Reply Button in Posts/PM's

[aRMY83]

To place a "Reply" button left of the Quote button in Posts/PM's.

Post Reply Example:



Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List and find this: (line 17 or so)

and look for:

$[post.quote_button]

and place this:

<a class="reply-button button" href="/post/new/" role="button">Reply</a>

to the left of it which will then look like this:

<div class="controls">
<a class="reply-button button" href="/post/new/" role="button">Reply</a>$[post.quote_button]
$[post.edit_button]
$[post.likes.button]
$[post.select_options]
</div>

Message Reply Example:



Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Conversations > Message List and find this: (line 19 or so)

and look for:

$[message.quote_button]

and place this:

<a class="reply-button button" role="button" href="/message/new/">Reply</a>

to the left of it which will then look like this:

<div class="controls">
<a class="reply-button button" role="button" href="/message/new/">Reply</a>$[message.quote_button]
$[message.select_options]
</div>

If you decide you want to style your buttons with a different background and or text color then give them
a unique id for this purpose.

Examples:

<a class="reply-button button test" href="/post/new/" role="button">Reply</a>

<a class="reply-button button test" role="button" href="/message/new/">Reply</a>

Now create a CSS (example below) and then place it at the bottom of your Style Sheet:

/* Button for Post Reply - Message Reply */
.button.test { background-color: #hex color or transparent; color: #hex color;

Caution: Before making any modifications to any templates, do a Ctrl + A + C and then Ctrl + V and save to notepad. It's a good practice to get into when modifying any template.
