Save Drafts (Remember Everything) Updated! · **Released**: 03-06-2005

My Save Drafts Version 1

Supports: vB 3.0./1/2/3/4/5/6/7 TESTED

MySQL support for Version 4 or higher and now full support for MySQL version 3* to!!!

Overview...

The *Save Draft Sub System* is designed to allow members to save (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) as a draft! This allows for saving a message that you might not be able to finish at the present time, but want to not lose that message!

The *Save Draft System* does more than just *save the message*...

1. Save Message
2. Remembers all form options (icons, subscriptions, disabled this or enabled that)
3. Allows for saving Attachments
4. Allows for unlimited (edits) before posting or sending message
5. Remembers (topic, post, forum you are replying to)
6. UserCP, folder views (lists messages with easy controls to manage all drafts)

Save Drafts Controls (Forum Display)

Save draft controls "Save Draft" and "Folder Views" are only visible to members that have permission to use that control! If a member has saved his/her maximum allowed drafts for a certain folder, then that control is closed. They will not be able access it.

Save Drafts Controls (Admin Display)

Because the Save Draft System, is based not only group permissions, you can limit what groups can do! One group can save all types of messages (new Post, New Replies and New PMs) while the other can only save maybe (New PMs). The control extends it's self the same way for saving (Attachments).

Instead of making a Admin Panel that would very complicated due the nature of multi permissions, I have made the admin panel simple to use, but even with the simplity of the control, the combinations that the control gives you, offers you many options with simple ease of use as it's design logic was intended!

Controls...

Turn the draft system on per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Turn the draft system off per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
On shut down per folder, do what? ( soft shut down [no delete], hard shut down [full delete]) per group
Allow for saving attachment per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Allow for setting a message storage limit per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group [unlimited = 0, ### = maximum message saves allowed]
Allow for original draft date for posting the message! (this is for mods, admins only, should always be set to (no)) (part of the extended panel V2)

This is a difficult mod to install, if you don't feel comfible editing scripts. I will install it for anyone that asks me to! Have any questions just ask!

See attachments for different views, also demo is here!

Save and Close 'drafts.sql', you now can load 'drafts.sql' into your forums database

Load it where exactly? In a specific folder? In my forum's folder? Can you assist?

Hi, sure, i would love to assist you.

I assume that you are using cpanel for maintaing your webhosting account. Please following the steps carefully.

1. Please loginto your cpanel account.

2. Go to My Sql database maintenance.

3. Towards the bottom click "phpmyadmin" link.

4. You will be shown the databases that you are using to run your website.

5. Now select the database where you have installed your forums.

6. In the right hand side. you will see a tab called SQL.

7. Click on it and it will ask to cut and paste the contents of drafts.sql OR you can simply provide the path to draft.sql in the relevant option just below the above cut-paste screen.

8. After pasting or selecting, click GO buttom and you are done as far as drafts.sql part is concerned.

Enjoy !!

PS: I am posting this message in the relevant thread so that other learned people can guide you even better. Regards

Awesome, thanks!

One question, when modifying the pmnew_pm template, your instructions ask to look for:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

but all I have in there is:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

Same thing?

why-not · #44 03-12-2005, 03:06 AM

Hi

Yes it is the same thing, (button wise. The only thing that is different is the $vbphrase, yours uses 'preview_message', my example (install example) uses 'preview_post'! So both are the same but what the button will display!

So yes do the Find and Replace based on your button!

Like so

Find => in 'pm_newpm'

Code:

 <input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

Replace with => in 'pm_newpm'

Code:

 <input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" /> <if condition="$permissions[newpmdrafts]!=0"><input type="submit" class="button" name="draft" value="$vbphrase[save_draft]" /></if>

C, ya...

Sonia,

Hi! I installed everything, but I can't see the save draft button on my replies. I'm logged on as admin (where it's on by default) but there's nothing there. Heeeeeelllllpppp!!!!

<i>Hi! I installed everything, but I can't see the save draft button on my replies. I'm logged on as admin (where it's on by default) but there's nothing there. Heeeeeelllllpppp!!!!</i>

Hi

What I mean in the install is that Admin permissions are setup to allow for full access to the Draft System. But even admin permissions are not loaded into the vB cache by default so read below to update the vB permissions cache! This is explained in the file 'after_install.txt', but I guess I did not explain it very well. I will update that file now!

Go to 'usergroups' and reload the groups so that the new permissions are added to the vBulletin permission cache! vBulletin uses a cache on permissions!

Follow me...

Go to >> Admin Panel!

Left menu >> click on 'Usergroups', Usergroups opens!!

click on 'Usergroup Manager', Usergroup Manager opens!!

now click on the 'Go' button for group 'Administrators'

User Group Manager (user group 6 => Administrators) opens!

Go all the way to the bottom of that page and find the button 'Update'

Click on that 'button => Update' to reload the permissions cache!

After everything will be shown on your forum for the Administrator group!

Today I am writing a full detailed help file that will list all the settings
and will give examples of setting up different groups with different
access right, please check back later for that. It will help you better
to understand what each option does!

The user group permissions (Help) already have details about each option
and what it does in relationship to other options in the Save Drafts
permissions group! But many have asked me to write a full detailed list
of examples of different groups so they can get a better understanding
what each permission option does!

I am almost done with this and will have it done today, so check back later
for that download!

C, ya...

Needed only if downloaded zip before 8:44 AM March 12, 2005)

It was reported that if the New Post folder is filled and someone wants to Save a draft in their New PM folder that is not filled, they can not access the Save Draft button to save the New PM. This only effects groups that have (#) limit on messages that they can be saved!

Fix! (file => ./private.php)

Find in => private.php

Code:

				if ( drafts_total ( $bbuserinfo['userid'], $permissions['usergroupid'], 1 ) >= $permissions['newpmmax'] )
				{

replace With

Code:

				if ( drafts_total ( $bbuserinfo['userid'], $permissions['usergroupid'], 3 ) >= $permissions['newpmmax'] )
				{

// end fix

Sonia, can you please get back to me. I didn't receive your email and for some reason PM' s no longer work to your account?

Thank you.

Please note I have taken the hack we discussed to another developer as you seem to be to busy to respond currently.

OrangeFlea · #50 03-14-2005, 07:03 PM

Hack worked. It's brilliant.

When will we see the spell check hack, Sonia?
