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 vB 2.3.0 and I did everything right and my quick reply box wont show up!?

[Angelus1753]

The hack won't install for version 2.3.2

I can find these lines of code:

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

But the ones after this I can't:

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

They apparantly don't exist in showthread.php for vbulletin 2.3.2

I got it to work but I searched this thread and I could find no answer as to how to fix it because the quickreply is on top of the page ?

JTMON - Add this line:

	$clickysmilies = getclickysmilies();

to showthread.php right after this:

	$textareacols = gettextareawidth();

then use $clickysmilies in the showthread_quickreply template to add the box with the smilies in it, but you will also need to add these two lines:

<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="vbcode_language.js"></script>

to the template right after the <form> tag. That should work.

Wow this is even handier than I thought...

I've done that. When i click on a smile it sends me back to the top of the page and it does not insert it into the box?

OK - it was easier than I thought.

Just add

} elseif ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']=="1") {
	$replybox='';

in the list of conditionals to not show the reply box to guests.

Now the only thing I can't figure out is how to only show the reply box if:
1.) it is the last page of a multipage thread, or
2.) it is a single page thread.

I can use
} elseif ($pagenumber!="1") {
$replybox='';

for example to not show it on page 1 but to show it on page 2.

I see above there is this conditional statement:
if ((!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) and $pagenumber!="lastpage") {

Which I thought I would be able to easily adapt, but I can't seem to make it work.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Great ! That one solved my problems with not registred users.

Hmmm.. maybe the author or someone can edit the download text so that it is compatible with 2.3.2.
