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 mean in newreply.php.


It isn't there. If any finds it, please direct me. Middle of the hack.



EDIT: I just realized that I have done that hack, where it deletes the "thanks for posting- redirecting" , therefore the

PHP Code:

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


is deleted.

How would these work then?

I've uploaded the old files just so that I can do this hack.
In the end, the reply box did not show up either.

Hello,
I installed the hack but I noticed that it only works for forums with the default style. All forums with the custom styles don't have the quick reply box.

you need to make sure you add the $replybox variable to all of your custom styles as well.

Nope I did it right..... I had 4 admins check the code even.... it just didnt show up... besides the other version of this hack was much easier to install

I understand your frustration, but I still think if you are interested in debugging this, you should go about it systematically, rather than throw up your hands and say it doesn't work. Of course you could always use another hack if that is preferable.

If you do want to figure out what's wrong...

First step would be to plug a text placeholder into the showthreads template, as recommended earlier, and make sure you can see it where you want the replybox to appear.

Next step, if that works okay is to see if it can pull in that $replybox template. If not there is a template problem, or maybe your version of vB is overwriting the $replybox somehow.

I think they had a three or four guys checking the Hubble mirror specs before it went up, too. They were probably rocket scientists transferred over from Space Shuttle O-ring duty.

Here ya go.


This is for VBulletin version 2.3.2 only
(I have not tested it with 2.3.0)

I tried this, it worked fine, but the freakin quickreply box is surrounded by a very neon green box. Its very difficult to look at.

That means you forgot to remove the spaces in front of all the variables in the code. Make sure you do it as it mentions in the install directions. I gaurantee that will fix it.

[Dodger21]

Which variables? I followed exactly like the instructions and its still green. Arg!

What does it matter anyways? I got the origional version of this hack installed on my forum instead of Chen's.... I dont see the difference why I would have to go thru all that trouble.

Can you guys post your username if you have successfully installed the hack on version 2.3.2, using JeffyJoe's code ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&pagenumber=74 )?


I want to know who completed the mod and who didn't.
