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!

I have two ideas for version 1.2

1.
The admins should be able in the admincp to create default QuickClips for other groups.

For example:
The admin creates a default QuickClip for the Group Moderators.
Moderators should not be able to modify or delete this
and it should only be shown if the group is allowed to view QuickClips.

This means that disabling the group to use QuickClips should also deactivate the default ones which are set by the admin.

2.
Create QuickClip Pool.

There should be a new option called:
Allow user to send a QuickClip to the Pool

The Pool should be an area where all usergroups who are allowed to view it can see other users QuickClips.

Example:
I am admin and allowed to view the pool.
I send one of my private QuickClips to it.

A Moderator who is also allowed to see the pool marks all QuickClips he finds useful and adds them by marking a hitbox to his own private QuickClip list.

Only the creator or an admin should be able to remove a Item from the pool or modify it.

Alan @ CIT, I would like to tell you something























































In my opinion, it is the most perfect hack, and you are one of the most professional coder in the world.

Million million thanks Alan,
everything works smoothly and very fine.

But, I have only one question: :nervous:

How can I remove the content from displaying?

because, in my langauge, it cannot be displayed very well, it display strange char.:
see this pic:



My lanagauge uses: windows encoding.

So, I am just looking how to remove this in the red recangular from displaying.

Thanks again
Kind regards ..

[Alan @ CIT]

BoYagoob: To remove the preview text, edit the quickclip_listclips_listbit template, and remove:

<span class="smallfont">$clip_text_snipped</span>

I believe I know why the text is displaying incorrectly, I will investigate and get back to you

jluerken: Thanks for the feature suggestions, I will bear them in mind for future versions

Thanks,
Alan.

[BoYagoob]

Thanks a lot my friend.
I fixed and remove that, I think it will not be a problem for me if i remove it.
and now, I have just finished translating it to my lanaguage in my forum, and I will publish it for my members. I am sure they will like it, becase they will use it in certain sections especially the welcome section for the new members, and for me as an admin of course.

Thanks for this best hack.

Looks fantastic.
I have an issue with the PM feature.

The reply works great but if I try to delete a PM while viewing it using the:

Delete Message
To delete this message, check the appropriate option below and then click the 'Delete this Message' button.

I select the confirmation box and click Delete thi Message without touching anything on the QuickClip section below. It does not delete the message and sends the canned reply that is selected by default to the user who's message I am trying to delete. I can delete messages just fine using the check boxes and the Delete option when viewing the message list in a folder.

Alan I sent you a PM. This is being caused by the "Advanced editing options" hack at look location newpost_process or newpost_complete. It appears that this hack monopolizes newreply and allows only for quickreply to go thru.

I disabled those two hooks and all is well.

This also seems to conflit with Psionic Visions "Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins" located here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98737. When I have it enabled with this hack and try to use a QuickClip reply to a post, I get an error message from what appears to be his hack that reads:
"The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
You did not specify a username for your post."

When I disable his product the post QuickClip reply works fine but the delete PM issue is still there.

Yes, I tried disabling those as well and it seems to work.
Are we losing anything from the Adv. Edit hack by disabling those that you know of?

I would say that we loose everything. Adv Editing becomes useless, in my opinion. I posted in there, hopefully he will fix it. My opinion is that the problem is his, because he monopolizes that location which means no other hacks will work if they need to use same location or same process.
