Reply Button In Every Post

[leftezi]

I suggest a feature that would be helpful for newbies:

I think that when someone click on the "Reply" button near a post, he wants to answer to this post.
This would be helpful if in the beginning from the new post would be mentioned the poster from the post.

Example: If George have a post and i click the button "Reply" in his post, my post start with a "@George".
I hope you understand me.

This could be more helpful if the "@George" was clickable (url) and leads to George's post.
But i think this would be very complicated for the mods author.

That would make quoting somewhat redundant, wouldn't it? It's just as simple to click on the quote button.

This code edit might work for you.  It alters the quote functionality to this.

In Sources/Post.php, look for this line:

Code (Find) Select Expand

$form_message = '[quote author=' . $mname . ' link=topic=' . $topic . '.msg' . (int) $_REQUEST['quote'] . '#msg' . (int) $_REQUEST['quote'] . ' date=' . $mdate . ']' . "\n" . rtrim($form_message) . "\n" . '[/quote]';
and replace it with this:

Code (Replace) Select Expand

$form_message = '[quote author=' . $mname . ' link=topic=' . $topic . '.msg' . (int) $_REQUEST['quote'] . '#msg' . (int) $_REQUEST['quote'] . ' date=' . $mdate . ']' . "\n" . rtrim($form_message) . "\n[/quote]\n@" . $mname . ': ';

Thanks.
I wanted to give a try and have installed the mod in SMF 2.0.13 but i don't see any reply button.
Is somewhere a setting that i've missed or is it not compatible with 2.0.13 ?

If you're using a custom theme you need to make manual edits.

Make the following change to ./Themes/default/Display.template.php:

Find:

Code Select Expand

<li class="reply_button_in_every_post">

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<li class="reply_button">

(This also makes the change that was made to ./Themes/default/css/index.css redundant)
