This hack is like the quick reply hack but on forumdisplay, so when viewing a forum, if the user has proper permissions to make a new thread then this quick thread box will show up for them.

Also view the screenshot to see how it looks

Features
  • Shows the user's signature if they have one!
  • subscribes to the thread according to what the user specified in their user options!

Additions
  • make it look better

    I made a few cosmetic changes to my forumdisplay_quickthread template, here it is:

    PHP Code:
    <form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform">
    <    input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="do" value="postthread" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />

    <    table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>
    <    table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">
    <    tr>
        <    td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]</td>
    </    tr>
    <    tr>
        <    td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td>
    </    tr>
    <    tr class="alt2">
        <    td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td>
        <    td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
    </    tr>
    <    tr>
        <    td class="alt1" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><b>$vbphrase[message]:</b></td>
        <    td class="alt1">
            <    table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
            <    tr valign="top">
                <    td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br /><br /><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="3" />
        <    input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td>
            </    tr>
            </    table>
        </    td>
    </    tr>
    </    table>
    </    td></tr></table>

    <    br />

    <    input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="$emailupdate" />
    </    form> 
    - button class for buttons.
    - tcat instead of thead for table header
    - 6 padding instead of 4

    This makes it look a little more like the quick reply box.

    Heres a screenie:

  • able to collapse the table

    Gary .. any chance you could add collapsibility to it?
    I did it with Karthick's template (thanks !) :

    Find :

    Code:
    <tr> 
    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td> 
</tr> 
<tr class="alt2"> 
    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td> 
    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td> 
    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td> 
        </tr> 
        </table> 
    </td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</td></tr></table>
    Replace with :

    Code:
    <tbody>
<tr> 
    <td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('quickthread')"><img id="collapseimg_quickthread" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_quickthread].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]
</td> 
</tr> 
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_quickthread" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickthread]">
<tr> 
    <td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td> 
</tr> 
<tr class="alt2"> 
    <td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td> 
    <td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td> 
    <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td> 
        </tr> 
        </table> 
    </td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</td></tr></tbody></table>
    Thanks for this very useful hack : 56k users love it !

  • better looking table (if the mod above does not work)

    Your instruction didn't work, so I just snip bits of codes and made it work: (entire template)

    This one is better looking one with collapse aswell.

    PHP Code:
    <form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform">
    <    input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="do" value="postthread" />
    <    input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />

    <    table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>
    <    table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">
    <    tbody>
    <    tr> 
        <    td class="tcat" colspan="2">
    <    a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('quickthread')"><img id="collapseimg_quickthread" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_quickthread].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]

    </    td> 
    </    tr> 
    </    tbody>
    <    tbody id="collapseobj_quickthread" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickthread]">
    <    tr>
        <    td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td>
    </    tr>
    <    tr class="alt2">
        <    td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td>
        <    td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
    </    tr>
    <    tr>
        <    td class="alt1" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><b>$vbphrase[message]:</b></td>
        <    td class="alt1">
            <    table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
            <    tr valign="top">
                <    td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br /><br /><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="3" />
        <    input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td>
            </    tr>
            </    table>
        </    td>
    </    tr>
    </    table>
    </    td></tr></tbody></table>

    <    br />

    <    input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1" />
