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!


Further Screenshots can be found in the second post

It has that feature by default. It's controlled by Usergroup permissions. Once installed, you will need to go into each of the usergroups you want to be able to use QuickClip, and set "Can Use QuickClip" to "Yes"

See the last section of install.html for more details

Edit: Sorry, did you mean add the moderation thing? If so, then I've no plans to add something like that to this hack at this time

Look in your usergroup at the bottom.

cool idea. does this just post in threads? what about PM, usernotes, reputation, etc...?

[Mr Chad]

this is pretty damn tight.

when you edit your clip does it change all others?
