Quick PM Reply Box

Quick PM Reply Hack Version 2.4 - by Dr. Erwin Loh
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspired by Firefly, Neo, Vincent "MW" Chan


Version 2.4 for vBulletin 2.3.0 - 23rd of March 2003
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a simple hack that puts a "Quick PM Reply" box underneath a PM that you have received, with the username, subject and message in quotes already inserted. All you need to do is to just type the reply and click send. In the new version, you also have the option of deleting the original PM when you send the reply, as well as multiple options like saving the copy, and message tracking.

Upgrading from version 1.x - just make the 2nd PHP file changes, and copy and paste the the new template changes over the old one.


Version 2 additions:
--------------------------

Added options using checkboxes to:

1) Delete original: Delete original PM from PM box when you send reply
2) Automatically parse URLs.
3) Show Signature.
4) Save a copy: Also save a copy in the 'Sent Items' folder.
5) Request Read Receipt: Choose message tracking.

Version 2.1 - minor bug fix to make the icon change after a message is sent.
Version 2.2 - minor bug fix to make sure the delete tickbox works.
Version 2.3 - fixed a minor template issue
Version 2.4 - fixed the multiple RE: bug

NEW: Added minor addition to make cursor go automatically to the PM Quick Reply Box.

Did you make the changes to private.php as per the instructions? You must have either forgotten to put $pmquote in or you cut and pasted it in the wrong place.

is there a simplier version of this? more like fireflys quick reply box?

i installed this and was very well done, easy install, but just seems like too much to me, all i really want is like the quick reply

thanks

Nice nice nice.
How can I add a random smileys box there?

[jibious]

for $re = "Re:";

you should make it $re = "Re: ";

(add a space after Re just for cosmetic reasons. i don't think you really want Re:test instead of Re: test. just my opinion.

Oh, I figured it out ORDER by rand() in the query.
I would love to have those 4 little vBcode icons as on vB3 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?postid=458009) as an option - is it possible on vB2?

Hi all,

Nice one Erwin!

Thanks so much, Erwin. Been looking for this for quite a while now, finally found it. Thanks!

Thanks for the work Erwin, installed it!

Now the only/last thing bugging me is when you PM a message back and forth, the number of quotes in a quote is getting huge. Would there be a way to control the amount of quotes in a PM perhaps?

After a couple of time a PM looks like this (sample):

this is quote
