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" />

<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postthread" />

<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>

<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

<tbody>

<tr> 

    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">

<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('quickthread')"><img id="collapseimg_quickthread" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_quickthread].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]



</td> 

</tr> 

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_quickthread" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickthread]">

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td>

</tr>

<tr class="alt2">

    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td>

    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><b>$vbphrase[message]:</b></td>

    <td class="alt1">

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

        <tr valign="top">

            <td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br /><br /><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="3" />

    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td>

        </tr>

        </table>

    </td>

</tr>

</table>

</td></tr></tbody></table>



<br />



<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="$emailupdate" />

</form>

I don't know what didn't work, but my template is just the same as yours :squareeyed:

Nice nice. Installed.

the wiz · #70 09-28-2004, 12:59 PM

Oh, I have a question. How can I add the smilies in quick reply to this?

Chris Blount · #71 10-02-2004, 02:44 AM

I may have found a bug. When you are logged out and try to log back in under "forumdisplay.php" containing the quick thread box, after you type your username at the top and press tab, it skips down to the quick thread box rather than the password field.

Any ideas?
