Save Drafts (Remember Everything) Updated!

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!

Have you bothered to look on what is line 416 before posting?

You probably have just hit the ] key when pressing enter when doing the file edits, so go to the line and check.

[sv1cec]

Most probably the error is a little before that line.

thanx guys, it was from the stupid dreamweaver.

For some reason I get this error when trying to post a new reply:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/1/d87297472/htdocs/maxruckus/newreply.php on line 715

Line 715 is this:

PHP Code:

?> 


Anyone know what the problem could be?

EDIT: I uploaded a saved copy of newthread.php and edited it, and I fixed the problem. However, now when I post a new reply, I get this message:

1. Please complete both the subject and message fields. Press the back button, correct the problem and try again.
2.) The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 2 characters.

Even though I didn't submit a message, I just clicked the "post a reply" button. Any ideas?

My users are reporting that they are having problems.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /private.php on line 1047

I just checked the edits, and everything is where they should be. lol ...

Anyone have any Idea about this one? The Above was another admin on our site. Still having the same issue :|

Hi sonia,
How's it going with V2?

Any plans for 3.5?

Anyone - How do you find current version working? - Using 3.07

I really need this, or rather, our members are desperate for this.

Hope to hear from somebody soon.

Thanks,

Mark

The install info is riddled with errors and unnecessary spaces. For example, the instructions say in the forum edits for newreply.php to:

- FIND IN script => newreply.php (1 time)
if ($_POST['do'] == 'postreply')
{
globalize($_POST, array(
'posthash' => STR_NOHTML,
'poststarttime' => STR_NOHTML
));

- REPLACE IN script => newreply.php (1 time)

if ( $_POST['do'] == 'postreply' )
{
if ( ! empty ( $_POST['draft'] ) )
{
$draftperms = draft_perms ( $bbuserinfo['userid'], $bbuserinfo['permissions'], 'newreply', 'post' );

if ( isset ( $draftperms['error'] ) )
{
$draftinfo = draft_errors ( $draftperms['error'], 'newreply' );
eval ( print_standard_error ( $draftinfo['page'] ) );
}
}

globalize ( $_POST, array ( 'posthash' => STR_NOHTML, 'poststarttime' => STR_NOHTML ) );

You can clearly see that

if ( $_POST['do'] == 'postreply' )

should be

if ($_POST['do'] == 'postreply')

and the instructions are filled with problems like that.


Can someone provide fixed/correct install info for this hack?

[ambrosious]

Please contact me via email or PM. I would like to hire you to install this on my forum. Love the idea, way too daunting for me.

Thanks!
