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.

Since when have they made it default for vB3? I don't see it anywhere in the Options in ACP.

[Asterik]

Its been default since like Gamma

OK, well I can't find it in the ACP in 3.0.3, so where is it?

Thanks, I must have missed it first time around. Got it turned on now.

No, this doesn't appear to work with 2.3.5 at all. The second line of the first chunk of code to replace, doesn't seem to exist at all in showthread.php. As nobody appears to have answered the queries on the previous page, can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Try this (taken from here):


1. Find in showthread.php:

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

2. Insert this after in the following line:

if (ismoderator($thread['forumid'],'canopenclose')) {
  if ($thread['open']) {
    $closeopenstatus='Close';
  } else {
    $closeopenstatus='Open';
  }
  eval("\$closeopenthread = \"".gettemplate("newthread_closeopen")."\";");
} else {
  $closeopenthread='';
}

// FireFly's hack
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')) {
  $replybox='';
} else {
  if ($bbuserinfo['emailnotification']) {
    $emailchecked = 'yes';
  } else {
    $emailchecked = '';
  }
  $textareacols=gettextareawidth();
  eval("\$replybox = \"".gettemplate('showthread_replybox')."\";");
} // End

Is there a way to include a Sticky Thread and Close Thread option to the Quick Reply box for admins and mods?

[pixelghetto]

I'm using 2.3.6 and after going through 99 odd pages, I can't get this to work. Even though the hack is for 2.3.x the line of code you have to find and replace, doesn't actually seem to exsist. I found the code you are supposed to find and replace, followed all the steps....and it doesn't show up.

Does anyone have a solution that works in 2.3.6?
