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!

Alan:

The editor is displaying the reply box weird.

I have attached the file what I am talking about.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Antivirus: Thanks, I may take you up on that offer

Parker: If you let me know your forum URL I will take a look. I've never seen that before.

Thanks,
Alan.

I fixed it by replacing

<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth_usercp]" align="$stylevar[left]">

with

<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth]" align="$stylevar[left]">

Love it.Easy/Quick install, Works great!
Great job!!

Is there any way to show the quick clip as the full clip made like a thread instead of a lil preview like it is?

If I haven't done it in a couple of weeks, remind me because I'll have forgotten

Thanks,

Hi Alan

Reminder... as requested...

I'd love to see the option of previewing the clip before submitting it. This would be a huge benefit to the hack as it would allow generic team clips to be created that could then be used by the entire support team and amended accordingly to suit the reason for posting.

[Alan @ CIT]

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten all about it

I'll try and start work on it again next week.

Thanks,
Alan.

Excellent Alan, thanks. This will certainly be a great enhancement to QC.

[TheBlackPoet]

a great hack for my poetry site. its like a macro for members who want to respond quick!!!! or can't think of the words to use...

[JayJay]

Any ideas why following the use of a QuickClip I appear to get subscribed to a thread?

Any help appreciated

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but when I have the quickclip installed, deleting of PMs doesn't work properly. When you're in the showpm (viewing a pm), and tick the box delete, and delete this message, it simply goes back to the inbox, without deleting the pm!

If I remove the code you're supposed to add in the template showpm, it works again.

Help would be appreciated!
