QuickClip - A Clipboard for Users

Introduction

QuickClip allows your members to store frequently used snippets of text that they can then quickly and easily use as replies to threads and private messages.

QuickClip is based on the familier Private Messaging interface, so will be instantly familier to your users and will help cut down support queries such as "Where is the such-and-such button?".

As the forum administrator, you can keep full control over your members QuickClips usage by limiting the number of clips and folders they can create, or even banning them from using it completly.

All of this is controlled by Usergroup access, with default settings in vBulletin Options.

Features

• Fully template driven so it will blend into the look and feel of your site
• Fully phrased, making translation to other languages a breeze
• Fully integrated with the vBulletin User CP
• New: QuickClip Reply boxes for posting your QuickClips in Threads and Private Messages
• New: An option to include your signautre when posting replies using QuickClips
• Fully controllable limits on Clips and Folders, including the option to have No Limit
• New: The ability to Preview your QuickClip before saving
• ...Plus so much more! Take a look at the screenshots below!

Thanks go to Danny.vbt for testing, to SomeName for proof-reading the Installation Guide, and for everyone who has made suggestions or helped to find bugs

My thanks goes to everyone of you who has installed QuickClip, and to those who have posted in this thread


Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!


Further Screenshots can be found in the second post

See the last section of install.html for more details

Edit: Sorry, did you mean add the moderation thing? If so, then I've no plans to add something like that to this hack at this time

Thanks for the update, i have still installed the product and i guess i'll just enable this for Administrators and Moderators only.

Alan, may I have a question?

when I post a reply by QuickClip to a thread, it subcribe me to that thread by defualt. So, how can I make it as "Do Not subscribe" ?

Kind regards ..

Something for when you come back

For some reason, my supermods can't see this feature in their CPs....does this thing ignore 2ndary groups? or does it skip them? Admins see it fine, Supermods, no joy. I checked the permissions and everything else I could think of...i'm at a loss...

Hi all,

I have now returned from my holidays, hope you all had a good <insert-seasonal-holiday-name-here>

I'll start answering any questions, fixing any bugs, and adding any new features next week, but I've got a lot of hacks to update, so it might not be immediate

Thanks,
Alan.

Welcome Back Alan

Thanks for your support ..

Does this allow you to set global responses, so I can have canned replys that my entire support team use?

Working like a charm, thank you! This is one wicked tool!
