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.

Quick reply is a standard feature of vB 3.

PHP Code:

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_postthanks")."\",\"$goto\");"); 


This code is not present in Step 4 of newthread.php

I dunno I followed the instructions to the letter and the box wont show up in the threads :ermm:

Getting the box to show is a template mod, so maybe you inserted the right variable in the wrong template, or in the middle of a <!-- comment --> or the wrong variable.

It should be inserted in the showthread template, reading something like:

<!-- START SHOWREPLYBOX HACK -->
$replybox
<!-- END SHOW REPLYBOX HACK -->

And located, in my forum immediately after

<!-- first unread and next/prev -->

If it isn't coming up for you, you can try replacing the word $replybox with a tag line like:

GOSH DARN I CAN'T TELL WHY THIS BOX DOESN'T SHOW

And if you don't see that, well you are tweaking the wrong template or template set.

If you do see it, maybe you didn't create the showthread_replybox template properly or have a typo in one of the names somewhere.

Good luck!

Same thing is happening with me. I've installed this hack on other vb versions probably 20 or 30 times. The darn thing just isn't showing up on my forums.

Why were there so many more file edits for this version?
