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!

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 love this one myself! Very nice!

I've noticed that everytime I use this feature, I am automatically subscribed to that thread. Is there a way to stop this automatic subscription?

I'm experiencing the same issue as Tulsa. Is there any way to prevent the subscription when replying to a thread using quickclips?

For some reason, my supermods can't see this feature in their CPs....does this thing ignore 2ndary groups? or does it skip them? Admins see it fine, Supermods, no joy. I checked the permissions and everything else I could think of...i'm at a loss...

I think I waited long enough to bump this :banana:

edit I got this error when trying to go to the usercp after installing this, and everything was done correctly.

Warning: Unknown(/home/gamerzne/public_html/forums/includes/quickclip/class_folder.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions_user.php(46) : eval()'d code on line 4

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required '/home/gamerzne/public_html/forums/includes/quickclip/class_folder.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gamerzne/public_html/forums/includes/functions_user.php(46) : eval()'d code on line 4

i think the problem is with my host, the files are in there but i just uploaded a picture and when i go to view it, it doesnt show, but its there. I'll contact my host and find out whats going on, as i think this is a problem with my host.

a nice option might to have quickclips also vor creating a new thread and writing a PN.

The arrangment of the tables in the UserCP isn't right.

How can I fix this?

In the User CP, the messages, etc., are now forced down to below the usercp menu on the left. In other words, there is a huge blank space where there shouldn't be.

Great hack, btw.

I was deleting a private message today and instead of deleting the message, it sent a quick clip to me. Now quick clip box is underneath the delete option in the private message area but I did this three times to make sure I didn't accidentially hit it by mistake.

Any ideas?
