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

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

How it works: In the bottom right-hand corner of all your posts will be a small Quick Edit icon (users will only see it in posts which belong to them).. When you click it a text box will drop down below your post allowing you to edit it instantly in the thread itself.

This will save you a lot of time when fixing those spelling mistakes, typos, or broken links. It should also help save on bandwidth since your users will no longer need to load the editpost page.

Very easy to install.. 2 file edits, 2 template edits, and 1 template to add.

Known bug: Quick Edit will NOT work with Opera web browsers. Those who use Opera simply won't see the option to quick edit (icon will be invisible when viewed in that browser). It'll work fine in other browsers such as IE or firefox.

Support: Due to work my time is limited as of late so this hack is released AS IS with no support. However, several questions have already been answered in this thread.

Update (7-25-04): Fixed a minor bug with the QE window moving further to the left with each click in mozilla/firefox browsers. To update simply replace your showthread_quickedit template with the new one. Thanks to sv1cec for this bug fix.

Add Ons:
*Show the "delete post" option for those who have permission in the Quick Edit form (also adds edit reason). (by sv1cec)
*Show the "edit reason" field in the Quick Edit form. (Requested by Convergys)
*Alternate Quickedit icon image (by ryancooper)
*Another alternate Quickedit icon (by sv1cec)
*Another alternate Quickedit icon (by charlesk)
*Yet another alternate Quickedit icon (by iguanairs)
*Give users the option to disable quick edit in the usercp (by pco)

Installed it and it works great! This is the first hack I've considered worth installing...I know I'll have to worry about extra stuff when upgrading Vbulletin, but its worth it!

Is there a way so that mods and admins can see the quick edit button for ALL users?

In your postbit and postbit_legacy templates find this:

<if condition="$post['pmid']==""">

And replace it with this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread'">

Nice hack, just one question.
When you open the quick edit box, it automatically appears on the right hand side from the button. I have moved the button next to the quick reply button on the right, but now when I click the quick edit button, most of the popup is outside the screen. Is there a way to make it appear on on left hand side of the quick edit button?

Also, how can i delete the template created while installing that hack? I've named it wrongly, so i need to delete it now and create a new one.

If you are anal like me I have attached a image that goes with the default VB style.

Also add " class="inlineimg" " to the image tag in the showthread_quickedit to have it line up perfectly.

Thanks for a great hack!! :devious:
