This goes on the 'to add list' thanks ;)

It's an good mod.

could we test only for the members who try to post within a said interval of time.

Say a user post one message, and clicks on new message button with in 5 mins, we could display this post box instead of showing everytime.

Perfect.....added it and im excited!!

Very useful mod, installed perfectly.  Is there a way to disable it for pm's and certain boards?

weldone. seems not to be working with quickbox...any file to edit?

Thanks for the compliments.


@edi67
Thanks for the Italian translation.

@A.SK
Sorry, I don't know how to do it.

@cleanfiles
I'll update the mod today. Meanwhile, you can disable it by editing Post.template.php. Find
if ($context['post_box_switch'] == 'off' && $context['post_box_message'] != '')
replace with
if ($context['post_box_switch'] == 'off' && $context['post_box_message'] != '' && $context['current_action'] == 'post')

If you want to display the message only in few boards, find the board id's and replace the above line with

Quoteif ($context['post_box_switch'] == 'off' && $context['post_box_message'] != '' && $context['current_action'] == 'post' && in_array($context['current_board'], array(62, 4)))

Replace the number 62 and 4 with the board id's where you want to display the message. To exclude the boards, use

Quote... !in_array($context['current_board'], array(62, 4)

@sam_milla
The quick Reply box has its own message and different configuration, so I didn't touch it. If you want to change the message in the Quick Reply box, find $txt['quick_reply_2'] (SMF 1.1.7) or $txt['quick_reply_desc'] (SMF beta 4) from languages/index.english.php and change the text.

Installed and works Perfectly on a heavily modded 1.1.7 forum..................Great Mod !!!!

Very cool thank you.   

Hmmmm i wonder if HTML is allowed?  Maybe some 125x125 google ads

Time to tinker   lol...

how to add post box message box with WYSIWYG  RICH TEXT EDITOR. I very like your mod.

Sweet.....Google ads work.

ammmm

good mod :)

Nice Mod, my friend. :)

Sorry guys. I am pulling this mod out due to a conflict.

Restored but only for SMF version 1.1.7. Thanks people for understanding.

Would be great for SMF2 and with a per-board and per-group setting.

I may do that in the next update for version 1.1.7 though.  Thanks for the idea.

Swedish translation:

Help.swedish.php:


$helptxt['post_box_rows'] = 'Det här låter dig ändra höjden på meddelandeboxen.';
$helptxt['post_box_columns'] = 'Det här låter dig ändra bredden på meddelandeboxen.';
$helptxt['post_box_message'] = 'Ange det meddelande so mvisas för medlemmar när de skriver ett inlägg. Du kan använda bbkod och smileys.';
$helptxt['post_box_switch'] = 'Det här inaktiverar visningen av meddelanden i meddelandeboxen.';


Modifications.swedish.php:


$txt['post_box_rows'] = 'Höjd på meddelandeboxen';
$txt['post_box_rows_desc'] = 'Standard är 12 rader';
$txt['post_box_columns'] = 'Bredd på meddelandeboxen';
$txt['post_box_columns_desc'] = 'Standard är 96%.';
$txt['post_box_message'] = 'Ange meddelandet som visas för medlemmar';
$txt['post_box_message_desc'] = 'Du kan använda BBkod och smileys.';
$txt['post_box_switch'] = 'Inaktivera meddelandeboxen;
$txt['post_box_switch_desc'] = 'Göm meddelandet från författare.';


Thanks Nas. I will update the mod today.

I got the same message. How did you fix it? thanks

@wandawill
Apologies for the late reply. Do you still need help with the Post.template.php?

Greate mod...

I need help. How to put in quick reply?

Thanks...

@djaca
In default/languages/index.english.php, find
$txt['quick_reply_2']
and replace the contents.

Hello! Can you please tell me how to change background color of Postbox in normal Reply? Its black on my forum (See 1st attach) And can you please post code that you used on this pic..i like your style on your postbox.. (See 2nd attach).. Thank you!(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcustom.simplemachines.org%2Fmods%2Findex.php%3Faction-download%3Bmod%3D1598%3Bid%3D82908%3Bimage&hash=6c37dbe660c8cfdfe2db65bbc36c0d206df80f7d)

@Jurek
To change the background of the notice box, load the default/Post.template.php and look for
<td class="tborder" width="18%" height="', $context['post_box_rows'], '" valign="top" align="left" style="overflow: auto; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid red;">
replace with

Quote<td class="tborder" width="18%" height="', $context['post_box_rows'], '" valign="top" align="left" style="overflow: auto; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid red; background-color: yellow;">

Use the bulletin board codes (bbc). Here's your request.

You can also use [br] instead of linebreak.
... [center][color=red]Violators will be[br] prosecuted.
[br][br]You are now warned.[/color] ...


/edited for spelling mistake.

OMG man..your a God :) thank you very much.. your mod rules :)

lol lol. My pleasure.

Thanks a lot for this great mod :)

Here's the portuguese strings:

]]></add>
      </operation>
   </file>

It would be great if in a future release we could choose the boards in which to show the box, from the admin panel instead of manually edit the Post.template.php.
Anyway, it works perfectly just the way it is  ;)

@FragaCampos
Thanks for the language translation. I'll add them to the next update/version. I will add the board id text box to where the message will appear as well.

Thanks guys for the suggestion.

How about the option to have it show for users under a certain (configurable) postcount?

Maybe by group. I don't have time to update my mods yet though. Thanks for the suggestion.

While installing it on SMF 1.1.11 I get error "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

any update bulakbol?
or, technica have you tried installing the mod manually? might work?

an update is scheduled for SMF 2.0 RC3 ?

Can you please update this mod for SMF 2.0 RC4  :)

when make to work in 2.0

in list for download for smf version 2.0 :-[
