Personal Notepad for 3.7

Basically the Personal Notepad hack for 3.6 with a security token to make it work for 3.7 and a couple of additions.

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 product to install

FEATURES

- A notepad in members' main user CP area where they can type in whatever notes they may want to take down and save them
- Notepad can be resized
- Javascript for allowing users to see when they have exceeded the character limit
- Admin CP options (turn on/off, maximum input length, liquid/fixed width, width of fixed-width notepad, usergroups allowed to use notepad, notepad location)
- No manual template edits
- Fully phrased for easy translation

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Edit the Personal Notepad options in the vBulletin options if desired. (It is automatically turned on upon installation, so if you want to start using it right away without worrying about the options, you can.)
3. If desired, edit the default message that appears for members who have not put anything into their personal notepads - search for the phrase personal_notepad_explanation in the Admin CP and edit the language of your choice.
4. There is no 4. You're done. Go inform your members of the addition.

VERSION HISTORY

4.1: Fixed a bug that caused the notepad to be resized horizontally as well as vertically, potentially stretching the page.
4.0: Added notepad location option in the Admin CP and a default message for members who have not yet edited their personal notepads. Fixed compatibility with 3.7.
3.1: Saved space in liquid-width notepad by putting character counter and textbox size changers in the same line, phrased some stuff that was forgotten and added usergroup limitations in the admin options.
3.0: Tweaks for fitting better with the look of vBulletin, cached template, Javascript counter for character limit, made notepad collapsible, added version history.
2.0: Ported to 3.6, added resizing function and admin CP options.
1.0: Initial release.

PHP Code:


		
			
 Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Oops, I made a mistake with the template and uploaded an XML file with the old one.

Download the new zip and install that one instead. Sorry about that.

Can we have it as a Tab in our Userprofile and not on a own vB-Site?

Any maybe a Link at the QuickLinks.

Thanks a lot great hack :)

Thanks for the update. I would like to suggest that when the box gets resized that it only gets resized vertically and not horizontally (Like IP.Board does) as it messes up the skin layout. Is there any way to fix that to do it that way?

I like the idea, I'm always using a notepad to save a quick piece of code or something.
I'll keep an eye on it, maybe install later :)

Great Work. I just realised I was still using the very old 3.5 version and with the recent update to vB3.7 it had stopped working. Just uninstalled and upgraded to this new version and it is working perfectly again. :)

BTW, is there any way to retain notepad text between versions? None of the members of my board had much of importance stored, but I expect some others do have and wish to retain it.

Great hack. One thing, though. When increasing the textarea's size, it overflows beyond the width of the forum. Any chance you could make the resize link only increase/decrease the height, not the width?

Boofo

I think the support is pretty well gone for this hack.

No, it's not gone. I'll look into that soon; at the moment I'm a bit busy with reinstalling my own forum which got wiped in a database crash.

The textarea resizing bug has been fixed. As only the template has been changed, you do not need to download the new version; you can just replace the contents of your personal_notepad template with this:

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">

<thead>

<tr>

<td class="tcat"><a style="float:$stylevar[right];" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('notepad');"><img id="collapseimg_notepad" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_notepad].gif" alt="" border="0"></a> $vbphrase[personal_notepad]</td>

</tr>

</thead>

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

<tr>

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

<div class="panel">

<textarea name="notepad" id="notepad" rows="7" cols="$vboptions[personal_notepad_cols]"<if condition="$vbulletin->options['personal_notepad_liquid']"> style="width:95%"</if>><if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}<else />$vbphrase[personal_notepad_explanation]</if></textarea>

<div class="smallfont" style="<if condition="$vbulletin->options['personal_notepad_liquid']">text-align:left;</if>width:95%;margin:auto"><if condition="$vbulletin->options['personal_notepad_liquid']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><phrase 1="$notepadlength" 2="$vboptions[personal_notepad_maxlength]">$vbphrase[you_have_used_x_y_characters]</phrase></span></if> <a href="#" onclick="return resize_notepad(true)">$vbphrase[increase_size]</a> <a href="#" onclick="return resize_notepad(false)">$vbphrase[decrease_size]</a><if condition="!$vbulletin->options['personal_notepad_liquid']"><br /><phrase 1="$notepadlength" 2="$vboptions[personal_notepad_maxlength]">$vbphrase[you_have_used_x_y_characters]</phrase></if>

</div>

</div>

<div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">

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

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

<input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[save_notepad]" />

</div>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table>

</form>

<script type="text/javascript">

var notepad = fetch_object('notepad');

var counter = fetch_object('notepad_charcounter');



function checklength() {

   if (notepad.value.length > {$vbulletin->options['personal_notepad_maxlength']}) {

      counter.className = "highlight";

   }

   else {

      counter.className = "";

   }

   counter.innerHTML = notepad.value.length;

}



function resize_notepad (add) {

   if (add) {

      notepad.rows += 5;

   }

   else {

      notepad.rows -= 5;

   }

   return false;

}



notepad.onkeyup = checklength;

<if condition="!$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']">notepad.onfocus = function() { notepad.innerHTML = ""; notepad.onfocus = ""; };</if>

checklength();

</script>

Datas are stored inside the Table of the current DB thru the <installcode>....</installcode> Code as below... :)

HTML Code:

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usertextfield ADD notepad TEXT");]]></installcode>

The following Code removes the DB Table if you decide to remove that hack...

HTML Code:

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usertextfield DROP notepad");]]></uninstallcode>

I take it that when you install this mod, it over writes the other one for 3.6, correct?

Installing Codes is easier as you think. You can do it yourself :)

The Product Code is being overwritten from its old version. This means the Settings and all Plugins. The Template Code too. Unless you have changed the Template. If so you have to revert the Template "personal_notepad". That's it ;) -Mike

Not sure I understand this comment as I've been administering vBulletin forums for nearly 2 years now. I've installed well over 100 plug-ins...

Thanks. That's the information I was looking for. I had already installed it, but I wanted to make sure it was overwriting the old code completely since it's technically a different mod from the 3.6 one.

That's it what I didn't understand. Because you wrote this...

So I thought you need someone who can install this Modification for you. Probably I've messed up something, just because English isnt my first Language ;)

07-01-2008 12:44 PM

Ahhh....

That's not meaning when you as in 'YOU', but rather when 'you' as in the person installing the modification...me, or the next person that comes along to install it on their own forum.

You as in 'someone'...

07-01-2008 06:47 PM

Aha. Learn something new every day. Never thought that this one is so complex. Thanks for clarifying, Jan :)

Question... Is there anyway I can get the initial greeting text to parse html?
Kinda like the simple code below... Perhaps even a fancy image of the text below...? Please say yes :D

Code:

<strong>Welcome to your Personal Notepad.  You can store whatever text you like up to the 1,000,000 allowed character limit.

<br /><br />

Inspired after reading an interesting piece?  Make a note in your Personal Notepad, perhaps it shall help develop your own writing.

<br /><br />

You are the only person who can see what's in your Personal Notepad, so go wild and enjoy!

Ooops DUH! Can't use html in textarea.... hmm.... Is there a way? I don't think so....
OK - I stop talking to myself now. LOL

Thanx again for share.
