Personal Notepad · **Released**: 06-01-2006

This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board, and which existed for vBulletin 2 as vBPad. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.

1 template edit
1 product to install

Time to install: 1-2 minutes, depending on how fast you can install one product, copy-paste and find something in a template after being tipped about where in the template it is

FEATURES

- Not much in the way of features for something like this... it's just a little personal notepad in the form of a textarea that people can type things into which is shown below all the information about new PMs/subscriptions/etc. in the User CP main page.

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Make one template edit:

In template USERCP

FIND near the bottom of the template

Code:

<!-- ############## END NEW REPUTATION ##############  -->
</if>

BELOW it add

Code:

<form name="personalnotepad" method="post" action="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
<table class="tborder" width="100%" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center">$vbphrase[personal_notepad]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
<textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="45">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[save_notepad]" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

3. There is no 3. You're done. Go edit your personal notepad. And inform your members what this strange box that just appeared in their user CP is.

VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.1: Fixed small mistake that made the notepad get run twice through htmlspecialchars_uni (basically turning all HTML codes into a garble of < and > ).
Version 1.0: Initial release.

Code:

<div class="smallfont">Your personal notepad can store anything you can think of: notes, memos, half-finished posts, image URLs, quotes you like... Just type it in, save, and access it again here anytime you want.</div>

That's just a description made-up on the spot, so by all means edit it (if you have a board in multiple languages, by all means phrase it too), but that's all you'd have to do. Might add it as a hack feature, but this will have to do for now.

Quoting myself, too.

evesve, good idea. I'll add collapsing to the next version of this.

<div align="center">:surprised:
Sorry but I didn't see it though I checked the thread 4 times.
Anyway,I would love to see this added to the next version.
Thanks.</div>

antialiasis · #34 06-07-2006, 11:14 PM

Yeah, I probably will add it. I think I have a thing for releasing hacks with no user instructions included...

Ah, then you probably just hit the right number of cols. You can't make any assumptions about all forums out there, so I'm not going to put that into the hack by default

I agree.I have another vB which I just set up and added it to it.It worked the same way with or without forum width code for me.Well, It's here in this thread if they want to try it.Thank you again.This hack is useful.I have already had 4 or 5 members tell me how glad they are that I added it.
INSTALLED!!!

Odd. I edited usercp with the added code, saved and plugin uploaded/enabled yet I see nothing in the user area.

This is my usercp

Are you sure you edited it in all your styles?

Chadi · #38 06-09-2006, 10:50 PM

Actually I found it. I was subscribed to about 300 threads and the notepad was burried under the big list

Thanks

Snake · #39 07-19-2006, 09:46 AM

Thank you very much!

Also is it possible to change the content message size to "smallfont"?

X Quiz · #40 07-21-2006, 08:17 AM

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to set a limit for the contents of this Notepad?

Example: 1,000 words.

Because, someone may write lots of words which may damage the SQL!

Muellmann · #41 08-01-2006, 05:06 PM

I like this! I always lost so many in my Clipboard with copy and re-copy.
Now I save temporary in this cool notepad
