New Posting Features - Guests can use quick reply

Guests can use quick reply
by Dean Clatworthy

Credit goes to zylstra on this one. Unfortunately his mod hasn't worked for a while since human verification for guests was introduced. It was an easy fix so here's a working version.

Installation

1. Upload the product XML file to your adminCP.
2. In your SHOWTHREAD template find:

<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[message]:</div>

Above it place:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
    $usernamecode
$human_verify
    <br />
</if>

F.A.Q.

Q. The quick reply box isn't showing for guests
A. Make sure your forum permissions are set up correctly to allow the unregistered/not logged in usergroup to reply to threads in that forum.

Awesome! What about the name of the guest. Is there a way to add an input field for the name?

[Dean C]

There already is an input field for the guests username.

I installed this on VB 3.7.5, everything work great. I was happy
However, I installed VB 3.8 and now the human verification is not showing up.
I understand this mod is for VB 3.7.x only.
Any ideas on how to get it to function again?

The same question
How?

[Dean C]

It's because the human verification system code changed completely in vB3.8. I might update it if I get some time, but don't bank on it
