New Posting Features - [DBTech] Post Templates v1 (vB4)

vB Post Templates

This is a conversion of the mod Deceptor originally developed for vBulletin 3.8.x located here, due to popular request he updated it to work fully with vBulletin 4.0.x and released it under the DBTech banner, and the DBTech team has now updated it further to work with the new CKEditor.

Priority support is handled at the Developers Website @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum

How does it work?

Very simple, in your User CP you can create two new things. One is categories for your post templates, and you'll need atleast one category before you can create a post template. Then secondly ofcourse, you can create post templates.

Once you have atleast one of each, when making new topics, or replies, or blogs, or anywhere with the full post editor - including the vB CMS Article Editor, CMS Quick Reply and Forum Quick Reply! You'll see a new option integrated into the vBulletin WYSIWYG called 'Post Templates', clicking it will open a menu showing you your post templates categorised. Click any of the post templates, and AJAX will quickly request then spit the contents of that post template right into your post!

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Differences between vB3 version
This is pretty much a replica of the vB3 version except for two things:

1) "Defined" was changed to "Global", to make it easier to understand.
2) The User CP for Post Templates is a lot easier to use and maintain than previously.


FAQ
Q) I've installed, I got to my usercp but don't see a post templates menu?
A) You'll need to grant your usergroup permissions to use Post Templates, edit your UG permissions like you would normally within vBulletin.

Q) What is a "Global" template?
A) Global means the template/category can be seen/used by those who have permission to do so.

I updated to use the alt.js file. This removed the <br /> tags, but it still leaves a space. Is there anything i can change in the js file to remove the spaces that are inserted?

When I switch the editor to code view and then insert the post template, it works fine without adding spaces.

vb4.2.0 pl3

Unfortunately there's nothing more I can do to fix these issues

Worked for me, thanks!
Now all templates are pasting in bb-codes, not in htlm.
