phpBB like Discourse (temp post into this forum)

Post by axew3 »

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!

This is a temporary topic and it will be soon removed from this forum.

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 ;)

I'm surprised because this extension isn't new. I'm using it in my board as well! It makes things easier.

It's not an extionsion but one of the core features of phpBB. You can enable it in the ACP, unter the "General" tab click the "Board features" link and look for "Allow quick reply".

I also recommend to use https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/quickedit/

I assume that you do not have understand the meaning of the extension (because i am bad on explain) or it is a feature obscure to me into phpBB;
this extension allow to reply to a post, that's a reply into a topic (like it is on Discourse possible)
check the Show replies text link on the left/bottom of the first reply into this page:
