PreDefined Text in New Thread

[sketch42]

is it possible to have it when a user clicks new thread in a specific forum there can be a predefined text in the text editor?

so say i had a section where members describe themselves they click new thread and already in the posting box it shows

Height = _Ft _ In
Weight = ___lbs
Eye Color = ___

etc....

easyly doable via a template condition of the newthread template

you might find the answer already at vbulletintemplates.com or if not, someone there will be able to help you i'm sure

Well, i know that you could probaly get this into the new thread template, but im not sure if it would be possible for the enhanced wysiwyg with out abit of code hacking

we are working on avoid that in the future, just right now, it's spread up that way...

but i fear, this time i was wrong....

vb3 doesn't allow this as a template codition, so you have to edit newthread.php
find that:

PHP Code:

    construct_edit_toolbar($newpost['message'], 0, $foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['allowsmilies']); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

    construct_edit_toolbar(iif($foruminfo['forumid'] == XX AND $newpost['message'] == '', 'Your predefinied text here', $newpost['message']), 0, $foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['allowsmilies']);

thank you for the reply.... one more question... how bout for multiple forum id's?

[Xenon]

very easy as well, just replace

PHP Code:

$foruminfo['forumid'] == XX 


with

PHP Code:

in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(xx, yy,zz...))
