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)

For SMF 2.1.4?

For SMF 2.1.4?

@Marina3 Try the following code edit in ./Sources/Display.php (make a backup copy of the file first).

Find:

Code Select Expand

    $output['quickbuttons'] = array(
Add After:

Code Select Expand

        'reply' => array(
            'label' => $txt['reply'],
            'href' => $scripturl.'?action=post;topic='.$context['current_topic'],'.'.$context['start'].';last_msg='.$context['topic_last_message'],
            'javascript' => 'onclick="return oQuickReply;"',
            'icon' => 'change_menu',
            'show' => $context['can_reply']
        ),

Should look like this (you may need to clear your browser cache if it doesn't load immediately) ...

Everything works! Thank you very much!

Working here too... Thank you... a nice little add on.  I wonder if the users will even notice.

In case someone wants this in 2.1.4 without having to manually make the code edit, I created a very simple mod package containing the change that GL700Wing specified...

Had some spare time today so I've created a hooks-only mod for this feature - will post link when it's approved.
