SMF 2.1. Replace the "Quick edit" button with "Modify".

[User2]

SMF 2.1.3.
How to make the "Modify" button appear instead of the "QUICK EDIT" button. I don't need the "QUICK EDIT" button at all.

Yes, he did.  Steve recommended posting in coding.

Shouldn't be too difficult, will have a look soon as I get a chance, if someone else doesn't get to it first.

$output['quickbuttons'] = array(
'quote' => array(
'label' => $txt['quote_action'],
'href' => $scripturl.'?action=post;quote='.$output['id'].';topic='.$context['current_topic'], '.'.$context['start'].';last_msg='.$context['topic_last_message'],

'more' => array(

'class' => 'you_sure',
'icon' => 'remove_button',
'show' => $context['can_delete'] && ($context['topic_first_message'] == $output['id'])
),


This will replace Quick Edit with Modify, and remove Modify from More.  Backup the file before you try this.

That will work. However, I recommend making this change by using the integrate_prepare_display_context hook rather than by editing the Display.php file.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

That may be a bitfor OP.  The code edit is pretty simple and easy to undo.

[User2]

Sir Oasis of Liver, which is the path to the file Display.php?

Dude. Instead of asking for us to spoon feed you, you'll get alot more traction if you at least TRY before asking....

Why would I try to do something? I'm just an SMF user, not an SMF web developer. After discussing these issues, I will no longer do this.

You're just moving 'modify' => array( from 'more' => array( up to $output['quickbuttons'] = array(.

To achieve what you asked for?

You don't have to be a developer to do the aformentioned edits.

I will no longer do this.

Then don't.

Sir Osis of Liver, thank you.

This is a fantastic thread. I like suppressing quick reply in favor of the full editor for consistency and the full suite of editor features. I love axing the quick edit button in favor of modify. But, can I have the reply box open by default when viewing a thread so there is not need to hit the reply button? Can I have the attachment and other options drop down open by default?

Thank you!

Ummmm.... dude?

You LITERALLY just asked for what exists in 2.1.x.

[Random Username]

I hope you're right and I'm confused! But... are you talking about this quick reply box that opened in this thread by default? It doesn't have the add attachment dialogue and thus isn't open by default. You have to hit preview? The other thing is I don't care which one achieves it but I don't like having both. If could have quick reply open with attachment upload box open by default, then wonderful. Then just remove the reply button and replace it with quick reply or just change the names. lol. Am I making any sense? I know different people like different things... and have different needs.

This is what I'm after:

[Kindred]

that is true -- attachments require the full editor.  However, 99% of the people who are responding to a post DO NOT want to add an attachment - and the attachment system is complicated enough that loading it in a thread would be  poor idea.   So, having the fill editor, with attachments, in the quick reply location is not going to happen.

however, the quick reply in 2.1 contains all the OTHER functionality of the full editor.

I understand your position, wanting what's best for the app/team. Excuse me if I don't use the correct terminology. My needs are a little different though perhaps. I don't suppose you might give me a hint? hehe.

Thanks Kindred.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Can I have the attachment and other options drop down open by default?

2.0 had a theme setting to enable/disable collapsible additional post options, another good idea that apparently was  removed from 2.1.

[Random Username]

I see. I still would appreciate any hints anyone can give me on any of it. I've tried a few things but to no avail as of yet, basically trying to replace the call to the quickreply template. Very simplistic, I know.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The code posted above will cause all posts and edits to go to the full reply editor.  Diego's mod will allow you to hide quick reply.
