New Posting Features - [AJAX] vB Post Templates 1.5.0

vB Post Templates

vB4 Version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=242246

This modification adds an extension to your User CP, and posting interface. Both which allow you to pre-create "Post Templates". This is useful for repetitive posts, such as common replies to commonly answered questions.

A quick example would be here on vBulletin.org, all the moderators post nearly the same reply to users who are unlicensed, with this modification they would only need to insert a post template in their User CP, and then they could easily push that template into any post, quickly.

Ofcourse this could be used as an actual "Template", for users who make certain posts that are always constructed in some way or form, an example for that could be people who release modifications who like to structure their first post, and generally try to do universally.

Another use would be simply storing common responses or phrases, and you'd simply be able to push them into posts quickly without typing them


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, 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 template, into your post!



Features

• Fully Integrates into vBulletin WYSIWYG editor
• Unlimited amount of categories/templates allowed.
• Fast template inclusion, through AJAX.

Simon - Are you running the latest vB 3.8 version? Everything seems to work fine here.

jam3ty - Not sure what you mean, the templates are saved just like posts are saved, and it shows you haven't downloaded this so not sure how you're experiencing a problem with it

Yes i'm using 3.8.5, when making a post and the mod is enabled i can oly click the attach paperclip once, without the mod i can click the attach paperclip and attach whatever then click the dropdown arrow next to it and add the attachment inline, with the mod enabled all i can do is add one attachment via the paperclip and nothing more, however i can still use the manage attachment button but of course that doesn't allow you to add the attachment inline.

I just re-enabled the mod to make sure this is the case and it still is.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look and see If I can replicate

Thanks for great mod..
I have another product that using posttemplate TABLE, and when i go to usercp and try to access Post Templates it says you don't have a permission to access this page.
If i disable the other product every thing works well and i can access Post Templates through usercp!! any ideas please?

Have you setup permissions correctly? If another modification is using the same permissions bitfield there may be collision.
