Canned Text

This hack allows members to reply to messages with "canned text" (prewritten messages). This is useful for moderators and helpful members who find that they are constantly answering the same question over and over again.

Hmm... I like the idea... And I installed...

But I don't get why I see nothing in under
"Edit Canned Text"

[filburt1]

If the textboxes are empty it's because you haven't defined any custom text yet.

[Xscape]

No, there's just nothing there. The table ends after "Edit Canned Text".

[filburt1]

Then you didn't install the hack correctly, or you're not using my normal requirements of PHP 4.3.0 and vB 2.3.0 RC3.

To have the usercp navbar appear at the top of the page in your cannedtext page:

NOTE: You may want to edit the first part here. I have 9 items in my navbar. You may have less or more.

Add this:

PHP Code:

  $cpnav[1]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[2]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[3]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[4]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[5]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[6]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[7]="#1C5780";
  $cpnav[8]="#1C5780";
    $cpmenu[9]="class=\"fjsel\" selected";
  $cpnav[9]="#13486D"; 


Above this:

PHP Code:

  eval("\$cpnav = \"".gettemplate("usercpnav")."\";"); 


And put:

<br>
$cpnav
<br>

In the cannedtext template right BELOW this:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><normalfont>
<b><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/vb_bullet.gif" align="middle" alt="$bbtitle - powered by vBulletin version $templateversion">
<a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">$bbtitle</a>
&gt; Edit Canned Text</normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

You will have to ajust the colors accordingly since vb.org parses them out here. But you should all get the idea.

I dont seem to have permission to access cannedtext.php, I am admin...

[filburt1]

With my original cannedtext.php? It will load if your userid is not 0 (i.e., you're not a guest). Make sure you're logged in.

[pattox]

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

What are the first few lines of cannedtext.php?

[pattox]

<?
if ($_POST['action'] == "save")
{
	$templateused = "standardredirect,redirect_cannedtextsaved";
	require("./global.php");
	if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 or $ctmax == 0) show_nopermission();
	
	$userid = $bbuserinfo['userid'];
	
	// force the update to work if the rows don't exist yet
	$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM cannedtext WHERE userid = $userid");
	$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO cannedtext (userid, number, contents)
		VALUES ($userid, 1, \"\"), ($userid, 2, \"\"), ($userid, 3, \"\"), ($userid, 4, \"\"), ($userid, 5, \"\")");
