XF 2.0 Post reply button

[Bombardier]

My users are requesting a 'Post Reply' button at the top right of the thread pages, is there a way of achieving this ?

Thanks in advance

Ooo no....All those posts you'll get where people answer without reading the thread

Hello,

Do you have a screenshot please ?

 

[Bombardier]

Sorry for the delay. Something like this

Ok, in your thread_view template, find :

<xf:button class="button--link menuTrigger" data-xf-click="menu" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" title="{{ phrase('more_options') }}">&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;</xf:button>

Replace by :

<xf:if is="$thread.canReply()">
    <xf:button href="{{ link('threads/reply', $thread) }}" data-xf-click="overlay" class="button--link" icon="write">{{ phrase('reply') }}</xf:button>
</xf:if>
<xf:button class="button--link menuTrigger" data-xf-click="menu" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" title="{{ phrase('more_options') }}">&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;</xf:button>

Screen :


Remove data-xf-click="overlay" if you don't want an overlay !

Worked great thank you very much

After checking with registered users rather than my admin account it would seem the reply button does not show unless admin or mod?
I have checked group permissions but cannot see what I may need to change there, any ideas ? @SyTry

For me it work, try this <xf:if is="$xf.visitor.user_id"> instead of <xf:if is="$thread.canReply()"> !

very confusing, works for admin & mod accounts but not for registered users?
I have been through all the permissions and all is well there. If you have any other suggestions they will be gratefully received

Do your members have the button to answer here :


If they don't have it, it's a problem with permissions

 

[Bombardier]

Yes they can reply to threads in the normal way

this is offtopic but kind of related. there was a bit of code that added a new thread button on thread pages. it was for xf1. i haven't found a similar solution for xf2. since the code would go in the same template... would it be possible for you to provide that as well? @SyTry basically a new thread button (for starting a new thread in same forum) that would appear at the same place where you are adding the reply button in #5

thanks!

this is the code for xf1:

Add a New Thread Button to Threadview

Search in the template thread_view for: below it. {xen:phrase post_new_thread}

Oh my bad, try this. Find (thread_view) :

                    <xf:if is="$thread.canWatch()">
                        <xf:button href="{{ link('threads/watch', $thread) }}" class="button--link"
                            data-xf-click="switch-overlay"
                            data-sk-watch="{{ phrase('watch') }}"
                            data-sk-unwatch="{{ phrase('unwatch') }}">
                            <xf:if is="{$thread.Watch.{$xf.visitor.user_id}}">
                                {{ phrase('unwatch') }}
                            <xf:else />
                                {{ phrase('watch') }}
                            </xf:if>
                        </xf:button>
                    </xf:if>

Add this after :

                    <xf:if is="$thread.canReply()">
                        <xf:button href="{{ link('threads/reply', $thread) }}" data-xf-click="overlay" class="button--link" icon="write">{{ phrase('reply') }}</xf:button>
                    </xf:if>

EDIT : @OperaManiac I will take a look yes !

No, we're going to pretend you never had a solution so just follow this answer :

XF 2.0 - Post reply button

My users are requesting a 'Post Reply' button at the top right of the thread pages, is there a way of achieving this ? Thanks in advance :)

It should be good because the first code was in the moderation part !

Thanks for posting this solution... I've been looking for this since we decided to transition to Xenforo from vBulletin. Works perfectly!

Remove data-xf-click="overlay" if you don't want an overlay !

Regards, SyTry

Great solution. It works perfect for me. Just one more thing to add. You can change the class (class="button--link") to the class of your Post Reply button in the bottom of the page. Will be mush more recognizable that way.

                    </xf:if>

EDIT : @OperaManiac I will take a look yes !

Is there a way so that the editor will be focused? Right now, the first button in the toolbar is being focused instead of the editor area.
