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

If I remove the code you're supposed to add in the template showpm, it works again.
Help would be appreciated!

I have experienced this same behavior as well

I don't think that has anything to do with this hack. Anytime you post in a thread you get subscribed unless you turn it off in your profile.

Even with Automatic Thread Subscriptions set to off in settings? I don't believe it's that, but thanks for suggesting it

Is anyone using QuickClip with Vb 3.6? I will be upgrading to 3.6 soon and just wanted to hear any feedback from anyone using this with 3.6. I don't expect it would cause any problems, but you never know, right?

I have done some quick testing after upgrading a mirror test board and it seems to function just fine.

[Dexter_kcd]

Thanks. I upgraded a week ago and only just now did the template edits for this. Seems to work fine in 3.6, except that when I am viewing the quickclip.php page, the control panel menu on the left side is a bit messed up, some blank table rows. It seems some of the menu locations are using old phrase variables that 3.6 does not recognize, so some menu items are missing.

Minor inconvenience, once I finish in quickclip.php I can just go back to the main control panel page and everything is there. Maybe I'll see if I can edit the quickclip.php page to have the right items in the menu.
