New Posting Features - [DBTech] vB Post Templates 1.5.0 [AJAX]

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.

Priority support is handled at the Developers Website @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum

How does it work?

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.

Available Translations

Arabic - v1.5.0 - Thanks to Dr.osamA

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.

As always, enjoy!

Can you provide any details? It works perfectly well for us on 4.1.0 =)

Thanks for all your hard work!

Any chance of further details on this (vb version etc) as on DBTech the editor on the CMS works without any issues.

This works just fine on my 4.1 installation... Not sure what your problem with it might be, but the mod DOES work on 4.1.

[SpikedRocker]

We are running Post Template version 1.5.0, vB 4.1.0 PL 2.



This is what it looks like when I have Post Template enabled. I have reinstalled the mod but no change.

I did have this working when we were on just the Forum version of vB, but when we moved to the Suite this happened.

Do you still have this issue using the default skin?

Also, could you try leaving post templates enabled, and disabling all other mods temporarily (in case there is a conflict somewhere =) )

Sorry for the late reply, Mystics fix helps.

To answer your question though, it did not work on the default style.

Is there any way to enable/disable this brilliant Mod to specific forums?

[KeystoneAirsoft]

Great mod and would love to use it, however it breaks my forums as I have no editor section to type in the content.

Please see pic below. This is default vBulletin style too (vBulletin 4.0.8 Patch Level 2)
