Save Drafts (Remember Everything) Updated!

My Save Drafts Version 1

Supports: vB 3.0./1/2/3/4/5/6/7 TESTED

MySQL support for Version 4 or higher and now full support for MySQL version 3* to!!!


Overview...

The *Save Draft Sub System* is designed to allow members to save (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) as a draft! This allows for saving a message that you might not be able to finish at the present time, but want to not lose that message!


The *Save Draft System* does more than just *save the message*...

1. Save Message
2. Remembers all form options (icons, subscriptions, disabled this or enabled that)
3. Allows for saving Attachments
4. Allows for unlimited (edits) before posting or sending message
5. Remembers (topic, post, forum you are replying to)
6. UserCP, folder views (lists messages with easy controls to manage all drafts)


Save Drafts Controls (Forum Display)

Save draft controls "Save Draft" and "Folder Views" are only visible to members that have permission to use that control! If a member has saved his/her maximum allowed drafts for a certain folder, then that control is closed. They will not be able access it.

Save Drafts Controls (Admin Display)

Because the Save Draft System, is based not only group permissions, you can limit what groups can do! One group can save all types of messages (new Post, New Replies and New PMs) while the other can only save maybe (New PMs). The control extends it's self the same way for saving (Attachments).

Instead of making a Admin Panel that would very complicated due the nature of multi permissions, I have made the admin panel simple to use, but even with the simplity of the control, the combinations that the control gives you, offers you many options with simple ease of use as it's design logic was intended!

Controls...

Turn the draft system on per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Turn the draft system off per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
On shut down per folder, do what? ( soft shut down [no delete], hard shut down [full delete]) per group
Allow for saving attachment per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Allow for setting a message storage limit per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group [unlimited = 0, ### = maximum message saves allowed]
Allow for original draft date for posting the message! (this is for mods, admins only, should always be set to (no)) (part of the extended panel V2)


This is a difficult mod to install, if you don't feel comfible editing scripts. I will install it for anyone that asks me to! Have any questions just ask!

why-not any word on the update?

[j_86]

Most of the buttons that we need to find (such as)

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" name="preview" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;" />

Do not exist on an unmodifed VB 3.0.7 install.

I have just tried this hack on my test server. For some reason, it works for my new thread and replies but not for my private message.

Also, I get a "onclick="this.form.dopreview = true; return true;"/>" beside my save draft button during posting.

What have I done wrong?

Sounds like a very useful hack .. I was hoping to use it but if you've installed Thread categorys as I have, the template edits would create a problem 'cos the items listed in this hack instruction don't exist any longer.

Any news of version 2 ? I just found this hack, and think it is interesting, but I do not want to install and then have to upgrade in a couple of days.

Given that the V2 announcement was about one month ago, is the author still around?

I too am still very anxious to get this installed... it looks great.

Any progress or updates, why-not?

Thanks,

Sounds like a useful hack, but the installation seems to be quite complicated. it'd be a pain installing, and for some reason, uninstall would be ( ...

writing an installer woldnt be too hard for this one, hope he will have it available with the next release.

Great hack, just installed. One minor suggestion. In the User CP, the phrase "New Posts" should be changed to "New Threads", technically, in vB's lingo a post is a reply.

Minor technicality, but I thought I should let you know.

Also, I do not know why, but after the installation of this hack (and probably because you forced and suggest the rebuilding of the language) all my customized vB phrases were returned to their original state. I had to spend hours again, to re-customize them.

NOT APPRECIATED.
