Glad it's all sorted for you. :)

Hi everyone,

Today brings version 1.0.2 od Draft Posts and is available download. This update fixes some minor bugs as well as an issue with styling for users with no inline moderation permissions. To solve this problem a new StyleVar has also been introduced which can be adjusted to fix the issue on custom styles.

Thanks to everyone who keeps posting ideas for the mod, and those dedicated users who make sure we can identify and solve the bugs within the product.

The full change log is here:

Fixed: Missing cached templates.
Fixed: Issue with Reply with Draft Button overlapping the Reply button when normal users are browsing a thread.
Feature: New StyleVar to fix the spacing gap for the Reply with Draft Button.

@DragonByte Tech,
this is an excellent mod!

my team and i, use it a lot.
i miss only one feature and i would be very happy to see it included in future release.
i need to:
create a draft post (or many) and then i want this draft post to be copied to some usergroups (and every user of these usergroups can have it in their existing draft area), so these usergroups users can use it to create a specific type of threads.
if this is possible, the result will be for my users to create easily complicated posts.
posts with too many bbcodes, tables etc.

is this possible?

thank you again @DragonByte Tech for this perfect (for me at least) mod :)

Hmmm, just realized I'd not seen your post. Sorry for the delayed response. There is already something like that that DragonByte have, called Post Templates. Is that the sort of thing you are wanting? If it's not quite what you need, I will have a look at what we can do to expand Draft Posts to fit in with your needs. :)

Matt

it looks like the "post templates" is what i was exactly looking for. thank you very much :)

Thank you for the great mod! Btw, I have a little issue in my template.
Can you please take a look?

Inside the post, appears fine:

But inside the forum appears weird:

Im the only one with this issue?
How to fix this?

Thanks!

Sorry for the long wait for a reply... the thread got marked as read before we saw yours...

To answer your question, the StyleVar: dbtech_draftposts_reply_spacer is what you will need to adjust. Adjusting that value will bring the draft post higher up both the showthread and forumdisplay page (by the looks of the screenshot, the showthread is lower than it should be).

Let me know if that helps. Try a few different values to adjust it and see what looks best. :)

Draft Posts 1.0.4

Hi everyone,

Released a bug fix (v1.0.4) for Draft Posts to fix an issue with guests seeing options to save as a draft when guests can post threads.

Fixed: Option to save post as a Draft for usergroups without permissions.

Changed Files:
/dbtech/draftposts/hooks/process_templates_complete.php
/dbtech/draftposts/hooks/global_start.php

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

Man, I love your stuff, this is great! :D The only issue I'm having is that when the draft is loaded, it's loaded as raw HTML instead of bbcode...is this supposed to happen?

Edit: Just realised there's also a styling issue:

Hmmm, interesting. Can you tell me what settings you've got for your posting permissions? Do you allow HTML? You got a link I can check it out from? If so can you PM me the details so I can look at it?

Glad you like the mod. :)

Matt

I've tried posting with HTML allowed and not allowed but it makes no difference. I haven't got a link as I had to disable the mod as the posts looked weird with it enabled. :(

I've attached an image for the HTML thing.

Very strange indeed. Have you posted the same bug at DBTech? Trying to work out if its the same bug with two different users or the same user.

I'll take a look at this and see what I can find. Can you tell me what other mods you have running, what version of vB you are using and whether you have any custom styles? :)

Thanks for reporting the bug. :)

No, I haven't posted it at DBTech but I can if it will make it easier to debug? I have so many other mods running, including extra threadfields and advanced forums from provb.org. I'm using vB 4.2 and have tried with the default style.

Thanks angeljs, I'm looking into this to find a fix. Keep an eye out here for a fix when I get one sorted. :)

Matt

Will do mate, thanks :D

Posted a hotfix to sort this. Just reupload the files. No need to reimport the XML. :)

Let me know if you have any more issues.

Matt

Thanks, but still the same styling and editor problems :(

I'll check out the issue again. I've had another similar report back that I've not been able to reproduce on my install. I assume when you say 'styling' you are only referring to the HTML problem?

Matt

If you look at a few posts up I posted 2 images, one with the HTML issue and one with the show post styling issue. Once your mod is disabled the styling is fine.

Can you PM me a link to your site so I can see the styling issues myself? It might be something I need to provide a solution directly in the mod, or pass on the changes you may need to make manually if you are working from a customized layout (which if you can mentioned if your style is customized would be helpful).

Thanks for keeping me up to date with the bugs. :)

Matt

The styling problem is also there in the default theme, but I've disabled the mod so don't have a link. :(

Thanks for letting us know matey. Still working on this. :)

Matt

Hi everyone,

Released a bug fix (v1.0.5) for Draft Posts to finally fix the issue with HTML showing up in some saved Draft Posts.

Fixed: Fixed HTML Errors

Changed Files:
/dbtech/draftposts/hooks/newthread_post_start.php
/dbtech/draftposts/hooks/newpost_process.php
/dbtech/draftposts/hooks/global_start.php

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

Unfortunately, both issues are still there for me, sorry mate :(

As you can see with the view post issue, it appears to clash with your Activities mod.

Very strange. Can you PM me your website details and an account? I'll take a look. We don't get the same clashing on our site which is puzzling.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with bugs and problems. :)

Matt

PS, can you confirm the HTML issue is there when creating new Drafts?

PM sent. Yes, the HTML issue is still there. :(

Thanks.

I've been looking into it when I've had chance, taking another look this week to see if I can figure out what's causing the problem.

Matt

Just wondered if you had a chance to look into this yet :)

I have had a couple of looks at it without finding the right solution, but will take another look again. Had my hands full of late working on DragonByte Classifieds. :)

No problem, I know you're busy. Classifieds sounds interesting! :)

I know you're still busy with classifieds etc., but I'd really love to get this to work. :)

Hi everyone,

Released a minor update (v1.0.6) for Draft Posts to introduce a setting to allow users to remove the text from the postbit Draft this Post button.

Additions To Product From Feature Requests Or Just Something Else Added:
Feature: Setting to allow the text to be removed from the Draft this Post button in the postbit.

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

Hi,
I just installed this mod on our board but I have the same problem as already described in post #46.https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/12/18.jpg
I now want to change the Stylevar: dbtech_draftposts_reply_spacer as mentioned but I'm not as good in this coding as I obviously should.
I would like to get the button next to the Reply button but to be honest I don't really know where to start.
I hope you can help me.


EDIT:

I found the code to add on your forum. Now everything works fine.

Running vBulletin 4.1.3pl8..

Downloaded and installed v1.06 of this mod for testing.

Enabled under usergroup for Admin only at this point. (me)

I'm not sure what is wrong, but I don't see any option to select a draft when creating a new thread?

Regards,
Doug

Update: Besides under "Reply to Thread", I found the other "Post with Draft" button at the bottom of the forumdisplay list. Of course when I try to use it, a thread can't be created there, because it's just a list of all forums, not the threads within a forum. When I select and switch to an actual forum that can be posted to and check the bottom to create a new thread with a stored draft, the "Post with Draft" button isn't there. In other words, the "Post with Draft" is appearing at the wrong level under a display forum names and not under the display of threads within a forum.

Edit: Tested.. thanks to the author for developing it... uninstalled as we couldn't get it to work on our site.
