Banana I need help in two things:

1) How do I make it that it shows the link in UserCP only to those usergroups that can use Canned replies? I have that "Icons for UserCP" modification and I did the manual template edit but the link is showing for everyone. I need some kind of if-conditional to only show it to allowed people.

2) How can I make it to use the edited UserCP shell also when I'm on cannedreplies.php ??
See the screens for better explanation.

1. My usercp shell after manually adding the link:



2. After clicking "Edit Canned Replies" ( = being in cannedreplies.php):

Ok I managed to do #1 myself, just added this if condition:

<if condition="$permissions['cannedreplies'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['cannedreplies']['canusecr']">

[the link here]

</if>

But I still need your help for the second request. I need those icons for the UserCP even whem I'm on cannedreplies.php page.

---edit---

The UserCP shell is still the default one whem I'm on cannedreplies.php page. Which template should I edit to make it with the icons?


The template I need it to use is 'USERCP_SHELL_ICONS' not 'USERCP_SHELL' like usually.

Open cannedreplies.php and replace all USERCP_SHELL with USERCP_SHELL_ICONS

Bananalive, if it won't take up too much of your time could you look at making the canned reply insert rather than overwrite?, the problem is if i quote a post then click a canned reply it overwrites the quoted post, right now i copy the post add the canned reply then paste the post back, i didn't mind at first but it's becoming a pain to do now

If it is a lot of work/trouble then don't worry.

It depends on the browser whether it replaces it or inserts it.

i thought that but i use both firefox and IE and when quoting a post using the quote button or typing anything in the reply box it will be entirely replaced by the canned reply when you click canned reply,

Like i said if its a pain don't waste your time over it!
