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.

I'm getting the following warning when going to the settings menu after installing this. Disabled for now.

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: usercp_nav_posttemplate in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3957

You probably need to make sure that the files were ftp'd to the correct folders in ASCii mode.

3beidat - There shouldn't be any collision, strange. Can you point me to the modification so I can download/test them together? Thanks

Trek - Looks like you installed this on a vB4 forum, there's a vB4 version of this (check the first post for the link).

3beidat - I've not been able to replicate the issue so far with permissions, they all seem to be working fine. Could you try rebuilding your bitfields, you can do that by visiting: yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

After that try re-assign permissions and see if it works

you can enable it through Usergroups Manager, select the group you want to give permissions and save changes
