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.

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

[Afro]

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

[Bulakbol]

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

Code Select Expand

if ($context['post_box_switch'] == 'off' && $context['post_box_message'] != '')
replace with

Code Select Expand

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

if ($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

... !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.
