Caching posts.

[nuraman00]

Is there a plugin which can cache and restore posts within a thread that were lost due to a browser cache or server error when submitting the post?

Hi, nuraman00.

Enabling drafts in Profile > Edit Profile > Settings is meant to serve this purpose. The post you're currently composing is periodically saved to your browser's local storage and you're prompted to restore it if you return to the same posting page you were on.

I see it now. I wish it hadn't been disabled by default.

As I lost a post that took me 20-30 mins to type during the web server outage earlier today.

nuraman00 , Chris provided a script to put in your Global Header that will enable draft saving by default for you and your members. We have it on our forum and it works great.

<!-- Force Proboards Autosave to "on" -->
<script>
(function () {
if (!pb.data('enable_autosave') || !pb.data('type')) {
pb.data('enable_autosave', 1)
if (pb.data('proboards.message')) {
pb.data('type', 6)
}
if (pb.data('proboards.post')) {
pb.data('type', 3)
}
if ("visualHtml" in proboards.dataHash || "bbcode_message" in proboards.dataHash) {
switch (pb.data('route').name) {
case "quote_messages":
case "new_message":
pb.data('type', 5);
break;
case "new_conversation":
pb.data('type', 4);
break;
case "quote_posts":
case "new_post":
pb.data('type', 2);
break;
case "new_thread":
pb.data('type', 1);
break;
}
}
}
})()

</script>

Thanks.  I'll ask the members of my forum if they want this by default, then enable it if enough say so.

Sure. But as you said above, "I wish it hadn't been disabled by default."

It's why I chose to add it. It's better to have it enabled by default than not. Most members don't even know it's there until it's needed and it's too late.

How do I get to the global header?  Is that the same as "Forum Wrapper"?  And does it go in the head or the body?
