Moving Quick Reply button to title bar..

[Vickie85]

Forum URL: http://Http://gounlimited.boards.net

I've been up all night trying everything I can to move this darned button and I can not get it done for the life of me! I want the Quick Reply Button to match the Reply button in the title bar... I'd like them to look the same but that's not as important as actually getting a working button into the title bar opposite the full reply button... 

Can someone please help me? Thank you anyone in advance!

Hey Vickie85,

To clarify, you're looking to get the "Post Quick Reply" button attached to the title bar of the Quick Reply box so it looks like the regular "Reply" button?

[Vickie85]

We'll I want it to still 'say' quick reply I mean I want the buttons themselves to look alike, but basically yeah... I'm not as worried about to looks of it right now as I am actually getting the quick reply button into the title bar on the left side... Heh I hope I'm making sense it's been a long night :/

I see what you're going for, Vickie85. Unfortunately the quick reply button is an object that doesn't allow you to use it's attributes like "href", so we have to move the button itself with JavaScript to accomplish that.

Go into the Thread > Quick Reply template and replace the "Quicky" line of HTML with this instead:

<span class="quick-reply-button" style="float: left"></span>

Then paste this script at the bottom of that template.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input[value="Post Quick Reply"]').insertBefore('.quick-reply-button');
});
</script>

We'll I put it in and it doesn't seem to be working :/ I checked it like 3 times and it looks right to me so I don't understand why it's not working..

When I check this thread it seems to be working as intended, Vickie85:

That's odd let me try a different browser

[Vickie85]

Hmm it's still not working for me and I tried 3 browsers and I restarted my ipad

[David Clark]

Strange, Vickie85, it's showing correctly for me. Are you on a mobile device? Could you try clearing your browser cache just in case it has an old version of the page cached?

[Vickie85]

I am on an ipad.. But I've already done that.. I've closed all my browsers and restarted my ipad then I used a file cleaning tool and restarted it again and it's still not working.. It's not working from my phone either..

[David Clark]

Is it possible you might have access to a computer to check and see if the experience is the same? Touchscreen devices are not technically supported for admin panel functions, so checking on a computer could help shed some light on why we're having trouble in this area.

[Vickie85]

Not at the moment no I have my daughter and my nephew both sleeping next to me..


And anyway I built most of this forum on my ipad... And like I said it isn't working on my phone either, that's 5 different browsers across 2 devices..

I don't know I probably screwed something up

I tried moving the script to the global header instead of the template, Vickie85 - did that have an effect?

[Vickie85]

No it's still not working on either my iPhone or my ipad

[Vickie85]

It's like clicking the button doesn't do anything it looks like it's clicked but the spinner wheel isn't even showing
