I second both of these suggestions. Respect to you sir!

An admin deleted a user's shared category and template but it is still being shown to all members as if it was shared. The admin logged in as the user to do the deletions.

Is there a way for the admin to manage all the templates to delete them?

We have a mystery category and template that simply will not go away!

This seems to be working for me now, at first I didn't realise I had to go in to each usergroup to enable it and although it was already enabled by default it didn't appear in the User CP until after I had saved the settings on the usergroups.

Thanks a lot, this seems like a great mod and something I've been hunting for for ages! I'm adding some search phrases here to help other people looking for the same thing:

Vbulletin Insert text from link
Vbulletin Insert bbcode from link
Vbulletin insert text from dropdown menu

Would be nice if you could only permit certain groups to use certain defined templates (semi global templates). I could give my staff a set of defined templates for PMs/warnings/infractions, and give users a different set of defined templates.

Is this an existing feature and I am not seeing it? It appears that any "defined/global" template can be viewed by everyone, but I'm not sure I understand correctly.

Can I ask if you could include this mod in its quick reply?
Thanks for your help

Top of this page to the right, just below navbar is search this mod...it comes in handy. :eek:

Its not showing up on my USERCP, Anyone can maybe update me about this...
And where do I enable and disable the optiones, I dont seem to find it in AdminCP vBulleting Options... Any answer?

It doesn't show in usercp unless enabled withing each usergroups settings, go to each usergroup and turn it on.

Does this add on allow fields in a template ? So a user just fills in the blank fields and the template wil then post the formatting needed along with the values ?

I used this mod on my site before & it worked great, but i've just installed it on my new site & now it doesn't seem to work.
Ive created a category & template inside the category, i go to make a new post, select the template but it doesn't get added to the post. Is there a problem with the ajax loading?

I've disabled all other mods leaving just this mod, but it's the same.

Check in vbulletin options that you have ALL ajax features selected.

Thanks for your suggestion but i had ALL ajax features selected.

All the other buttons work in the WYSIWYG editor, i've even changed the editor to the basic one & it's still the same.

Is it working fine for you m8?

For those that install this and receive a database error...
Open the product,

Ah, forgot about the mysql5.5 issue :)

This is a really helpful plugin, thanks to the developer.

Any suggestions on a way in which we could have a button that inserts one specific template? Some of our mods are less technical than others so if we could have a button they could just click to insert our most used template, rather than asking them to use a dropdown menu which seems to be confusing some people, this hopefully will encourage more of them to use the post templates!

I've had a go at tinkering with the code but obviously it's not as simple as just coding a button unfortunately (or maybe it is and I'm just not understanding what I see in the code!)

Many thanks for any pointers anyone can give me :)

I realize this mod is a bit old now and the developer has not been on-line for over a year but we just installed Valter's Advanced Rules and I would like to use Post Templates to help the moderators generate reminders for rule violations.

It would work much better for me if there were a usergroup for each of the Post Template categories or if I had category permissions in addition to the global vs. private permissions now supported.

Has anyone looked at this?

I think I edited this to work that way on my 3.8 test site... I will look into it when I get in from work.
