Quick Reply

Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2004 4:40 am

By golly, it took a while, but I finally figured it out.

In quick_reply.tpl
Delete these lines

Code:

<p align="center"><b><font color="red" size="2" face="Tahoma" style="cursor:hand" OnClick="expandit(this)">«««« {L_QUICK_REPLY} »»»»</b></p></font> 


<span style="display:none" style=&{head};>

and

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="sid" value="{quick_reply.SID}">

And the box is already open, and it works fine in Firefox

If you want the quickreply box to show up without clicking(like on this site),
Then follow the instructions from GeekyGuy above.
This is also good to do,cause that clickable quickreply doesn't work in the opera browser.

thats great GG thanks so much

ermm... one last question

in the example below, where it says

OPEN themes/subSilver/forums/overall_header.tpl

I read that as (themes/Your_Theme/forums/overall_header.tpl) do I? And if you run about 15 different themes on your site you have to do all this to each theme?

Sorry if I've given you a headache on this one rofl Rolling Eyes

Muffin,
Yes, sorry, I forgot to make that change (I'll go back and edit that post). You are correct on both counts. If you have 15 themes, you need to do the edits to each theme.

You guys are all using really involved quick reply hacks.

I don't have any smilies available on my quick reply forms. I figure if you want to do a bunch of smilies just use regular reply or memorize the code.

I use quick reply with quote for forums and private messages and both of them were very easy to install. Only took minutes. If anyone wants the installs for them let me know.

I got one from phpbbhacks.com and the other from portedmods.

Well as much time as I've put in on this mod, I'm not gonna make any more changes on my site at least until... oh, maybe tonight Smile

But I am a lot more impressed with this quick reply mod than any of the others I've used or tried to use

I hope this works as well for everyone else as it does on my site.

If I do use it, I won't be using too many themes....I have a hard enough time keeping up with all the changes of files as it is when I have to do site upgrades.....I don't need much more added to it....almost every time I upgrade, I screw SOMETHING up because I forget a file.....or miss something.....the time before last I overwrote my meta.php but thankfully a site admin had a recent backup (as it was a newly changed file), and this last time, my config.php file had a couple spaces added to the end of it (how, I do not know because I didn't put them there)....but any more modifications and I'd be like ---> Bang Head

Hey Smackdaddy you're an expert at this and you mess up too? Shocked

You dont know how much better that makes me feel as a newbie lol no offence meant.

Thanks Geekyguy and everyone else for all your help, seeing as I was the one stirred this one up eeep!

I'm gonna install this tonight now when everyone's in bed so I can take my time and not mess things up, as I counted my themes onsite this afternoon and I have 15, all of which are used by the members! Confused

Geez which I'd stuck with just one them now rofl

No offense taken at all.....I got a good chuckle out of your use of the word "expert" and my name in the same sentence! LOL Wink

Hope all goes well for you tonight! And remember, you are 5 hours ahead of some of us....I am sure people will be around in case something goes awry! Wink

ooooooooooh now why doesnt that fill me with confidence rofl

Thanks I'll be back here before you can say Smackdaddy is an expert lol

Ps. in quick_reply.php on line 111 you can change how many smilies you want
the quickreply box to show.
It's here:

Code:

 $max_smilies = 24;

Just a tip from Dobbelina Very Happy

Muffin, SmackDaddy,

How did the installation go?

Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 5:26 am

Miserably.......................sob

After doing all the biz and double checking everything I got this error:

Quote:

Template->make_filename(): Error - file themes/Eos/forums/quick_reply.tpl does not exist

So goodness knows what I did wrong or if it's just it doesnt like my default theme. I'm using Eos, same as Chat's site.

I put the .tpl in the template folder, and the .php file in modules/forums/

The template folder being modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/

(I put those 2 files in those folders cos that's where Ganga told me where to put them earlier in this thread)

So I've put all the original unedited files back, taken out the .pl and .php file and it's back to normal with no quick reply rofl

Nuke hates me!

ermm thinking about it, shouldn't I have put quick_reply.tpl in themes/Eos/forums/

and not in modules/Forums/templates/subSilver?

Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 11:29 am

Muffin,
Yes, quick_reply.tpl should go in themes/Eos/forums. That would be the same for all your themes.

Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 3:08 pm

doh! I should have just whipped it out of subsilver and bunged it in there then rofl

Never mind I'll have anuvver go tomorrow when the boards quiet.

Thanks GG

Is yours working ok?

Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 3:13 pm

Appears to be working fine. I don't have a lot of activity on my boards yet. But I've posted a few test replies and it performed flawlessly.
