QuickClip - A Clipboard for Users

Introduction

QuickClip allows your members to store frequently used snippets of text that they can then quickly and easily use as replies to threads and private messages.

QuickClip is based on the familier Private Messaging interface, so will be instantly familier to your users and will help cut down support queries such as "Where is the such-and-such button?".

As the forum administrator, you can keep full control over your members QuickClips usage by limiting the number of clips and folders they can create, or even banning them from using it completly.

All of this is controlled by Usergroup access, with default settings in vBulletin Options.

Features

• Fully template driven so it will blend into the look and feel of your site
• Fully phrased, making translation to other languages a breeze
• Fully integrated with the vBulletin User CP
• New: QuickClip Reply boxes for posting your QuickClips in Threads and Private Messages
• New: An option to include your signautre when posting replies using QuickClips
• Fully controllable limits on Clips and Folders, including the option to have No Limit
• New: The ability to Preview your QuickClip before saving
• ...Plus so much more! Take a look at the screenshots below!

Thanks go to Danny.vbt for testing, to SomeName for proof-reading the Installation Guide, and for everyone who has made suggestions or helped to find bugs

My thanks goes to everyone of you who has installed QuickClip, and to those who have posted in this thread


Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!


Further Screenshots can be found in the second post

Indeed, and in the new class_folder.php, there is a space before order:

PHP Code:

$fetch_many_q .= " ORDER BY `id` ASC"; 


Which should fix the problem.

Are you certain that you overwrote the existing class_folder.php when you copied over the new one?

Thanks,
Alan.

This fixes the problem. THX!

Excellent news I'll update the main zip file shortly.

Fantastic hack. Must soon be a contender for HoM.

[Alan @ CIT]

Thanks all for the kind words, and for installing this mod

(Note: As of this post, the main zip file has been updated with the fixed class_folder.php file)

I have questions:

1- When I use the quickclips, it does not show me my signature in the post. So how can I make it to preview it?

2- When a user didn't creat any new clips, it still show the quickclip table in the show thread. So, can I remove the table till a user creat a new clip?

Kind regards ..

[Alan @ CIT]

BoYagoob: I'll add both of those options in the next version which should be released in the next day or so.

Superb - definite HOTM material.

BoYagoob,

In the mean time, here are the changes you need to make to add a "Use Signature" tickbox:

Edit the quickclip_replybox template (in the "QuickClip Templates" group) and find:

$quickclip_dropdown

Directly after that, add:

<label for="cb_signature"><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="1" id="cb_signature" tabindex="5" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[show_your_signature]</label>
