Quick Reply

[crofter]

Can you please tell me how i set this up so it shows at the bottom of the messages, so people can type in the reply without having to click the reply button before they can type message.

Many thanks

Greetings,

Search here: http://www.phpbb.com or here http://www.phpbbhacks.com for a quick reply mod, or use one of the styles from here that already includes the feature such as Aphrodite, MorpheusX etc..

Greetings,

Open 'xs/xs_topic.tpl' and remove the '<div></div>' tags that are wrapped around the quick reply table. If you also want to remove the button then either remove or comment the line where it's set... 4 lines above the first 'div' you need to remove.

thankyou, now automatically there

I want to install the easy scrolling message mod which I found thanks to the link that UseLess posted above, but my config.php has the following lines in it:-

// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!

I'm not at all sure what to do here, do I just add the following regardless?:-

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) values ('ESMM', 'This is a test message please edit me.');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) values ('ESMS', '300');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) values ('ESMD', 'left');

Thanks again

Greetings,

Those are SQL statements and need to be applied to the db, as the db table 'phpbb_config' needs updating, not the file 'config.php'.

Edit: and as your question has nothing at all to do with the original post you would be better off making a new thread. As questions added to already solved questions can be missed...

Look at lines 73 -> 128. THose lines build reply box. If you want to alter appearance of quick reply, the code is in between those lines.

[dickibobboy]

I have dont this and it opens the box but the reply button doest work

i removed

<div id="quick_reply" style="display: none; position: relative; "><form action="<?php echo append_sid('posting.'.$phpEx); ?>" method="post" name="post" style="display: inline;">{S_HIDDEN_FIELDS}<table class="forumline" width="100%" cellspacing="0">

and

</div>

[UseLess]

Greetings,

You removed too much.

Removing...

Code: Select all

<div id="quick_reply" style="display: none; position: relative; ">

and

Code: Select all

</div>

should do it, aswell as the instructions given previously.

[dickibobboy]

looks better and not streched.. but once i do this and try and post i get an error saying invalid session.
