New Posting Features - [DBTech] vB Post Templates 1.5.0 [AJAX]

vB Post Templates

This is a conversion of the mod I originally developed for vBulletin 3.8.x located here, due to popular request I've updated it to work fully with vBulletin 4.

Priority support is handled at the Developers Website @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum

How does it work?

Very simple, in your User CP you can create two new things. One is categories for your post templates, and you'll need atleast one category before you can create a post template. Then secondly ofcourse, you can create post templates.

Once you have atleast one of each, when making new topics, or replies, or blogs, or anywhere with the full post editor - including the vB CMS Article Editor, CMS Quick Reply and Forum Quick Reply! You'll see a new option integrated into the vBulletin WYSIWYG called 'Post Templates', clicking it will open a menu showing you your post templates categorised. Click any of the post templates, and AJAX will quickly request then spit the contents of that post templateright into your post!

Features

• Fully Integrates into vBulletin WYSIWYG editor
• Unlimited amount of categories/templates allowed.
• Fast template inclusion, through AJAX.
• Permission based through usergroups.
• Ability for users to create/user "global" templates, handy to share common replys in a team or between groups.
• Integrates into: Any standard WYSIWYG Editor (forums, blogs, custom modifications, etc...), Forum Quick Reply Editor, vB CMS Article Editor & vB CMS Article Quick Reply Editor

Differences between vB3 version
This is pretty much a replica of the vB3 version except for two things:

1) "Defined" was changed to "Global", to make it easier to understand.
2) The User CP for Post Templates is a lot easier to use and maintain than previously.

Available Translations

Arabic - v1.5.0 - Thanks to Dr.osamA

FAQ
Q) I've installed, I got to my usercp but don't see a post templates menu?
A) You'll need to grant your usergroup permissions to use Post Templates, edit your UG permissions like you would normally within vBulletin.

Q) What is a "Global" template?
A) Global means the template/category can be seen/used by those who have permission to do so.

As always, enjoy!

up to know, it bugs with Lynne's move smilies below and vb4 Turbocharge.
Not sure that it will be upgraded to work with those any time soon

Choice to remove other plugins or not to use it. It's sad because it would be a great plugin to use.

[Marka Ragnos]

I have the same problem it does not display the drop down list

i see the category option in user cp and that's it

[Gorgias]

Tested in vB4.1.2 and works exactly as I hoped. Great mod!!!

Regards!!!

[fxwoody]

Little update here, i got the PM-Quickreply problem that it doesn't show up if Lynne smilie below is set to "Add smiliebox below Quick Reply on showthread page".

As anyone else got this trouble with the plugin????

For the rest, it works like a charm!

Edit Plugin "vB Post Templates: Integrate Into vB Editor" and change it to:

}

this fix works well for vbcms, but it doesnt works for photopost pro and classified. I've tried to add this, but without success

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbcms')
{
	require(DIR . '/dbtech/posttemplates/hooks/editor_toolbar_end.php');
}

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'pp_pro')
{
	require(DIR . '/dbtech/posttemplates/hooks/editor_toolbar_end.php');
}

You have to use one condition:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbcms' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'pp_pro')
{
	require(DIR . '/dbtech/posttemplates/hooks/editor_toolbar_end.php');
}

thanks Mystics

if anyone has same problem with photopost pro and classified this is the code to use:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbcms' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'showphoto' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'showproduct')
{
	require(DIR . '/dbtech/posttemplates/hooks/editor_toolbar_end.php');
}

Installed and working excellently on vB 4.0.7. Abandoned Canned Replies for this, thanks a ton.

I'm not sure if anyone linked this already or if the download has been updated, but the apostrophe problem was fixed: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/threa...ng-up-the-page

GREAT MOD!

If anybody is using the mod "MARCO1 Advanced Quick Reply And Edit With Smilies", you have to edit the template "MARCO1_Full_Reply" instead of showthread_quickreply and do as follows:

Find:

<vb:if condition="is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('mac')">

Underneath add:

<!-- POST_TEMPLATES -->
