Great idea and good work!

Like said, I'll install this when it's for moderators/super moderators/administrators only. I also don't think that they should have the ability to edit it. It should be editable via the ACP for all staff members...

A great Idea bananalive, its great to see new ideas for mods that are totally original

I would love to mark this as installed but I only want it for staff use.

I have tagged it an I will follow the updates.

Nice work!

oh, and it would be great too if you would use phrases.

So I and others users can translate it faster and easier.

Yes, canned infraction texts would be most welcome.

I hope there is no serious problem. Please explain what is wrong.

[bananalive]

I've updated this to v1.1 which includes usergroup permissions and optional template edits for use of canned replies in newthread and userinfractions.

agreed.

This is not coded very well and uses 8 queries where 1 would suffice.

good concept, bad execution.

The following errors occurred with your submission
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

I have the same problem. When we choose the canned replies from dropdown list. The text is not prefilled into the editor textarea.
