QuickClip - A Clipboard for Users

Introduction

QuickClip allows your members to store frequently used snippets of text that they can then quickly and easily use as replies to threads and private messages.

QuickClip is based on the familier Private Messaging interface, so will be instantly familier to your users and will help cut down support queries such as "Where is the such-and-such button?".

As the forum administrator, you can keep full control over your members QuickClips usage by limiting the number of clips and folders they can create, or even banning them from using it completly.

All of this is controlled by Usergroup access, with default settings in vBulletin Options.

Features

• Fully template driven so it will blend into the look and feel of your site
• Fully phrased, making translation to other languages a breeze
• Fully integrated with the vBulletin User CP
• New: QuickClip Reply boxes for posting your QuickClips in Threads and Private Messages
• New: An option to include your signautre when posting replies using QuickClips
• Fully controllable limits on Clips and Folders, including the option to have No Limit
• New: The ability to Preview your QuickClip before saving
• ...Plus so much more! Take a look at the screenshots below!

Thanks go to Danny.vbt for testing, to SomeName for proof-reading the Installation Guide, and for everyone who has made suggestions or helped to find bugs

My thanks goes to everyone of you who has installed QuickClip, and to those who have posted in this thread


Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!


Further Screenshots can be found in the second post

How can I fix this?

In the User CP, the messages, etc., are now forced down to below the usercp menu on the left. In other words, there is a huge blank space where there shouldn't be.

Matt, you probably put the new code "between"....... </table> and <!-- / usercp nav --> instead of right on top.

Oh Oh,

When I reply to a thread using the quick reply box (but don't use Quick Clip) The Alt-S shortcut doesn't work?

If I mouse click the Submit Quick Reply it works, but hitting Alt + S it doesn't.

Anyone else have this or know how to fix it?

I didn't notice that issue, however do you notice that when using the quickclip to reply to a thread, you are automatically subscribed to the thread?

Hi Alan,

I am using vB 3.5.4 and found a small bug in the QuickClip Product.

If you quick reply on a thread the signature will not be shown anymore.
See Screenshots:

Can you please fix this?

I have it disabled. Decided until the 'deleting' issue is fixed, I can't use it.

Alan this Hack is marked as Supported. Will you release an update?

[Antivirus]

Hi Allan, I really love the concept of this hack, however the current version has a few bugs (see previous posts please) and I am just wondering if you have plans to update this hack, or if development of it has been discoutinued. Please let us know, thanks!

[Alan @ CIT]

Hi all,

This hack is in development still, it's just still quite low down on my todo list

The only bugs I know of at the moment, are:

1) Bug affecting non-english forums
2) Documentation bug - to fix this, in the install instructions for the PM template bit, where it says "Add above </form>" - add it below instead. There is a post a few pages back saying this.

I'll try and update the hack tonight if I can.

Thanks,
Alan.
