When you set banner and after that you delete it (delete text of banner), when you than click to save, it show error "Please enter valid banner text".
So, how to delete old banner text except make it not active?

 

[Xon]

Whoops, oversight. I think the XF1 version is doing that as well

 

[Sunka]

Also, can we change background of banner?
What is it unique class to change that in extra less?

Xon updated Thread Reply Banner with a new update entry:

2.0.1 - Bugfix update

• Remove requirement that a banner has to have text, allowing the banner text to be deleted to deactivate the banner.
• Add a unique css class to wrap the banner; "thread-reply-banner"

Can someone give me examples of how this would be used? So is the first post simply duplicated and anchored to the reply areas? I can see how this would be useful for warnings and reminders, but simply duplicating the first post, I'm having a hard time thinking of good uses for that.

 

[Xon]

It doesn't duplicate the post, the screenshot was just demonstrating how it look.

On my forums we use this to notify users of thread policy and tell them to behave before replying

There are some issues, similar to what happened with @XenConcept User Activity before he upgraded his resource.
On UI.X based themes,
- the thread reply banner is being duplicated in the titlebar


- while browsing on a mobile device the duplicated banner is shown as an overlay, making unable to see the thread content.


- the reply banner is not wrapped (on mobile devices), right above quick reply

@Xon If you do not already have a copy of UI.X I can get you set up with a free license. Otherwise if you'd prefer you can send me a copy of Thread Reply Banner and I can try and figure out why the template modification is targeting the titlebar. If I had to take a quick guess, I would assume that the issue may lie with the fact that we add an <xfageaction /> to thread_view in the titlebar.

That would be great but it may be a bit of time before I can organised that on my-end todo anything about it.

This is a free add-on available on my github profile; https://github.com/Xon/XenForo2-ThreadReplyBanner I accept pull requests

I'm fairly busy, so if you could have a look that would be great. I know the css/html was a quick & dirty job, and I've got a vague idea on the issue.

Could you also see if my User Activity add-on causes issues? https://github.com/Xon/XenForo2-UserActivity/tree/2.1.x Note; master should be workable but it isn't feature complete compared to User Activity for XF 1.6.x

 

[Ian Hitt]

Unfortunately, add-ons are not my forte personally, I am a UI developer But I can try and find the offending template modification so that it is easier for you to resolve the issue. If you do not already, feel free to create an account at https://www.themehouse.com/ and then PM me with your username and I will add a UI.X 2 license to your account.

You have @CMTV's QuestionThreads add-on?

This is a bug in their add-on, where they have re-defined setupThreadCreate as public instead of the original protected. Not this add-on

 

[Pinn]

Yes, Thanks!

Thanks for the info!
This is fixed (among many other bugs) in a new upcoming update.

 

[loplo]

@Xon did you manage to look into the issue reported in post #8?

 

[CMTV]

@loplo, yes! It is fixed in 2.0.

 

[loplo]

There was no update since I reported the issue.

 

[CMTV]

I am sorry. Thought you were talking about this post and didn't even notice that you are asking a different person...

 

[Xon]

@Xon did you manage to look into the issue reported in post #8?

I am waiting for a dev licence that @Ian Hitt mentioned to be able to provide so I can reproduce the compatibility issue. But I haven't had time to chase it up.
