Add Posting Rules to Reply Editors

A handy little feature to offer your members is a ready link to the vB codes and smilies pages while posting. See the screenshot attached.

This is a very easy add on. There are just three (3) template edits.


Log into your ACP
Go to Styles & Templates
Style Manager
select your style on the right, choose edit templates, and GoScroll to Showthread Templates, double-click. Select showthread_quickreply, double-click.
Inside this template, scroll all the way to the bottom, and find
</script>

Beneath this, add:
<div align="center">Posting Rules: <a href="http://www.addresstoyourforum/misc.php?do=bbcode">vB code</a>: On, <a href="http://www.addresstoyourforum/misc.php?do=showsmilies">Smilies</a>: On, <a href="http://www.addresstoyourforum/misc.php?do=bbcode#imgcode">[IMG]</a> code: On, HTML code: Off</div>

Save
Obviously, you'll need to change the part in red, to the address of your forum :D
