Hi, sure, i would love to assist you.

I assume that you are using cpanel for maintaing your webhosting account. Please following the steps carefully.

1. Please loginto your cpanel account.

2. Go to My Sql database maintenance.

3. Towards the bottom click "phpmyadmin" link.

4. You will be shown the databases that you are using to run your website.

5. Now select the database where you have installed your forums.

6. In the right hand side. you will see a tab called SQL.

7. Click on it and it will ask to cut and paste the contents of drafts.sql OR you can simply provide the path to draft.sql in the relevant option just below the above cut-paste screen.

8. After pasting or selecting, click GO buttom and you are done as far as drafts.sql part is concerned.

Enjoy !!

PS: I am posting this message in the relevant thread so that other learned people can guide you even better. Regards

Awesome, thanks!

One question, when modifying the pmnew_pm template, your instructions ask to look for:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

but all I have in there is:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

Same thing?

Hi

Yes it is the same thing, (button wise. The only thing that is different is the $vbphrase, yours uses 'preview_message', my example (install example) uses 'preview_post'! So both are the same but what the button will display!


So yes do the Find and Replace based on your button!

Like so

Find => in 'pm_newpm'

Replace with => in 'pm_newpm'

Sonia,

Hi! I installed everything, but I can't see the save draft button on my replies. I'm logged on as admin (where it's on by default) but there's nothing there. Heeeeeelllllpppp!!!!

<i>Hi! I installed everything, but I can't see the save draft button on my replies. I'm logged on as admin (where it's on by default) but there's nothing there. Heeeeeelllllpppp!!!!</i>

Hi

What I mean in the install is that Admin permissions are setup to allow for full access to the Draft System. But even admin permissions are not loaded into the vB cache by default so read below to update the vB permissions cache! This is explained in the file 'after_install.txt', but I guess I did not explain it very well. I will update that file now!

Go to 'usergroups' and reload the groups so that the new permissions are added to the vBulletin permission cache! vBulletin uses a cache on permissions!

Follow me...

Go to >> Admin Panel!

Left menu >> click on 'Usergroups', Usergroups opens!!

click on 'Usergroup Manager', Usergroup Manager opens!!

now click on the 'Go' button for group 'Administrators'

User Group Manager (user group 6 => Administrators) opens!

Go all the way to the bottom of that page and find the button 'Update'

Click on that 'button => Update' to reload the permissions cache!

After everything will be shown on your forum for the Administrator group!

Today I am writing a full detailed help file that will list all the settings
and will give examples of setting up different groups with different
access right, please check back later for that. It will help you better
to understand what each option does!

The user group permissions (Help) already have details about each option
and what it does in relationship to other options in the Save Drafts
permissions group! But many have asked me to write a full detailed list
of examples of different groups so they can get a better understanding
what each permission option does!

I am almost done with this and will have it done today, so check back later
for that download!

Needed only if downloaded zip before 8:44 AM March 12, 2005)

It was reported that if the New Post folder is filled and someone wants to Save a draft in their New PM folder that is not filled, they can not access the Save Draft button to save the New PM. This only effects groups that have (#) limit on messages that they can be saved!


Fix! (file => ./private.php)

Find in => private.php

replace With


// end fix


Sonia

Sonia, can you please get back to me. I didn't receive your email and for some reason PM' s no longer work to your account?

Thank you.

Sonia

Please note I have taken the hack we discussed to another developer as you seem to be to busy to respond currently.

Hack worked. It's brilliant.

When will we see the spell check hack, Sonia?

One week, 5 days max, wait till you see the admin panel options it will have! It just won the Spell Checking Shoot Out (PC MAG), *fastest spell checker on the planet*, I just found out today!
