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.

Whenever is fine. It will save you a lot of "it's not working, what's wrong" messages. I know how much time you need for math. Just trying to help.

filburt, I put this hack in the newthread.php too, but I want to make sure I have to code in the right spot so as not too mess with anything else in there. I put the code for this hack below the following code:

PHP Code:

  // check to see if signature required
  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost) {
    if ($bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {
      $signaturechecked="CHECKED";
    } else {
            $signaturechecked='';
        }
    if ($bbuserinfo[emailnotification]) {
      $emailchecked="checked";
    } else {
            $emailchecked='';
        }
  } 


Is that ok or do I need to move it somewhere else?

It should be pretty much anywhere after the permission checks and before showthread is eval'ed.

Well, it's in the Start New Thread section and the only permissions in there are for the poll posting. That is the last section of the file and a few lines up from the dooutput newthread. Hopefully it will be ok there.

Why does the "Canned Text" Nav option display correctly when accessing my User CP but when I click on anything else like Edit Options or Private Messages, it get's blacked out?

Bump!

[filburt1]

I think it's a bug, look at that whole block of the same code with indicies 1 to 7 and add the 8th where appropriate.

[Boofo]

filburt, is there a way to allow canned text to be added to the message instead of writing over anything we have in the message box when we use it? Right now, if I write anything in the message and click any canned text, it erases what is there and inserts the canned text.

Edit the Javascript added via the template mod (no, don't know how).

[Boofo]

You and me both. I'm disappointed now, filburt. I thought you were the "Ultimate Hacker" these days, capable of almost anything, with all of the great hacks you've been releasing.

Does anyone else reading this thread know how to accomplish this?
