Quick Edit! -Edit posts directly from within the thread itself

Hi,

This hack will allow your users to Edit their posts without having to load the editpost page..

How it works: In the bottom lefthand corner of all your posts will be a small "QuickEdit" radio button (users will only see it in posts which belong to them).. When you click it a small text box will instantly drop down below your post allowing you to edit it in the thread itself.
This will save you a lot of time when fixing those spelling mistakes, typos, or broken links.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

Download Quick Edit (Click Here).

Update: For those who prefer an image button instead of a radio button use these instructions.
Note: Image button version does not work with mozilla browsers!

Also, added a check box for the signature to both versions.

Quick Edit for VB3 can be found here.

Larry,
Sorry to hear that, but thats also due to a conflict with the quote multiple posts hack. I thought maybe there was a way to make them work together but I guess these two hacks just aren't compatible. The reason is because the quote multiple posts hack puts all messages inside of a form.. and this hack puts a single form in the postbit if the post belongs to the person viewing the thread. You cannot embed a form inside of another form so thats why its not working.

I have another hack that allows you to quote multiple posts instantly in your quick reply box and it doesn't conflict with Quick Edit. If you want to take a look it can be found here.

EvilLS1 - I wanted to install some of your hacks and i did install too.

I wanted quickEdit, QuickQuoteII, QuoteSelected.

I first installed quickedit, then QuickQuoteII, then realised it requires FireFly's Quick Reply ( installed that too. But at last, I tried installing QuoteSelected, but the last one isn't working. That after installing QuoteSelected, even QuickQuoteII gives me Javascript errors ( in my status bar ). Also QuickQuoteII doesn't work now. How do i go about installing all 3 hacks of yours without and get them to work.

I have installed it on vB2.3.0 stable release !

Thanks

HostBubble,
Did you follow the special instructions posted here? If not, replace the entire contents of the quickquote template with the quickquote template html in those instructions.


Then check and make sure that the name of your quick reply form is "post". It should look like this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="newreply.php" name="post" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this)">

Okay, the second part, that method=post is correct, i just now checked.

But my problem is that. I installed your 3 hacks using the instructions in the first posts, without noticing the If u have installed, the instructions are different txt files. But even after that, i checked and compared files manually....the instructions in the first posts and the instructions to install a file, if other hack is installed seems to be the same.

That is my problem. kindly tell me, if i should want to install
QuickQuoteII
QuoteSelected
QuickEdit

what is the order in which, i should install and what instructions should i follow. I am just a bit confused.

Thanks

[PurpleCow]

Okay, i got all the 3 of them working now. I just had to make a minor change.

Thanks a lot for the hacks.

Cheers

[EvilLS1]

y/w. glad ya got it working.

Thank you
