[Plugin] Post Templates

[Xikeon]

Hi,

I noticed some people requesting this already so here it is: predefined post templates.

Simply choose boards, write your template in HTML and save the plugin.



Download (v0.0.3):
cl.ly/KmCD/Post%20Templates%20v0.0.3.pbp


Changelog:
v0.0.3
- Removed some left overs from debugging


v0.0.2
- Fixed issue where it added template to a reply rather than new topic.


Do not use the download below, it is outdated

I would like to suggest being able to format the whole posting template instead of using ubbc code in the text area. Is this possible?

What goes in the HTML column?

EDIT: I figured it out, this code allows you to put custom text in the "Message" field on the "New Thread" page. But I want a custom form, with separate boxes on the "New Thread" page. Could you make a plug-in for that? Thanks.

I need this too, it is essential to my project. I already requested it here: support.proboards.com/thread/429322

I think it is possible because there were two codes that did this for V4. They are not compatible with V5 though.

I experimented on the post template and I previewed it and it worked. however I,m not sure how to setup for a plug-in.

Works perfectly for what I wanted thank you!

Is there any way we can make the template entry boxes bigger?

Newbie coder that I am I like to be able to see more of the template text laid out when I'm trying to work it out. Because I get easily confused.

And is there a way that it could also be put in for replies? Or that it was somehow selectable whether to put it in or not?

Cool! Could you please send me the example HTML you used? I can use it for my project, and maybe even convert it to a plug-in.

Yes, I see. Thanks again.

This code is just what I need, but I notice it only works for creating new threads. Would it be possible to amend it so it will work with replies too? I would like to prompt my users to enter their names on each post. Thanks!

[Maiden]

I'd like it to work on replies too, as we'd use it for character sheet submissions which people do in reply to their own character threads.

Is it possible for this code/plugin to have multiple templates per board so people creating the post and replying can choose different ones?

For example, give each template a name where the person posting can click on it for a different code; like in the past version.

Is there anyway this can be used by all members? That is, members can make their own templets say for an RPG site?
