Profile Enhancements - Personal Notepad

This is a port of my previous Personal Notepad hack for vBulletin 3.5, with some added features and modifications that had been requested. It now makes use of template hooks and is placed in a more convenient location for users.

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

1 automatic template edit
1 product to install

FEATURES

- A notepad in members' main user CP area where they can type in whatever notes they may want to take down and save them
- Notepad can be resized
- Javascript for allowing users to see when they have exceeded the character limit
- Admin CP options (turn on/off, maximum input length, liquid/fixed width, width of fixed-width notepad, usergroups allowed to use notepad)
- No manual template edits
- Fully phrased for easy translation

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Edit the Personal Notepad options in the vBulletin options if desired. (It is automatically turned on upon installation, so if you want to start using it right away without worrying about the options, you can.)
3. There is no 3. You're done. Go inform your members of the addition.

VERSION HISTORY

3.1: Saved space in liquid-width notepad by putting character counter and textbox size changers in the same line, phrased some stuff that was forgotten and added usergroup limitations in the admin options.
3.0: Tweaks for fitting better with the look of vBulletin, cached template, Javascript counter for character limit, made notepad collapsible, added version history.
2.0: Ported to 3.6, added resizing function and admin CP options.
1.0: Initial release.

I posted it over at vbulletin.com as well (vBulletin 3.6.10 Release Discussion). This is the answer I was given.

Great news! Zero Tolerance wrote a nice little hack that fixed the problem I was having with the Personal Notepad & Event Attendance mods. Check it out --> Link

In the xml

Find:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" />

And add below it:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

and that will fix the security token error.

Thanks Boofo...that worked perfectly! I still need Zero's hack for the "Event Attendance" mod, but the Notepad works great without it. I appreciate your help.

In the "Event Attendance"

Find:

<input type="hidden" name="e" value="$eventinfo[eventid]" />

BELOW it add:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Excellent...that worked great! Zero's hack is now disabled and my "Personal Notepad" & "Event Attendance" mods are working perfectly.

Thanks again Boofo :up:

Is there a way to add a default message to this like IPB does that explains what you can use this for?

Perfect. For those who want to edit pre-existing installations, make the same edits in the "personal_notepad" template.
