Pre-defined content for newthread/reply. (UPDATED)

Hey,

Somebody needed this so I made this quickly, however I think it's something more people can use and as it's been a long time since my last hack release.
I release this.

What it does.
This hack is good if you want all the threads in a certain forum look a bit the same.
In admincp you can define a text & subject that you want to show standard in certain forums, for certain usergroups when they start a new thread.

Features.
-unlimited pre-defined txts
-Define text & subject for certain forums & certain usergroups.
-Show on newreply and/or newthread
-edit & manage


Planned updates.

Nice, but one glitch.

Could not find phrase 'Please fill in all necessary fields'.

[waza]

ow, well, I think you can guess what was in that phrase, he,
forumids, usergroupids & text are required fields.
If you don't want a text to be active set show on newthread & newreply to no.

nice but nothing shows after creating predefined template either in newthread or newreply both are blank any suggestions

[waza]

Hmz, I tested this on 3 boards so the system works.
However, make sure u have set following things right:
usergroup id's (admins=6)
forum id (when your in a forum: forumdisplay?f=x -> x is the forum id)
make sure show on newthread or show on newreply is set to yes.

yes thanks for quick reply........it was an error on my part and all works great....thanks

ditto. i am having this same problem. When posting a new thread there is no space although in the admincp ive defined extra spaces.

im using 1.5 on vb 3.5.2

Is there a way to alter this extension so that instead of a forum you can declare a category in the settings available in AdminCP? I would like all child forums of chosen categories to have the predefined text. Possible?

[fortnox]

Hi!

Many Thanks for this Modification.

Is this possible that the pre defined text is not shown in reply box?

The pre defined text should be standard and not changable.
