The phpBB posts Replies extension
is quite ready to be installed as example into this forum at axew3.com

The deletion of posts within the db table that contain posts replies ids is auto cleaned each time a post or topic is deleted via any of the available phpBB option.
The management of the whole thing is done using default and native phpBB event listeners, the unique file edited to get the correct result for the viewtopic screen, is the viewtopic.php file, because there is no available hook listener in phpBB that allow to do a particular trick that is required to be applied.
The code addition is composed by just 8 lines of code.

There is an addition more to add, that's about when a reply on post is the required post to be viewed: it should display without having to click the See replies, link and instead opening the topic and post's replies.

Any other feature works fine already as it is on the linked example.

The phpBB posts Replies extension has been completed about the concept and it work fine.
Entire posts insertion/delete operations is an automatic and very lite routine properly executed only when necessary.
It remain to make it look like better, but substantially
it works like a charm and will be installed also into this main forum soon.

Hello ladies and gentleman :D
It seem that i am quite excited to present...
This is the new Posts Replies extension for phpBB.
It is possible to reply on posts as more like and any feature can be added, or the look changed into anything with easy:
the important thing is that the extension work fine and what as been maybe thought as impossible because too hard to do, is here now.
Not completed about some aspect (also test/buttons look will be little improved, and elements may moved elsewhere?) but fully working, i am excited to present the result to you! It is so light, a very short code, using native phpBB event listeners functions and just a db table to record posts ids.
It is incredibly fast and non-intrusive.

If you like to test it, just register on fly (no activation required, no moderation for the first post) and look how it is possible to reply into posts like on Discourse. I am quite sure you'll like this new feature!

The Vertical views extension, also, will be soon improved to be amazing ... really you never have think that it is possible, to have phpBB doing same things like Discourse, and even better!? Wow! Here we go then ;)
(we'll aim to make it like social posts, on next version, at moment it works just like Discourse replies)

I'm pretty excited to present the (still not complete under an unique aspect, that will be fixed, but fully working) result that will be presented into an online phpBB here into this same site.

As said, i think that many will find it something amazing .... well, please do not look at moment to the result about buttons that are merely markup easily adjustable. Look instead that the awesome light extension, will let work your phpBB, like it is on Discourse.

Also, note that i do not know if Discourse can manage things like a post on Twitter or Facebook, so multiple replies on replies of replies.
Since the logic of the done, is practically the same, adding (i think, but i have to code it after i have figured out in mind how to, but i know it is quite easy now) few lines of code more.
As first version, it will allow only replies to posts, and not replies to replies of the replies of the replies (but i will code for challenge also this version, maybe as option).
Replies will be shown onclick, the joke about Hide when are loaded have still not applied... also maybe the text
Post's replies will be changed into Show replies maybe, and the entire way to display those buttons/actions links, and can changed as more like in minutes, so it will be done after all the most important works as it need to be.
Stay tuned lovely people!

phpBB replies on posts

After the vertical views prototype extension, that will be improved as possible, i would like to follow with another extension that seem to be very useful: replies on posts. Then the two will be packed as one (do you like discourse style?)
I just gave it a try on fly, setting up an extension prototype that display replies for posts based into a very simple concept, that let phpBB use all his native functions so to have (i hope) an incredible and not expected result.
I liked to do this done without disrupting phpBB himself, and instead having it doing all the dirty job.
Just probably discovered an unexpected way, which i am sure you'll love.

Stay tuned cool people, it should be awesome!
