I'd like to turn this icon...

into a link that can be used to link back to this paticular post. A link simalar to this format....
quote: topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=643&REPLY_ID=3766
I believe the code to modify is ... topic.asp ...around line 580.
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(strIconPosticon,"","hspace=""3""") & ....
Perhaps someone more experienced could correct my mistakes below...Thanks!
Response.Write " " & <a href=""" & topic.asp?whichpage=-1 & TOPIC_ID=" & TopicID & " REPLY_ID= " & Reply_TopicID & "">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconPosticon,"","hspace=""3""") & "</a>" & ........

Click on this icon: 
I added a button that will automatically copy the link to your clipboard. 
Now if I could just get this to work with the permalink mod...
This is what I get when clicking the permalink icon...
Const strIconEditorTags = "icon_editor_tag.gif|23|22"
Still working on it I presume and haven't given up?

Posted - 25 July 2008 : 14:38:34 Thanks! It almost worked! I had to change the section you put in the pop_reply.asp file.
You had:
" & strForumURL & "topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID1 & "&REPLY_ID=" & Reply_ReplyID1 & "
The resulting link when copied and pasted did not take you to the reply.
However, I added this part in red and now it works fine:
" & strForumURL & "topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID1 & "&REPLY_ID=" & Reply_ReplyID1 & "
Now I just need to tweak the look of my pop up page and I think I'll be done! < |

Posted - 25 July 2008 : 13:47:43 here u go..MaD2ko0l to the rescue ;-)
ok this will be the link to use on topic.asp
and thsi is the new pop_replylink.asp
try that and see what u think..might need a little tweaking on the copy/paste url bit but it does what u more or less want< |

Posted - 25 July 2008 : 11:15:48 I'm so close... I just need a little nudge...
Please go to my test site and click this icon on a reply :
http://www.mangionemagic.com/forumbeta/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=915
The reply link does not finish. It only shows this much:
http://www.mangionemagic.com/forumbeta/topic.asp?whichpage=-1
Either my link on the icon is wrong, or the popup page is not correct.
Here is how I have the link for the icon:
This is a text version of my pop_replylink.asp page.
The topic link works just fine.< |

Posted - 24 July 2008 : 18:37:52 could u not code it into topic.asp like the php boards do, where when you refeence a certain reply it will only show that reply? because sometimes when u click a link in ie anyway...it will open in a new window and it isnt maximized, sowhen i mazimize the window it will then lose the position of the reply so i have top scroll and look for it anyway, so maybe if u coudl filter out only that reply maybe that would be better?< |

Actually, those don't work for me. I posted my problems in one of those threads. Also, they do not provide the URL for the user in an obvious way. They assume the user knows to copy what is in the address bar.
I would like to have a page pop up and show them the URL they need to use.< |

Sometimes in the forum you want to link to a particular reply and not the whole topic. Other forums do this so I was trying to get my Snitz forum to do it too. I've tried adding the reply id but it never shows. That is what I have been having problems with.< |

Posted - 24 July 2008 : 12:11:42 im just thinking about making it easy for everyone to use as not all types of people know the shortcuts or whatnot so may be confused...i know my parents arnt computer savy and dont know how to copy n paste, so putting stuff to the clipboard automatically makes sence and make its a bit more simpler for everyone.
and why cantu just use the send topic to a friend and add the reply id? but then again why dont u just link to a topic instead?
seems like you are makeing a solution to somthing that dont need 1< |

Posted - 24 July 2008 : 07:54:04 I've read that it is not good to automatically have contents copied to a users clipboard as it may erase whatever they may already have in it.
Is it just not possible to have the reply url show in a regular html or asp page? This is what I really want.< |

I think I finally got close to what I have been trying to do!
You can test it here:
http://www.mangionemagic.com/forumbeta/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=915
I'm testing two versions of this so you'll see double icons: 
Click on the second icon in any reply to see what it is doing.
Your instructions for the new option are missing an apostrophe - should say "...browser's address bar." Alternatively, you should have it AUTOMATICALLY populate the clipboard and not require the pop-up window as Mad suggested. Unfortunately, a number of browsers (and a number of operating systems/service packs) will prevent that by default (just as they do popups).< |
