The code is the same for both Wacintaki and Wax, though you'd have to add/remove some styling to get it to look right.  You should ask for permission to use the code, first, so I'd go ahead and ask SFox8 for help.

The way it works is that there is an additional comment box added to each comment, and it is styled so it is invisible.  Some extra JavaScript is also added to "Poteto.js".  When you click the "Quick Comment" button, JavaScript is used to make the comment box appear (additionally, with some more work, it makes all the other comments disappear).  The comment box simply sends data to "comment.php" just like the normal comment screen would.  So, it's not necessary to modify the "functions.php" file.  Only the "index.php" and "Poteto.js" files have to be updated.  It's pretty easy to do, but you have to know where to insert the code.  If you do a "View Source" on the index, you can see the comment box code on each comment.  If you read the JavaScript source directly, you can also see all the additional script added.

The problem with the code as they have it is that the code is directly integrated into the index file, and is not inserted using the DOM.  That means a bit more bandwidth usage, you have to know what you are doing to add the code to the index, and every time the index file is updated in future versions means you will have to update everything again (not like Wacintkai 1.3.14 will be out any day now, of course ).

Good Lord.  Whatever CAPTCHA they are using on the oevista forums obviously isn't working. 

Anyway, it's just good practice to ask, but code also has to be inserted directly into the index file, so it's easy to mess things up.  SFox8 should be able to help you with that, or maybe direct you to those mod instructions if they are still buried in the forum somewhere.

I've contacted Sfox8 on DeviantArt AND I've emailed him, but no luck. :c And Oevista.org isn't up anymore.

Is there no other way to get the quick comment code?

I know this thread is dead but i don't want to give up on the quick comment code. I am just a newbie to coding and i really have no idea what i am doing, so im hoping maybe someone can help me out!

Heres a code i started which does not have the ability to send the comment but it does created a text input + submit button, pretty useless but its a start

<div id="contentmain">
<p align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="" class="infotable">
            <table class="infomain">
            <tr>
            <td class="infoask" valign="top"><form name="formComment" method="post" action="functions.php">
        <input name="action" type="hidden" value="<?=$mode;?>" />
        <input name="picno" type="hidden" value="<?=$resno;?>" />


<textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="60" rows="5" class="multiline"></textarea>
</font>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="post" value="Submit" class="submit" />
(<a href="#" onClick="openWindow('niftyusage.php', 500, 300); return false">NiftyToo Usage</a>)




</form>
</td>

</tr>
</table>
</p>
</div>
        </div>
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
<?
        } else {
            // Vertical
            ?>
        </div>
<?
        }
        ?>

i put this right above the  <!-- /Commentmain --> part of the "index.php" file in the /oekaki folder
i am completely stumped. i do not know how to make these comments send
also tried this code

<p align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="" class="infotable">

<form name="form1" method="post" action="functions.php">

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="picno" value="" />

<input type="hidden" name="pageno" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="add" />
<input type="hidden" name="datatype" value="" />
</p>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2">

<tr>
<td>



<textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="60" rows="5" class="multiline"></textarea>
</font>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="post" value="Submit" class="submit" />
(<a href="#" onClick="openWindow('niftyusage.php', 500, 300); return false">NiftyToo Usage</a>)




</form>
</td>

</tr>
</table>
</p>
</div>

in the same section an i still got nothing
feel free to edit this code

any help would be appreciated, i have tried contacting sfox8 but seems unresponsive, also oevista.org is down

Just letting everyone know that I actually have the code and have tested it with 1.3.4 (didn't really need any modification). I'll have it sometime within the next couple days.

Hey guys! I'm back again after another few months of hiatus (again, sorry, LIFE has pretty much taken over my life haha)

But anyway, after taking FOREVER and a day, I finally had a chance to compile all code together into a nice little zip for everyone.

I know it's late and people have probably already figured out an alternative by now but here it is for those who don't have it yet.

Note: There are no actual php files in here. There are two text files (one RTF and one txt). The InstallGuide will guide you through the installation, telling you which files to open, what to add/modify, etc.

I followed the guide myself and tested it. Everything checked out on my end but if you have any problems, let me know. The various ways to contact me are included in the InstallGuide as well as the ReadMe.

You can download the zip here: http://oekaki.oevista.org/mods/QuickCommWacPoteto.zip

Funny thing is, there really isn't much that's unique about this code. Really, all it is is a dirty hack that I did back when I started OeVista. I'm sure there's a much better way of doing this now, but coding has somewhat taken a backseat to my current hobbies and obligations. Feel free to modify anything to suit your own board.
