UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods [6.2] Quick Reply 3.0

Oh man, I can't get them both to work at the same time.... *L* Thinking I'm gonna give up until someone comes up with something or 6.2 comes out...... Hiding from my users 'til then....hehe

What can't you get to work together?

The graemlin panel and the Quick Reply?

Install the graemlin panel first... then do quick reply.... but don't bother to upload the graemlinpanel.php scrip...as it's already there.

Hey Josh...... It's the Reply to Who and Quick Reply conflicting I think.... I have quick reply in now .....

Updated the instructions to include GERMAN language file additions - thanks jluerken.

no prob Josh,

If someone else is working on a hack which maybe needs a translation into german simply mail me!

Josh I am getting a runtime error trying to run this one with the popup greamlin panel.
Error Line 8 Doesn't support this property or method
Everything else seems ok for now..

Greamlin box works perfect if you continue on with post. Just the quick reply.

Also in the instructions I see us modifying a file but it doesn't happen (/languages/showthreaded.php)

But in the list of alter files generic.php is altered but it wasn't listed up top. Should I have edited the showthreaded instead of the generic?

This looks like a winner once I get rid of that bug

Looks like it was the extra modification I added with lisas code. I uploaded the panel you supplied and it worked fine.
Thanks great for another great add on!!

Ah good. You fixed it before I had a chance to look at it. Glad it works for you.

Although I didn't create it. It's originally Allen's and Gardener's work. I just updated/tweaked a bit, again basing all greatness on JustDave's work. LOL

I'm good at riding on coattails.

fixed code in original post?

huh ?

We are running version 3.0 here at threadsdev now.

Table wrappers? I just installed table wrappers and I see the quick reply doesn't have them. I know I had to use extra code with the reply to who that conflicted with this hack. (both working now) Perhaps that got modified during the change or not accounted for?

Josh
Do you know if this mod creates any extra bandwidth?

Quick Reply typically saves some... because people don't need to load another page to reply... they don't need to load all the greaemlins and post icons etc....

I've learned most people use it for replies, unless they are composing something lengthy... So often you are saving a page load per reply, plus all those images.

It's faster and uses less bandwidth.

Sounds like my next hack.

OK, Looks like I don't have this in showflat.php because I did the "reply to who" hack, what do I need to do?

## Find this:
##

if ($ParentPost) {
$postrow[$i]['Subject'] = "<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/showthreaded.php?Cat=$Cat&Board=$Board&Number=$ParentPost&page=$page&view=$view&sb=$sb&o=$o&vc=1" target="_new" title="{$ubbt_lang['RESPONSE_TO']}$ParentPost" alt="{$ubbt_lang['RESPONSE_TO']}$ParentPost">$Subject</a>";
}

If you are running the "Reply to Who" mod..... you won't be able to find that one bit in showflat.php

Instead, look for this:

$postrow[$i]['Subject'] = $Subject;


Change to this:

$postrow[$i]['Subject'] = "<span id="subject$i">$Subject</span>";

Josh
The line: $postrow[$i]['Subject'] = $Subject;
appears twice, is it the last one?

Correct!

I'll add clarification instructions to my first post, as these two hacks together are common....but confuse people.

Hmmm, I'm getting funky code at the top of every page like this:

$ubbt_lang['QUICK_REPLY'] = "Quick Reply:"; $ubbt_lang['POST_ICON'] = "Post Icon:"; $ubbt_lang['PREVIEW_REPLY'] = "Preview Reply"; $ubbt_lang['USE_GRAEMLINS'] = "Use Graemlins"; $ubbt_lang['SPELL_CHECK'] = "Check Spelling";

Any ideas?

When you put those strings in the language file.... They need to be just ABOVE the PHP closing tag ?> or else it'll output them as text.

Check your language file modifications and make sure each string is within the PHP tags <? and ?>

That's what I get for doing this when I'm a sleep, I read it as <? (I thought that was odd) Thanks again.

When I click on "Use Graemlins" nothing happens, is that another add-on hack?

You need to upload that included graemlin popup script to your threads directory.

That's part of the popup graemlin hack.. but I included it in this zip as well... so that you should have everything you need.

You just upload both to the main threads dir right?

Then if the popup isn't opening.....

a) you might have popup stopper software installed

or you missed or made a mistake with the instructions to the templates. That's where the javascript is to pop open the new window.

If it works for you here when you click, then I would recheck your instructions.

Similar to the problem to the language files.... some of those instructions are "BELOW" or "ABOVE" this ADD this and not replace.

I've made the same mistake myself every once in a while, so used to finding this and replacing.... but some instructions in there call for you to find this and add something either below or above. I bet that's the problem. I did that just 2 nights ago.

I was afraid of that.

Weird, the "Use Graemlins" popup works in threaded view but not in flat mode and the "quick reply" links do not work on threaded or flat.

All those are Javascript related.

I'd check your showflat.tmpl and showthreaded.tmpl files again.

Might want to start fresh with find and replace.

Um... what am I doing wrong? I've downloaded the zip file twice and both times, the install text file is corrupt. Help? Please?

I just d/l it again and it seems fine on my end. What text editor are you using to view it?

Notepad

Ok.... I just used noted and it's ok. In notepad, it looked like i had downloaded it in binary.

Ok cool.... I use Ultra Edit here.... Glad it's working.....

Oh Man! This is SWEET! Thanks guys! AWESOME mod!

I just finished this mod and I had the previous version so it took me a couple of hours. Everything works really well except for 1 thing. When I click on the "use Graemlins" the box pops up but it doesn't put the graemlins in the post. I can see them in the pop up box and click on them but it doesn't put them there. Does anyone have an idea where to start looking so I don't have to completely redo the mod?

See if it behaves that way for both showflat and showthreaded.

It's most likely the javascrpt at the top of showflat.tmpl or showthreaded.tmpl

But checking if it works in one and not the other may help narrow it down.

Thanks for the quick reply (excuse the pun ). It doesn't work in either one. It does the exact same thing.

Hmm.....
Then I'm not really sure.

Javascript really isn't my thing. (I didn't create that part).

Maybe JustDave, Gardener or a javascript guru will have an idea.

Thanks, I am trying to learn this and since it looks like it is supposed to then it's not in the template mods, am I correct in thinking this?

Just a guess, is the name of the reply form correct?

Could you give me a link to where it is, seeing the javascript error when clicking on the graemlin would surely help a lot.
