Default PM Subject Line

I made a little 2 line hack (I guess you could almost call it that) that will input a default subject line in a new PM. I always get tired of having to redo all of my new PMs because I preview it or try to send it and get the error that I didn't fill out all of the information. This way, it will always be there, preview or not. What I would like to ask is this: Does anyone have any good ideas for a default line that will work for the entire board? [high]Any[/high] ideas will be appreciated and welcomed.

Can't you just edit the PM templates? :confused:

I did the same thing for my forums a long time ago.

What I used as a subject when none is entered is "No subject entered". :)

@filburt1 - I thought of that, but if you do a preview private message, then it will always put the subject from the template in there (if I hardcode it that way). This way, I only have it default to a hardcoded title if there isn't one already. If you change it when writing the message, it will stay with the new title.

@ Erwin - LOL I never thought of that one. Thanks. Right now I have "Just a note to say hello" and thought about "From the desk of xxx (the username of the poster would go here).

On the forums, I have it default to "Re ; threadtitle" if there is no post title. If they change it, it will stay at the new title.

Well you could use conditionals in templates (the hack)...:)

That's true, I never even thought of that. I have Logician's hack already installed. Maybe I'll play with it and see what I can come up with. Thanks. ;)

@filburt1 - Here's what I came up with. The code in the php is only 3 small lines and this is what I need to do in the template to get the same thing. Which is better?

Quote:

[[($subject=="")]]
<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="Just a note to say hello" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="2"></normalfont></td>
[[/($subject=="")]]
[[($subject!="")]]
<td bgcolor="#13486D"><normalfont><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="2"></normalfont></td>
[[/($subject!="")]]

Actually, it can be done in the javascript in the send pm template. There is a check when the submit button is clicked. If the subject is blank, a box pops up. You can add a check right before that line so that if the title is blank, the title is set to "No Subject Entered"

I did it the PHP way as well in both private.php and private2.php, but I am pretty sure the javascript is all that is required.

You lost me here. Where would you do the check for that at? Just before the submit button? And I don't think it would work there for a private message preview, though, would it?

In priv_sendprivmsg

Find:

Code:

if (theform.touser.value=="" || theform.message.value==""|| theform.title.value=="" ) {

Code:



Add Above:

if(theform.title.value=="") {

   theform.title.value="No Subject Entered";

}

and I forgot about preview cause I never use it :D I'll go peek at that too.
