New Posting Features - [DBTech] vB Post Templates 1.5.0 [AJAX]

vB Post Templates

This is a conversion of the mod I originally developed for vBulletin 3.8.x located here, due to popular request I've updated it to work fully with vBulletin 4.

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 templateright into your post!

Features

• Fully Integrates into vBulletin WYSIWYG editor
• Unlimited amount of categories/templates allowed.
• Fast template inclusion, through AJAX.
• Permission based through usergroups.
• Ability for users to create/user "global" templates, handy to share common replys in a team or between groups.
• Integrates into: Any standard WYSIWYG Editor (forums, blogs, custom modifications, etc...), Forum Quick Reply Editor, vB CMS Article Editor & vB CMS Article Quick Reply Editor

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.

Available Translations

Arabic - v1.5.0 - Thanks to Dr.osamA

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.

As always, enjoy!

[DragonByte Tech]

It's a highly complex change, and this being a small mod it's not on top of our list of priorities unfortunately

I would like to create a Global Template and have it NOT be editable by users, in other words force them to use it as is. Is this a function that is already there and i'm missing it or something that can be added?

Thanks

Does anyone know where you edit CKEditor in order to add the post template code again?
