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!

Hey Alan,

I just thought of a suggestion,

maybe allow the variable $username to be in quick clips, and add a field by the drop down that allows you to input a username so that it posts their username in the message too like this:

Hello $username,

other text.

Just a suggestion.

Hi Alan @ CIT,
I tested it now, and the problem is seen when I enther the UserCP.

See these pics:

ForumHome:



UserCP:



==================

But in the old file which is in the /includes dirctory, works fine witrhout any problem.

[BoYagoob]

Can you tell me please, what is the difference between rhe new and old one of this file:
class_folder.php

for the old one, it works fine.

[Alan @ CIT]

There is almost no difference.

The old one had:

... = "ORDER BY `id` ASC";

The new one has:

... = " ORDER BY `id` ASC";

That's the only change.

[Cyricx]

This is awesome! Sweet addition bro! I never thought of this, but now that I see the screenies, this will work great!

[Alan @ CIT]

Derek: Good idea mate, I'll see if I can work that into the next version

[BoYagoob]

Alan,
I noticed there is another diffrence.

In the first line in the new file, this appear:

``<?php
/**
* QuickClip
* A user clipboard system for vBulletin 3.5

when I removed the: ``

it works fine.

Maybe, is this a bug?

[Alan @ CIT]

Well spotted Boyagoob, that was indeed what was causing the problem. Not entirely sure how those 2 backticks got in there, must have been me pressing random keys again

I have updated the release zip and the class_folder.zip file with the `` removed.

Thanks,
Alan.

Works great but I have one minor problem..... there's a big blank area on top now.

The PM box or whatever box you're using at the time is way down below.

Screenshot attached and any help is appreciated.

[BoYagoob]

Best wishes Alen, and everything is works great now.

Also, I am waiting for the final version with the new features

Kind Regards ..
