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

One suggestion: Could you make it so that the content of the QuickClip automatically gets pasted into the textarea so that it is some kind of template which can be edited before posting?

[Alan @ CIT]

MrNase,

That was my original plan, but has been pushed back to a future version

Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks Alan @ CIT,

but I have a new problem.
When you update the new file, and I changed it only for my forum, in the private messeages, the style becomes Left to right, beacuse the defualt is from right to left. can you fix that in the next version?

[Alan @ CIT]

Sorry, I don't fully understand what you mean. Could you show me a screenshot of what it's supposed to look like, and a screenshot of what it looks like when it's broken?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Actually, I have just uninstall it, beacuse I wait for the new version.

My problem is that, if you didn't understant I will install it again:

- My site is R-L,
like this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/?langid=3

- after I put the fixed file for your hack, the style or the langauge become L-R in the private message area.

If this is not clear to you, I will try again and attach screenshots.

[Alan @ CIT]

ok, I understand what you mean now.

I've never used R-L text before, so I'll run some tests on my development board and see what I come up with.

Thanks,
Alan.

Trying to fix the no sig issue, I don't see

 $replybox

In the quickclip_replybox template?

[Alan @ CIT]

Ooops, sorry - I meant find:

$quickclip_dropdown

I will edit my original post

[TheMusicMan]

That sorted it thanks Alan.

Do I need to amend the new class_folder.php file too? I see in another post here that you advised someone to reupload theirs... not sure if that applies to everyone?

[Alan @ CIT]

It's only really needed if you get an SQL error when you enter the User CP.

But, I've updated the main zip with the fixed file, and it certainly won't break anything if you upload it
