Reply Button In Every Post

[KahneFan]

What is this IPYP you speak off?

I'm thinking of having it grab the reply and if they are not registered, have a quick registration form appear underneath, (That way they dont have to leave the  page) but that will take a bit more SMF/PHP skills than I have at the mo.

Ravac has it right, iPost is my site (banner in signature).

And, it's funny, the suggestion prior to yours was close. On iPost, Tony suggested I make it so that when the new reply button is clicked a reply box would pop up similar to the quick reply box. Both of these would be above my skill level at this time. And TBH, I like having the reply button go to the full reply page for members, and I like guests being taken to the login+register page. Maybe the person clicking is actually a member who forgot to log in. However, in regards to Tony's suggestion, it wouldn't be hard for me to make another, similar, mod which would act like the "Go Down" button which takes you to the bottom of the page, which is where the quick reply box is.

 If you would prefer to direct your members to the quick reply box:

./Themes/default/Display.template.php
FIND:

Code Select Expand


      // Simple Reply Button
      echo '
               <li><a href="', $scripturl . '?action=post;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';num_replies=' . $context['num_replies'], '">', $respond_button, '</a></li>';


REPLACE WITH:

Code Select Expand


if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
      // Simple Reply Button
      echo '
               <li><a href="#quickreply">', $respond_button, '</a></li>';


Note2: I added a conditional statement to the second code since it would wreak havoc on a guest when they can't see the quick reply box.

Don't take me as pretending to have any idea what I'm talking about beyond simply pointing out that the list tag is not in the original edit according to either my file or the parser

That's for 2.0. I will have to take a look at 1.1.X for that mod to the mod

[KahneFan]

I have added a 2nd version which directs to quick reply for 1.1.x and 2.0.

To Do
Combine the two versions. If quick reply is on, direct to quick reply. If QR is off, direct to full reply page.
**If I can figure out how: give admins a switch in admin panel to choose which reply option they want to direct users to.

Can't believe this wasn't done by someone sooner! Thanks!

Ahhh, well, that explains everything

Just wanted to be sure you saw I made a second package which will achieve this for you.

[Tiribulus]

I was going to try it both ways and see which I like best. Thanks for the quick work. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well.

V1.1
The button is now "smart". If quick reply is on, users will be directed to quick reply. If quick reply is off, they will be directed to the full reply page. If the user is a guest, they will be directed to the login/register page.

That is such a cool thing to do .  . Great mod .

Many thanks for this mod. It installed fine on 1.1.8 and works great.
Cheers

Thanks

Hi KahneFan, further to my post above, the mod is great but we've hit a snag. The reply button remains is a topic is LOCKED and then is the members don't notice they click it only to get an error message.

Is there anyway to hide the button when a topic is locked?

Cheers

Chas.

[KahneFan]

I'll have to look into that.

[Chas Large]

I'll have to look into that.

Many thanks.
