User can Enable/Disable Quick Reply?

[Cyricx]

Was thinking about this.

We have quick reply enabled on my board but trying to optimize things for the dialup users so their load times aren't as bad

Thought about doing something in the templates with the profilefield manager, but the quick reply is enabled via showthread.php by what I can tell.

Prolly could still use the profilefield for a yes no radio..

Any ideas? Or has anyone already hacked this in that would like to share?

whar are you telling that...a user can activate/deactivate the Quick Reply ?

Oooo... I'd like to be able to do that, too... I like the quick reply, but a lot of my members don't!

That should be easy for vB3. Just make a new profilefield and do a conditional in the showthtread template. Like the following:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx] == 'yes'">
$quickreply
</if>

I've just done this if anybody needs the code for it.

Boofo,

Could you post the code here? This is a great idea, and it will also be useful for many other profile options.

These conditionals are awesome!

Here you go!

Installation instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a new Custom Profile Field:

No
Set Default: Yes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In showthread template FIND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$quickreply

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REPLACE that with
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field15'] == 'Yes' OR $bbuserinfo['field15'] == ''">
$quickreply
</if>

NOTE: Change field15 to the profile field of the Quick Reply Box Status option.

damn I thought I looked for that variable and didn't see it LOL

Thanks boofo, that'll teach me to use the damn search function

[Boofo]

What search function? I just made that code a few minutes ago. I didn't get it from vb.org.

Thanks! I've already implemented it on a few things.

I did something similar to this for VB2 and it there was so much more involved.
