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!

Thanks. I can't believe it took you 2 seconds to fix what I have been trying to do all night... :-)

great addition... many thanks for sharing!

Awesome.

Not to go off-topic, but I'm looking more forward to your spell-checking utility. If you have any further information to donate regarding it, I'd love to hear it. I've been looking for a decent spell-checker for some time now.

Lionel · #26 03-08-2005, 04:06 PM

This hack for sure is going to make it for the hack of the month. You got my vote!

Hi, Sonia!

I think I've found two bugs.
Could you please look into it.

1) I can't delete draft threads. There's an error in function draft_vars() I think.
My draft thread has no attachment. When I try to delete a draft - I get an mysql error.

2) I edit an draft thread, then hit preview, and then save that draft again.
After that I have two drafted threads with same content in my folder.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
I think the first bug is caused by my mysql version.
I have mysql v3.23.57. I think multiple delete (with left joins) is possible only with mysql 4 and higher. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
Is there a solution to get it running with 3.23.57?

MYSQL VERSION 4 OR HIGHER ONLY

UPDATE (2) Save Drafts for MySQL Version 4 or higher!

Download the attached file...

rename it to...

functions_drafts,php

place it in your ./includes/ directory, over writing the old file!

Go to your Admin panel

Styles & Templates >> search in templates

search for 'drafts', select the template => 'drafts_display'

FIND THIS

Code:

   <td class='thead' width='22%' style='white-space : nowrap'>$vbphrase[draft_edited_time]</td>
   <td class='thead' width='58%' style='white-space : nowrap'>$vbphrase[draft_list_title]</td>

REPLACE WITH

Code:

   <td class='thead' width='20%' style='white-space : nowrap'>$new_draft[nalink]$new_draft[nblink]</td>
   <td class='thead' width='58%' style='white-space : nowrap'>$new_draft[nclink]$new_draft[ndlink]</td>

That is it, you now have added...

1. code clean ups typo(s)
2. column sorting on ( last edit time, post title / post message)
3. sorting into the navigation, so prev/next page follows the column sorting!

C, Ya...

Thank you so much for the fix for mysql 3. Highly appreciated.

Lionel · #31 03-09-2005, 04:24 PM

I just had someone upgrade mysql to 4.0.23. That solves me all problems including the usergroup not updating because of the manage_draft
