vB Drafts
 
Modification currently on hold for some major bugfixing.

vB Drafts adds a feature to temporarily save posts, threads and private messages that have not been submitted, allowing members to return to their unpublished submissions later on and continue writing where they left off.

Drafts can be periodically saved automatically or saved manually, with either option restricted to certain usergroups. Drafts can also be restricted to just posts, threads quick replies or private messages, or to specified fora and/or usergroups.

The system allows for as many drafts as you could need. Each member gets 1 post draft per thread, 1 thread draft per forum, 1 PM draft per private message and 1 for a new PM.

vB Drafts use AJAX, so saving a draft is as good as invisible. Either one click for manual saving or just a subtle, brief notification when a draft is saved automatically. For automated saving, the admin has full control over how often saves are performed.

Restoring a draft is even more invisible. Simply return to where you were writing and the draft will be there waiting for you.

vB Drafts for 3.8 is a mostly unchanged update of the older version with a few minor bugfixes and improvements, plus new support for private message quick replies.

Installation instructions
1. Extract the contents of the download file to your computer.
2. Upload the file in the product folder via the Product Manager at AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product].
3. Upload the contents of the uploads folder to the equivalent location in your forum on your server. The directory structure within the download file is the same as your forum. So includes/cron/drafts.php goes in your forum's cron directory, etc.
4. Perform the file edit described below if you want Quick Reply drafts.
5. The options for vB Drafts are in the main vBulletin Options menu.
6. Done!

Upgrade instructions
1. Uninstall the vB Drafts product file ensuring that the option to delete saved drafts is set to Yes in the vB Drafts menu. All saved drafts must be deleted for the upgrade.
2. Follow the instructions for a new installation.

Uninstallation instructions
1. Uninstall the vB Drafts product file ensuring that the option to delete saved drafts is set to Yes in the vB Drafts menu. All saved drafts must be deleted for the upgrade.
2. Delete /clientscript/drafts.js.
3. Delete includes/cron/drafts.php.
4. Done!




File edits
For file edits, you will need to edit the original files that vBulletin was shipped with. Make your changes in an appropriate editor (anything that does not use formatting like MS Word will do) and then upload the files to your server, overwriting the existing files.

The file edit is only necessary if you intend to use autosaving with Quick Reply.

In file clientscript/vbulletin_quick_reply.js:
FIND:
PHP Code:

vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].write_editor_contents(""

REPLACE WITH:
PHP Code:

    // vB Drafts
        // Old
    // vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].write_editor_contents("")
    // vB Drafts 


This file edit is only necessary if Quick Reply requires a click.

FIND:
PHP Code:

vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].enable_editor(""); 

REPLACE WITH:
PHP Code:

    // vB Drafts
    // Old:
    // vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].enable_editor("");

    // New:
       
if (typeof(asId) == 'undefined')
       {
           
vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].enable_editor('');
       }
       else
       {
           
// Agonising, painful, horrific way to replace the QR message + draft with just draft
           
if (vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].wysiwyg_mode)
           {
               
asSplit vbphrase['click_quick_reply_icon'].split('<br /><br />');
           }
           else
           {
               
asSplit vbphrase['click_quick_reply_icon'].split('\n\n');
           }            
           
asSplit[0] = '';
           
vbphrase['click_quick_reply_icon'] = asSplit.join('');
           
vB_Editor[QR_EditorID].enable_editor(vbphrase['click_quick_reply_icon']);
        } 
    
// vB Drafts 




Template edits
You should not have to make any template edits, the modification will do it for you. But if you find that the draft button or other aspects of the modification are not showing up correctly, it means you'll have to perform some or all of the template edits manually. They are described below.

In SHOWTHREAD
FIND:
Code:

id="qr_submit" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:

id="qr_submit" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" /> <input onclick="draftsave();" type="button" class="button" name="draft" value="$vbphrase[draft_save_as_draft]" accesskey="d" tabindex="1" />
FIND:
Code:

id="qr_preview" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:

id="qr_preview" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" /> <div id="draft_saving" style="display:none;margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;"><img id="draft_saving_img" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" class="inlineimg" border="0" alt="" /> <strong>$vbphrase[draft_saving_draft_please_wait]</strong></div>


In newreply
FIND:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" /> <input onclick="draftsave();" type="button" class="button" name="draft" value="$vbphrase[draft_save_as_draft]" accesskey="d" tabindex="1" />
FIND:
Code:

REPLACE WITH:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" /> <div id="draft_saving" style="display:none;margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;"><img id="draft_saving_img" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" class="inlineimg" border="0" alt="" /> <strong>$vbphrase[draft_saving_draft_please_wait]</strong></div>



In newthread
FIND:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" /> <input onclick="draftsave();" type="button" class="button" name="draft" value="$vbphrase[draft_save_as_draft]" accesskey="d" tabindex="1" />
FIND:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" /> <div id="draft_saving" style="display:none;margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;"><img id="draft_saving_img" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" class="inlineimg" border="0" alt="" /> <strong>$vbphrase[draft_saving_draft_please_wait]</strong></div>



In pm_newpm
FIND:
Code:

REPLACE WITH:
Code:

FIND:
Code:

REPLACE WITH:
Code:

value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="r" name="preview" tabindex="1" /> <div id="draft_saving" style="display:none;margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;"><img id="draft_saving_img" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" class="inlineimg" border="0" alt="" /> <strong>$vbphrase[draft_saving_draft_please_wait]</strong></div>



In pm_showpm
FIND:

cool - ill be trying this out a lil later - definately something which should come in extremely useful for all users

Capper5016 02-27-2009 02:16 PM

Still not working in Firefox. Works fine in IE.

Also, when clicking "Go Advanced", the SAVE DRAFT button only appears at the bottom, under additional options, would it be better placed in the "Reply to thread" box toward the top? Its just my thinking, but people may not know its there unless they scroll down.

Looks extremely useful.

I forgot to mention, the file edits are different this time around. If you've done the file edit before, both parts will have to be done again.

If it still doesn't work, tell me specifically where and doing what.

When a draft is recalled its got
Code:

<P></P>
all over the place.

I need to know your post editor type and where the draft is being saved/restored, as well as the saved text itself or some that produces the same effect.

Followed the directions, didnt have to edit any templates.

Everything is as it should be, works perfectly in IE7 & 8, and everything looks fine in FF.....but the text doesnt appear in the editor after saving a draft, but the notice is there that the draft is saved and available til _____.

Could you PM me an admin login to your forum please, it was developed on Firefox so I'm not sure what's going on.
