End-User Options - Personal Notepad for 3.7

Basically the Personal Notepad hack for 3.6 with a security token to make it work for 3.7 and a couple of additions.

This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board, and which existed for vBulletin 2 as vBPad. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.

1 product to install

FEATURES

- A notepad in members' main user CP area where they can type in whatever notes they may want to take down and save them
- Notepad can be resized
- Javascript for allowing users to see when they have exceeded the character limit
- Admin CP options (turn on/off, maximum input length, liquid/fixed width, width of fixed-width notepad, usergroups allowed to use notepad, notepad location)
- No manual template edits
- Fully phrased for easy translation

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Edit the Personal Notepad options in the vBulletin options if desired. (It is automatically turned on upon installation, so if you want to start using it right away without worrying about the options, you can.)
3. If desired, edit the default message that appears for members who have not put anything into their personal notepads - search for the phrase personal_notepad_explanation in the Admin CP and edit the language of your choice.
4. There is no 4. You're done. Go inform your members of the addition.

VERSION HISTORY

4.1: Fixed a bug that caused the notepad to be resized horizontally as well as vertically, potentially stretching the page.
4.0: Added notepad location option in the Admin CP and a default message for members who have not yet edited their personal notepads. Fixed compatibility with 3.7.
3.1: Saved space in liquid-width notepad by putting character counter and textbox size changers in the same line, phrased some stuff that was forgotten and added usergroup limitations in the admin options.
3.0: Tweaks for fitting better with the look of vBulletin, cached template, Javascript counter for character limit, made notepad collapsible, added version history.
2.0: Ported to 3.6, added resizing function and admin CP options.
1.0: Initial release.

Love et!!! installed on 3.7! xD Although i am a bit greedy. I set the usergroup setting to forum admin only. lol

Works in 3.8 just fine so far.

Is there a way to get the height of the box to save? When I click 'save' or leave the usercp and come back, it's always back to the default size. It would be nice to be able to save the height. Thanks either way, it's great besides that.

Hello.
I installed the Personal Notepad 4.1 when I had vB 3.7.0.

But have upgraded the forum to latest version 3.8.2 and when I then go in to try to remove the addons, so I get only the database error message.

Is there any update to the 3.8.2 version of the addons on the way?

For the time being is only addonsen disabled

Have problems with writing in the forum and you can only write in quick answerd.: (

When writing on New Post, we will have only the error message: The record is 3 characters (words, for short.) Although the setting is set to 2 words and you write 1000 words.

So I hope to help to fix such that I can get this uninstalled addons, when I miss the idea that it is where the problem lie.

When I try to uinstall the addons I get this error msg:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Well, the Error is pretty self explained You can't delete a SQL Column what has not been installed!!! Re-install and uninstall that Addon. If this won't work (what I do not believe) you have to manual uninstall by using PhpMyAdmin
