BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
REQUESTED BY: My left brainhalf. *gives credit*
DESCRIPTION: Puts several small additions to the QuickReply box, as well as some to the normal Reply page.
DIFFICULTY: Medium
INSTALL-TIME: 10-15 minutes + time for FireFly/Chen's QuickReply box if you haven't installed that yet
STEPS: 7

!! NOTE: instructions updated on 22:19 CET* - make sure to clear your cache and re-download if you downloaded it already!

(* = see edit of this post timestamp for your own time)

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION:
What this hack do is simple: it adds a Signature checkbox, E-mail notification checkbox, and a Return-to dropdown box to your Quick Reply box (hack by FireFly). For Admins and Mods, it also adds two checkboxes: Close thread, and Stick thread (so that you can stick/unstick & close/open threads when you make a reply).
On the normal Reply page, it adds the same stuff minus Signature and E-mail checkboxes, of course (as they are already there ).


Files to hack: newreply.php, showthread.php
Templates to mod: showthread_replybox*, newreply, newpost_attachment


Instructions are in the Attachment

Wohooo !
It gets released
Cheers KuraFire


To use your addon, should I just :
1. outright remove Tecks quick reply with close
2. install fireflys quick reply
3. install your add-ons ?

[KuraFire]

Yeah, that'd be best cos I have no idea how Teck did his quickreply hack, so it's probably not compatible with my add-on to FireFly's hack.

In fact, I'm 99% sure that it's incompatible. So Install FireFly's instead ^_^

[SemperFidelis]

Ok
Thanks for the quick answer.
Will do.

One other question, can you possibly incorporate you add-ons to editpost as well ?

[KuraFire]

uhm, good idea

I'll update the hack later so that it incorporates that (and I'll update the zipfile in the attachment)

thx 4 tip ^_^

Kura, I can't extract the files from the RAR archive (and I've got WinRAR). Could you please just post the text files? Thanks!

[KuraFire]

Update your WinRAR to the latest version

[SemperFidelis]

Sweet
Ive now un-installed Tecks and installed Firefly's

Quick question though.
Your instructions say :

PHP Code:

FIND:
<tr bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">

REPLACE WITH:
<tr bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"> 

But the standard vb 2.2.9 newpost_attachment template contains :

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Attach file:</b></normalfont><br>
    <smallfont>Maximum size: $maxattachsize bytes</smallfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><smallfont><input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$maxattachsize_temp">
    <input type="file" class="bginput" name="attachment"><br>
    Valid file extensions: $attachextensions</smallfont></td>
</tr> 

Do you mean replace both instances of : <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" ?
