[BETA] Quick Posting MOD 3.0.B1

[Handyman`]

actually, for Beta or RC bug fixes… instead of incrementing the version number, the Beta or RC number can be incremented.

When I was releasing RCs on STG, nobody has tested them, so I resigned from releasing them. But I will return to RCs system for newer versions of my MODs - maybe somebody from this site will have time to test them

Problem: When I go to my user control panel and try to change my preferences to show quick reply and quick topic, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Unknown column 'user_display_quick_topic' in 'field list' [1054]

SQL

UPDATE phpbbrc1_users SET user_allow_pm = 1, user_allow_viewemail = 1, user_allow_massemail = 1, user_allow_viewonline = 1, user_notify_type = '0', user_notify_pm = 1, user_options = '895', user_dst = 1, user_dateformat = 'D M d, Y g:i a', user_lang = 'en', user_timezone = -5, user_style = '1', user_display_quick_topic = 0, user_display_quick_reply = 0 WHERE user_id = 2

I'm assuming that I need to run an SQL query to insert some table fields, correct? Is it also possible to put it so quick topic and quick reply are on by default?

[LEW21]

I think that you've forgotten to run SQL queries:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_topic', 1);
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_reply', 1);
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_reply_title', 1);
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_post_options', 1);
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_post_icons', 1);
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('display_quick_post_smilies', 1);

ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD user_display_quick_topic tinyint(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD user_display_quick_reply tinyint(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL;

After running them, all users should have Quick Posting on.

A bug: in IE6, you can't insert smileys. If you try to insert an smiley, IE sends you to the page top without inserting anything.

Quick post area is overlapped by quick-mod tools in viewing post.

error in install or not spaced sufficiently to include the additional area under the jump-box?

nice mod by the way.

cheers,

Great mod!

But when I disable icons the smilies disappear also

[Highway of Life]

What you mean nobody tested them/it?

Your QR topic is one of the longest running topics on STG. -- very active, one of the first phpBB3 MODs, and therefore has been in development a long time, and used by many already.

My main complaints:

• Modifies too many core files, -- could slim down even more.
• Should auto-install
  Reasons:
  • Better use with the Database abstraction layer
  • Support for Firebird, postgres and Oracle databases.
  • Proper table prefixes.
  • Easier, less error-prone installation.

Another bug: "Display quick topic/reply" appears two times at UCP.

[nl2dav]

Can't confirm that, you possibly did something wrong during install.

[LEW21]

Quick post area is overlapped by quick-mod tools in viewing post.

If you want, you can give Quick Posting's div bigger margin-top. I didn't do it, because I think that it looks well.

But when I disable icons the smilies disappear also

Probably it's a bug - I haven't tested it on all possible configurations. I will check it, and if so, I will release new version.

I know that you were using stable versions, but nobody has tested beta/RC versions

Quick Posting MOD 3.0 language variables will be moved to language/xx/mods/quick_posting.php, so it will modify smaller number of files. It will also contain install.php file, that will do everything on the DB.

Hey i'm currently using RC1 and i installed everything, cleared cache, and installed the module but on the actual forum the quick reply doesn't show at all... i enabled it through the installed module. i haven't seen any errors but it just won't show. i also refreshed the style and template but the area where the quick reply is suppose to be is still empty... can you please help me out?

[StaticFX]

hey Lew... I have been using your quick reply mod on B5 for a while (no issues).. i was about to install it on rc1.

[StaticFX]

ok, got it working...
the layout was odd.... but i changed it to how i liked it anyways.
the smiles didnt work right in IE6... made a few tweaks

added in quick_posting.html:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/editor.js"></script>

changed this: (removed the href)

Code: Select all

<a onclick="insert_text('{smiley.A_SMILEY_CODE}', true); return false;"><img src="{smiley.SMILEY_IMG}" width="{smiley.SMILEY_WIDTH}" height="{smiley.SMILEY_HEIGHT}" alt="{smiley.SMILEY_CODE}" title="{smiley.SMILEY_DESC}" /></a>

i wanted to add the posting buttons.. but it didnt want to add them... i'll have to take a look at my old hacks

again.. thanks LEW!!
after some hacks, smacks, and whacks...
heres how it looks now:
(imageshack... slooooow)

a really nice feature would be the possibility to chose the forum you want to create a quick topic for, like a radio buttom or a jumpbox, in a new file like http://localhost/forum/quick_topic.php

of course, all of this in addition to the original mod


great mod
