Request: Reply Button

[philipayres]

We're after a plugin to give us a reply button in the header of each post, positioned before the quote button.  The reply button should appear on each post in the thread and each post in the recent posts list.

The reply button should then display the user's chosen editor (bb code or visual) with a blank text entry box, no quote.  Reply to obviously appear at the current end of thread the post is from.

Got a whole bunch of users moaning about it's removal in the new version of Proboards

Give this a go.

Just updated the code a little:

Pebble I've been using this v0.0.2 and it works well, but it does cause one problem.  Could you expand it to include adding the Reply button to the Recent Posts view so I can remove all the Reply codes I have?

I have the below code in Layout Templates > Thread > Post List that adds the Reply button to Recent Posts:

  <div class="controls">
    <!-- <Adds Reply button in Recent Posts view> -->
      <a class="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" role="button">Reply</a>
    <!-- </Adds Reply button in Recent Posts view> -->
      $[post.quote_button]
      $[post.edit_button]
      $[post.likes.button]
      $[post.select_options]
  </div>

With your plug-in enabled + the code above for Recent Posts, a double Reply button displays in each post rather than just the one from your plug-in.  With the above code disabled, the double Reply stops, but so does the Recent Posts.

Not sure how these two relate so that it creates that double Reply, but it does.

I'd like to second that request to include Recent Posts in the plugin.
Thanks for all the hard work so far, much appreciated.

DeltaDart, your code there might be just what I need to stop my members whining about it for until/unless the plugin gets updated.

Yep. Me too. I'll third it. I made a plugin request without seeing this one here. I need one for each post in the recent posts link. So, someone pointed me this way. Phooey, I tried both downloads and neither work.


Edited to say: I just went back and checked. I never realized that on the regular thread posts, that there was not a reply button. So, this code does work but not in the "mors recent posts" link. Or at least it's this way for me.

Edited again to say thanks DeltaDart That was the first time I went into that section and changed/added anything. It works perfectly. Thanks, both you and pebble.

This code is working in IE ~ but not Chrome. Anyone else experiencing that?

Hi DeltaDart, I used that code you posted:


<!-- <Adds Reply button in Recent Posts view> -->
     <a class="button" href="/post/new/$[post.thread_id]" role="button">Reply</a>
   <!-- </Adds Reply button in Recent Posts view> -->

and found it put the reply button everywhere, did you get it to display only on the latest posts page? Can anyone else help with this?
