Can you please screenshot the place where you want to add it?

 

[sross]

basically right above selected posts

You must edit the thread_view template and add your code below this code.

<xen:require css="thread_view.css" />

And add float:right style to make it dsiplay where you want, like so.

<span style="float:right">your code</span>

Is there a generic reply code for threads (not a coder so would need full instructions). Thanks for the help!

 

[wang]

Can you please define reply code for threads?

 

[sross]

I guess it's the same as the "More.." link at bottom of thread?

It use to be in the thread_view template although it was commented out and since removed.

You can use that as a reference

If you want it to look like the More Options link, add this code:

<div style="float:right">
<xen:if is="{$canReply}">
    <a href="{xen:link 'threads/reply', $thread}"><input type="submit" class="button DisableOnSubmit" value="{xen:phrase more_options}..." name="more_options" /></a>
</xen:if>
</div>

If you want the link to displayed as a simple reply button, follow the documentation above.

<div style="float:right">
<xen:if is="{$canReply}">
<a href="{xen:link 'threads/reply', $thread}"><input type="submit" class="button DisableOnSubmit" value="{xenhrase more_options}..." name="more_options" /></a>
</xen:if>
</div>

sorry, your code has a smiley in it, can you clarify the code? thanks!

Now it displays correctly.

 

[sross]

that's very close, but I's like it above that, pretty much the same level as the title line. Thanks so far

You are welcome sir

Did you add it after the part that I mentioned in my previous post? Did you wrap it up inside the div style with float right?

Taking another look at your screenshot, it appears that you are using a custom style, and it might have changed things for that template. Because in a default style, it should have displayed above the selected posts link.

 

[sross]

yes it's custom style. Here is the top part of the template code if that sheds any light:

<xen:title>{xen:helper threadPrefix, $thread, escaped}{$thread.title}{xen:helper pagenumber, $page}</xen:title>
<xen:h1>{xen:helper threadPrefix, $thread}{$thread.title}</xen:h1>

<xen:description>
   {xen:phrase discussion_in_x_started_by_y_date_z,
     'forum=<a href="{xen:link forums, $forum}">{$forum.title}</a>',
     'name={xen:helper username, $thread}',
     'date=<a href="{xen:link threads, $thread}">{xen:datetime $thread.post_date, html}</a>'}
</xen:description>

<xen:navigation>
   <xen:breadcrumb source="$nodeBreadCrumbs" />
</xen:navigation>

<xen:container var="$head.canonical">
   <link rel="canonical" href="{xen:link 'canonical:threads', $thread, 'page={$page}'}" /></xen:container>
<xen:container var="$head.description">
   <meta name="description" content="{xen:helper snippet, $firstPost.message, 155}" /></xen:container>
<xen:container var="$head.openGraph"><xen:include template="open_graph_meta">
     <xen:set var="$url">{xen:link 'canonical:threads', $thread}</xen:set>
     <xen:set var="$title">{xen:helper threadPrefix, $thread, escaped}{$thread.title}</xen:set>
     <xen:set var="$description">{xen:helper snippet, $firstPost.message, 155}</xen:set>
     <xen:set var="$avatar">{xen:helper avatar, $thread, m, 0, 1}</xen:set>
   </xen:include></xen:container>
<xen:container var="$bodyClasses">{xen:helper nodeClasses, $nodeBreadCrumbs, $forum}{xen:if {$xenOptions.selectQuotable}, ' SelectQuotable'}</xen:container>
<xen:container var="$searchBar.thread"><xen:include template="search_bar_thread_only" /></xen:container>
<xen:container var="$searchBar.forum"><xen:include template="search_bar_forum_only" /></xen:container>

<xen:require css="thread_view.css" />
<div style="float:right">
<xen:if is="{$canReply}">
  <a href="{xen:link 'threads/reply', $thread}"><input type="submit" class="button DisableOnSubmit" value="Reply" name="more_options" /></a>
</xen:if>
</div>
<xen:set var="$threadTagsHtml"><xen:if is="{$xenOptions.enableTagging} AND ({$canEditTags} OR {$thread.tagsList})">
   <xen:include template="helper_tag_list">
     <xen:map from="$thread.tagsList" to="$tags" />
     <xen:set var="$editUrl">{xen:if $canEditTags, {xen:link threads/tags, $thread}}</xen:set>
   </xen:include>
</xen:if></xen:set>

I can not tell by that code only. The thread_view.css template might have been modified, or other stuff too.

This is how it appears with the default style.



I think it would be much better if you made a post at that style ' topic for this.

 

[sross]

ok thanks

 

[wang]

ok thanks

No problem sir
