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.

Hello,
I installed the hack but I noticed that it only works for forums with the default style. All forums with the custom styles don't have the quick reply box.

I understand your frustration, but I still think if you are interested in debugging this, you should go about it systematically, rather than throw up your hands and say it doesn't work. Of course you could always use another hack if that is preferable.
If you do want to figure out what's wrong...
First step would be to plug a text placeholder into the showthreads template, as recommended earlier, and make sure you can see it where you want the replybox to appear.
Next step, if that works okay is to see if it can pull in that $replybox template. If not there is a template problem, or maybe your version of vB is overwriting the $replybox somehow.
I think they had a three or four guys checking the Hubble mirror specs before it went up, too. They were probably rocket scientists transferred over from Space Shuttle O-ring duty.
That means you forgot to remove the spaces in front of all the variables in the code. Make sure you do it as it mentions in the install directions. I gaurantee that will fix it.

What does it matter anyways? I got the origional version of this hack installed on my forum instead of Chen's.... I dont see the difference why I would have to go thru all that trouble.
I finally got this to work with 2.3.2 . The problem is that the instructions for showthread.php are wrong, or at least they were for my site.
PHP Code:
*** FIND ***
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}
*** REPLACE WITH ******
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and $thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
show_nopermission();
}
*** FIND ***
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}
*** REPLACE WITH ***
if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$thread['postuserid']) and (!$getperms['canviewothers'] or !$getperms['canreplyothers'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$getperms['canview'] or (!$getperms['canreplyown'] and $bbuserinfo['userid']==$thread['postuserid'])) {
$replybox='';
} elseif (!$thread['open'] and !ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
$replybox='';
} else {
$textareacols = gettextareawidth();
eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
}
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$threadid'";
}
and then it works. In the instructions they have the top two finds as one. Problem is there is a bunch of code between them.
