Import attached product, then if you add {share} at the beginning of the canned reply then others will be able to see it.

Bananalive, thanks for taking the trouble with that, the {share}, does that mean share with those who can use canned replies or everyone? probably a stupid question!

Like i said stupid question, the addition to the mod works great!, thansk for spending your valuable time sorting this!

[Simon Lloyd]

Bananalive, that change allows for certain Canned Replies to be shared but the {share} appears with the reply. I tried using {share} in the title of the CR but that didn't share it, so i used {share} in the body, that shared it but as i said its visible when posted. How can i make it invisible?

I didn't think of that. Fixed in attached file.

That seems to have nailed it thanks very much!

This request might be complicated but it might be a good one

With the shared code above, that is great, however I think it could be improved if you could define certain things. eg. Which usergroups can set up shared code. eg. Create shared code and then set it to show for specific usergroups/users instead of to all who can use canned replies. those 2 features would be great.



And another feature request: add canned replies to quick reply in PM (new feature added since vb 3.8.x)

[Andy R]

You might be able to use something like this to define who you can share it to:

{share:1;5;6}

Where 1, 5, & 6 are the usergroups who can see that shared message.

To define who can use the share code, you could add an option in the Usergroup Settings (bitfield_canreplies2008.xml).

Just some ideas....

Oh yeah, thanks for this great product and sharing it with the Community!

Is the single/double quote bug fixed yet?

(Eg. When putting single or double quotes anywhere in the canned reply, once the reply is posted, there are /'s in front of the quotes)
