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.
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.
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.
I have a strange issue. In one of my external mod I use the editor. The post template appears in it, which is fine by me. However, when I do a Preview post, entire editor disappears. Any idea what could be causing that? I have no problems when I disable mod. Is there something I need to add to my mod to prevent that while using Post Templates?
Hey Lionel - PT will implement itself automatically into all editors by default (using the standard vB method), is there something you do differently with the editor when you preview a post?
Any way of forcing an Admin to globally force the using of these templates for certain forums? I'd like to set up a global template, which everyone MUST use if they create a new thread in a specific forum (but not for replies to threads).
Hi, was there a fix for CMS? When using Post Templates the textarea disappears and article creation is no longer possible. Not a big deal for me as I only create article once per section and never touched again after publication. So I simply disable the product and re enable after I put in my content.
I thought I'd mention it to you, as I am strongly recommending your product to my customers who are using my Priority Support option.
This is perfect, so useful...but I don't know if maybe I don't see the option, or something like that, but if someone (not the autor) wants to edit a global template...they can't do it.
It would be very important to have that ability into the admin panel at least
