vB Post Templates
This is a conversion of the mod I originally developed for vBulletin 3.8.x located here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=199869), due to popular request I've updated it to work fully with vBulletin 4.
Professional version & feature list available @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forum)
Priority support for Lite version is handled at the Developers Website.
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.
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! http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
