Reply box of forum posts in the same page
The powers that be decided that they want the forum reply box to always be open in Thread view so a user can view the thread and reply in the same screen, appending the reply to the bottom of the thread instead of the ability to reply to each post at will.

We tried doing this in a few ways, but ran into trouble in the ways we tried. What would be the best way to implement this functionality?

Thanks,
Chanan

RE:Reply box of forum posts in the same page
Hi Chanan,

Well, the easiest way could be based on modifying the Thread.ascx file from the current layout which generates the thread interface (Customizing forum design). You could add a custom control to Thread.ascx which gives users the ability to reply directly in the thread page and to add a new post to the current forum thread.

More information about Forums API can be found here: Forums API


Best regards,
Michal Legen
