User's Notepad

User's Notepad - v0.9

It's like the AdminCP notes, only every user has one in their UserCP.
It wasn't inspired by the vB2 version (which I was unaware of until AzhriaLilu pointed it out), I simply missed having it after moving from Invision to vBulletin

I have tested this on my own (live + test) boards (3.0.5 and 3.0.6), and am releasing this only as beta to get feedback. Pending any bugs this will be released in the same form as v1.00 about a month from now.

Yes, multiple notes, with a limit, as Yoyo suggests. Usually when I have notes, I have a lot of them. And I can never remember where I put them, lol...

Nice hack, move it out of beta. Works great.

I think that would make it into a whole new hack, indeed
That or a severely upgraded version of this one.

If an admin just wants to limit this to certain usergroups and sizes, it would make sense to do so in a newer version of this hack.

Sharing notes is an interesting idea too, and this could indeed be a Shared Notes section in the UserCP. On RPG boards this would reduce the number of PMs going back and forth when collaborating on a post.

As for an admin viewing people's notepad, I'm not sure this is such a good idea. They can always run an SQL query if they're curious, but I'm recicent about facilitating snooping.

Usergroup Permissions:
- Allowed notes: Yes/No
- Allowed notes size: [00000] characters
- Allowed notes sharing: Yes/No
- Allowed notes number: [10] notes

This would move notes into a seperate section. If you're allowed to share notes, then each of the notes (assuming you're allowed multiple) will have its own permission fields for the user to fill out:

Note 1 of 10 < 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 >
[ Note note note ]
Can view [username1,userid2]
Can edit [username2,userid3]
[Save]

I think that this would be awesome... I really like the hack so far and am looking forward to how far you can go with it

PS- I agree about not facilitating an admin to snoop more... just tossing out ideas/thoughts on a great hack!

[Ianomed]

I think so too. I'll give it a go after the Quick Account Switch -> v1.3 update

**clicks install**

Nice hack. I installed this on my vb 3.0.3 board and it seems to be working fine!

I completely agree about facilitating admin snooping!

[Allan]

Click Install

but, It would be possible to adapt it so that it have a link directly in the postbit there so that there is a popup window which opens with the note has the inside ??

[Allan]

Hey Ianomed, I would need your help

I would like to know if you could say to me the way of adapting your hack so that instead of that this is in the page " usercp ", she is in a page external has vBulletin, of the kind " notes.php " ??

By using this hack for example
