[3.5.4] Personal Notepad

This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board, and which existed for vBulletin 2 as vBPad. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.

1 template edit
1 product to install

Time to install: 1-2 minutes, depending on how fast you can install one product, copy-paste and find something in a template after being tipped about where in the template it is


FEATURES

- Not much in the way of features for something like this... it's just a little personal notepad in the form of a textarea that people can type things into which is shown below all the information about new PMs/subscriptions/etc. in the User CP main page.


INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Make one template edit:

In template USERCP

FIND near the bottom of the template


Code:
<!-- ############## END NEW REPUTATION ############## --></if>

BELOW it add


Code:
<form name="personalnotepad" method="post" action="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><table class="tborder" width="100%" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center"><tr><td class="tcat" align="center">$vbphrase[personal_notepad]</td></tr><tr><td class="alt1" align="center"><textarea name="notepad" rows="7" cols="45">{$vbulletin->userinfo['notepad']}</textarea><input type="hidden" name="do" value="savenotepad" /></td></tr><tr><td class="alt2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[save_notepad]" /></td></tr></table></form>

3. There is no 3. You're done. Go edit your personal notepad. And inform your members what this strange box that just appeared in their user CP is.


VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.1: Fixed small mistake that made the notepad get run twice through htmlspecialchars_uni (basically turning all HTML codes into a garble of &lt; and &gt; ).
Version 1.0: Initial release.
