Quick Reply Box

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.

I got a bit of trouble.

The quick Reply box is at the top of the thread, can someone please help me to move it down to the bottom. Thanks.

Just look for the next chunk of code - you added it at the first instance - not the second

After 3 months of leaving my forum as is, I returned to hacking it and stalled some hacks, but hands down the best is this one
THANKS FireFly !!!

Now I have a weird Problem, I installed it tested it and as you can see it I translated it, but even when I did not make any changes the Qreply apperared in the TOP of thew page, I have broken my Skull figuring out why, I even reinstale dit and the same thing happens...any hints?

ehere is a Screen of the problem

Thanks again!

Add the quick reply variable to the bottom of the showthread template, to the second instance of where you're supposed to put it.

I have a question... I don't know if it has been answered or not as I haven't looked through the entire thread.. lol, but where it says:

1. In showthread.php find this bit of code:
// ##################################################
if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;
}
// ##################################################

I cannot find the second part in the php file. Will this work with v2.3.2?

TIA
Patricia

Yes, should work with 2.3.2

[patriciafrankie]

Thank you

Another question, if you don't mind.

3. In the "showthread" template add $replybox right after the following:
// ##################################################
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><smallfont>$pagenav&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/prev.gif" alt="" border="0">
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextoldest">Last Thread</a>
&nbsp;
<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid&goto=nextnewest">Next Thread</a>
<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/next.gif" alt="" border="0">
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- first unread and next/prev -->
// ##################################################

What 'showthread' template is this referring to?

Thanks,
Patricia

The template in the admin cp, named showthread

[patriciafrankie]

n/m I got it

lol.. I'm a newbie at this. I'm full of questions. How do I get rid of the second quick reply? I have two for some reason.

Find the $quickreply variable (or something similiar to that that you inserted for this hack), and remove one of them.

If I can't find the second part in showthread what do I replace?

if (!$getperms['canviewothers'] and ($thread['postuserid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0)) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {
$pagenumber=1;

I should have said I am in 2.3.2 In the first instance this follows:

$bbcodeon=iif($forum[allowbbcode],$ontext,$offtext);
$imgcodeon=iif($forum[allowimages],$ontext,$offtext);
$htmlcodeon=iif($forum[allowhtml],$ontext,$offtext);
$smilieson=iif($forum[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

IN the second instance this follows:

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'";
}
