Personal Notepad

This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board, and which existed for vBulletin 2 as vBPad. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.

1 template edit
1 product to install

Time to install: 1-2 minutes, depending on how fast you can install one product, copy-paste and find something in a template after being tipped about where in the template it is

FEATURES

- Not much in the way of features for something like this... it's just a little personal notepad in the form of a textarea that people can type things into which is shown below all the information about new PMs/subscriptions/etc. in the User CP main page.

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Make one template edit:

In template USERCP

FIND near the bottom of the template

Code:

<!-- ############## END NEW REPUTATION ##############  -->

</if>

BELOW it add

Code:

<form name="personalnotepad" method="post" action="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">

<table class="tborder" width="100%" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">

<tr>

<td class="tcat" align="center">$vbphrase[personal_notepad]</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="alt1" align="center">

<textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="45">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="alt2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[save_notepad]" /></td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

3. There is no 3. You're done. Go edit your personal notepad. And inform your members what this strange box that just appeared in their user CP is.

VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.1: Fixed small mistake that made the notepad get run twice through htmlspecialchars_uni (basically turning all HTML codes into a garble of < and > ).
Version 1.0: Initial release.

EDIT:OK I can tell it works fine

will try it. Thanks.

I didn't think I'd really need screens for this, since what it does is extremely straightforward, but I'll put one up if you want.

I like this! However, I am going to wait until vB 3.6 is released

nice hack i click install ^^
the product are cancel??

Small fix to let users store HTML codes without them getting messed up. Sorry about the product disappearing for a second.

any way to spiff it up a little? like how to make it match the width of the box it is in?

There doesn't appear to be any way to make a textarea match the width of the box around it exactly. width="100%" doesn't do anything. So I'm afraid that's not possible.

Please add the instructions from the first post into a text file and ZIP it up with the XML for those that may need to re-install sometime. ;)

Zip file done and attached.

We need screens. And pictures of puppies.

Puppies :- :D

Thanks for the Plugin :)

Fine. :P

*adds screenshot*

I've got a kitty pic too, if you want to be really picky.

The members may not know what to do with this or how to get benefit, so maybe you can add a little description text to it appears when they hover on Personal Notepad.

I found this:

Code:

<td class="alt1" align="center">

<textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="45">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" /></td>

And changed it to this:

Code:

<textarea name="notepad" rows="12" cols="80">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>

Here is a screenshot and no the forum width isn't messed up :

Installed. Great hack - should be extremely useful on my writing forum.

Interesting. It doesn't stretch the table cell around it at all, you say?

Hmm, never knew that. *mental note*

Stop, you can add a description if you want just above the textarea or something. Try something like finding

Code:

<textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="45">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>

in the template and adding above it something in the direction of

Code:

<div class="smallfont">Your personal notepad can store anything you can think of: notes, memos, half-finished posts, image URLs, quotes you like... Just type it in, save, and access it again here anytime you want.</div>

That's just a description made-up on the spot, so by all means edit it (if you have a board in multiple languages, by all means phrase it too), but that's all you'd have to do. Might add it as a hack feature, but this will have to do for now.

Installed
Working Properly but sir i have problem
i also installed this hack too [https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=112594]

when i turn on Member Profile in UserCP Home hack personal notepad goes off
when i turn off Member Profile in UserCP Home its showing up

please solve this problem

That hack replaces the USERCP template (which is what you edited for this hack) with another template, USERCP_PLUS, so the problem is simply that USERCP_PLUS is what you should be editing instead of USERCP. :) Admittedly, this makes your User CP home page so big that if I were you, I'd probably put the personal notepad at the top of the page instead of at the bottom - in fact, I'd take the whole thing from this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['privatemessages']">

<!-- ############## PRIVATE MESSAGES ##############  -->

to this

Code:

<!-- ############## END NEW REPUTATION ##############  -->

</if>

and move it to the top of it, placing the personal notepad below what I just moved. But that's just what I would do - I just think new subscriptions and PMs belong in a more prominent place than at the very bottom of that very large template.

Not on my forum.Now if I put this above 80 It will stretch the page out.

Code:

cols="80">

very nice hack ! installed ！ thank you ^^

just wonder... is it possible to use AJAX when save the content in the personal notepad ?

moreover, are there words limited ?

Thanks
its working now

Ah, then you probably just hit the right number of cols. You can't make any assumptions about all forums out there, so I'm not going to put that into the hack by default...

carrie31, there is no word limit - well, perhaps the sky-high one set by the database, but that's barely a limit.

As for AJAX, yes, it almost definitely is possible, but the problem is that I don't know AJAX, at least not at the moment. Might start messing around with it soon, though. :p

Quoting my self !!!

Isn?t this better to use the collapse funktion?

Code:

<!-- ############## START NOTEPAD ##############  -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<thead>

<tr>

<td class="tcat" colspan="7">

$vbphrase[personal_notepad]<span class="normal"></span>

</td>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody id="collapseobj_notepad" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_notepad]">

<tr>

<td class="alt1" align="center" colspan="7">

<form name="personalnotepad" method="post" action="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">

<textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="75">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="alt2" align="center" colspan="7"><input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[save_notepad]" /></td>

</form>

</tbody>

</table>

<br />

<!-- ############## END NOTEPAD ##############  -->

for me it look nice!

evesve, good idea. I'll add collapsing to the next version of this.

<div align="center">:surprised:
Sorry but I didn't see it though I checked the thread 4 times.
Anyway,I would love to see this added to the next version.
Thanks.</div>

Yeah, I probably will add it. I think I have a thing for releasing hacks with no user instructions included...

I agree.I have another vB which I just set up and added it to it.It worked the same way with or without forum width code for me.Well, It's here in this thread if they want to try it.Thank you again.This hack is useful.I have already had 4 or 5 members tell me how glad they are that I added it.

Odd. I edited usercp with the added code, saved and plugin uploaded/enabled yet I see nothing in the user area.

Are you sure you edited it in all your styles?

Actually I found it. I was subscribed to about 300 threads and the notepad was burried under the big list :)

Thanks

Thank you very much!

Also is it possible to change the content message size to "smallfont"?

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to set a limit for the contents of this Notepad?

Example: 1,000 words.

Because, someone may write lots of words which may damage the SQL!

I like this! I always lost so many in my Clipboard with copy and re-copy.
Now I save temporary in this cool notepad :)
