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

For those having an issue with Deleting PM's, edit the pm_showpm template, and move the QuickClip edit below the </form> tag at the bottom of that template.

I will write proper instructions tomorrow, as well as look into this Advanced Editing bug.

Thanks,
Alan.

Cool.
I really only use it for changing post dates and post authors which still seems to work fine on editpost.php. I imagine these hooks have somthing to do with if you are limiting editing options based on groups which I do not use it for at this time.

But the delete PM issue above has me disabling this for now.

Alan just posted a fix above your post for the delete pm

Great extension Alan, working 100%

I have a question,
Is it possible to use QuickClip when i making a new thread.

[Lionel]

The template for showthread is not allowing for signature like in PM

[akanevsky]

Great hack but.... If QuickClip was based on JavaScript, and worked somewhat like BBCODE, it would be much easier to integrate into any textarea ) Or, it could also work like "quote message in reply", but in your case it'd be "put the following quickclip in reply".
