This is a port of my previous Personal Notepad hack for vBulletin 3.5, with some added features and modifications that had been requested. It now makes use of template hooks and is placed in a more convenient location for users.
This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their own notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.
1 automatic template edit
1 product to install
FEATURES
- A notepad in members' main user CP area where they can type in whatever notes they may want to take down and save them
- Notepad can be resized
- Javascript for allowing users to see when they have exceeded the character limit
- Admin CP options (turn on/off, maximum input length, liquid/fixed width, width of fixed-width notepad, usergroups allowed to use notepad)
- No manual template edits
- Fully phrased for easy translation
INSTALLATION
1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Edit the Personal Notepad options in the vBulletin options if desired. (It is automatically turned on upon installation, so if you want to start using it right away without worrying about the options, you can.)
3. There is no 3. You're done. Go inform your members of the addition.
VERSION HISTORY
3.1: Saved space in liquid-width notepad by putting character counter and textbox size changers in the same line, phrased some stuff that was forgotten and added usergroup limitations in the admin options.
3.0: Tweaks for fitting better with the look of vBulletin, cached template, Javascript counter for character limit, made notepad collapsible, added version history.
2.0: Ported to 3.6, added resizing function and admin CP options.
1.0: Initial release.

In order to make it compatible with VB 3.6.10 or 3.7.0 (otherwise it just will not work) add the following line.
Find in "personal_notepad" template:
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" />
I don't really see the need for a member notepad....
However, I REALLY would like to see something like this for the admins to make notes on members. It would not be visible to members. The admin CP would be the ideal place for it.

Just my 2 cents.
Ohh the contrary
Quite useful for admins to make a few notes in their usercp OR if you run a Gaming Tournament for members i.e. practice times, battle times, things to update in forums i.e. Battle Rosters etc etc.
Always think of more ways to use something then less

It's quite useful for my members, they can make notes for posts for the future (we are a writing club); as to notes on members... that's already built in to vB... called User Notes, you can set which usergroups can view and make usernotes....
Why would anyone criticize a free Mod that they aren't obligated to use if it doesn't suit their purposes? Seriously, why do people do it? The logic escapes me.
Anyway, I'm just chiming in to say that I have it and it's been very useful, and thank you to the Coder who wrote it.
