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!

Or is this totally different?

Wasn't aware there was a similar mod like this actually I've not used canned replies but that one seems similar. Not sure if they allow "global" templates to be shared or if you only get access to what you make. They also seem to distinguish templates for different types (pms/infractions/etc..), this will not - it'll simply give you access to all templates available to you to use in all WYSIWYG editors nearly (exception to Quick Edit).

Thanks for the translation Dr.osamA

I don't think I am reading very well this morning lol, but

Which of these scenarios can it create a template for:
* My use only
* Specific usergroup
* Everyone (global)

Or can it do all three of those?

It can do:
- Your use only
- Everyone
- Specific groups

Keep in mind, you can't do "everyone" and "specific groups", it's based on perms for "Who can use global templates". So you can set it up so everyone can use global items, or just specific groups

Pls when I enable plugin I have problem with CMS Editor.I can't edit article



If disable plugin everything work fine.Please can you look for it.Thanks

I don't get it..
I uploaded files on ftp. Imported .xml file, added <!-- POST_TEMPLATES --> in 2 templates (dont have cms), edited global posting rules for registered users, and admins and well - nothing changed! Still I've got previous WYSIWYG editor.

Did I missed something?

[Deceptor]

Bombera - Can you re-check the edit to the template vbcms_editor_toolbar_on? If it wasn't done correctly it may break the template, alternatively you can revert the edit in that template and PT will still work on the forum - I'm still looking up better ways to hook into the editor for now.

eksajlee - Do you have any templates created from your usercp? If you have none the menu won't show
