<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><font size=1><b>canned reply 1:</b><b>canned reply 2:</b></if> 


can this mode be made in the cannedreplies.php?

I'm clutching at straws as i'm no coder

Any thoughts on this Bananalive? i know that each canned reply has an id so could we use the above IF condition to only show certain canned replies to mods but all of them to admin?

For that an extra column would be needed in canned replies table

[Simon Lloyd]

I take it that would be very complicated to acheive?

The trouble with this addon is, that it puts all saved text into the source code of a webpage. This way everybody can have a look at your predefined statements.

To me this is a huge security risk, because maybe sensible information might be stored via this addon.

The idea is great and if security problem gets fixed I am the first to re-install this addon.

The plugin only queries your canned replies, so unless someone is on your account then they can't read your replies.

Bananlive, any thoughts on how to appoint some of the canned replies to moderators but all of them for me (Admin)?
