[Kays]

Sorry for the long disappearance. 

Thanks for the translation Dr. Deejay. And for the compliment Jessica.

I've just updated the mod for 2.0 final incorporating as many hooks as possible. In doing so it was also possible to add the option to place the menu button where you wish on the menu bar. The button can also be placed as a sub-button of an existing menu button.

@ CapadY, If you have finally updated to 2.0 final. This should work properly for you now. There doesn't seem to be a problem with sub-buttons in a sub-menu in my testing.

[phoenixphyre]

Is there a way to add options for other menus? I have split the main menu into two different parts and I would prefer to have the notepad button on the other one like I had been able to with an older version, but can't figure out how to add that option in this version.

[Kays]

Dang, I thought that I had covered all possibilities.

Open Subs-Notepad.php and find the following:

Code Select Expand


function NotepadButton(&$menu_buttons)
{


After that add:

Code Select Expand


    return;


This will disable that function so the buttons won't show.

Then add the button manually to your menu as you did previously.

Code Select Expand


'notepad' => array(
'title' => $txt['notepad'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=notepad',
'show' => $context['allow_notepad'],
'target' => $context['browser']['is_firefox'] ? '_new' : '_blank',
'sub_buttons' => array(
'notes_popup' => array(
'title' => $txt['notes_popup'],
'href' => 'javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open(\'' . $scripturl . '?action=notepad\',\'PopupWindow\',\'height=625,width=750,scrollbars=1,resizable=1\');return false;',
'show' => $context['allow_notepad'],
),
),
),


Don't forget to add the following to where the permissions are defined.

Code Select Expand


$context['allow_notepad'] = allowedTo('use_notepad') && !empty($modSettings['notepad_enable_use']);
.

[phoenixphyre]

works beautifully! Thanks Kays!

Is it possible to have a link for the notepad displayed in the member's profile?

Also, would it be possible to assign other membergroups to have the ability to both view and edit any other member's notepad?

[Kays]

Hi, the latest version will allow you to place the button just about anywhere on the menu.

Also, would it be possible to assign other membergroups to have the ability to both view and edit any other member's notepad?

Since the notes are private and not public viewable. I have no intention to do this.

Maybe on your forum they are private, but what I want to do on my forum, which is a RP site where characters take classes, is use this to list the classes that characters have passed.  The member would be able to see their own list, but my staff members would have the ability to add passed classes to each member's list, as well as check this list to ensure a character has met the requirements for level advancement.

If you don't plan on adding this functionality to this mod, could you create a new mod that satisfies these requirements?

[Kays]

There is another notepad mod where it is viewable by admins also. Have you looked at that one?

[cloksin]

I looked at the other ones, they don't suit my fancy.  I like the look of yours better.  Plus, the other ones only allow admins to view members notepads, I need to be able to select which member groups have that permission.

[Kays]

Sorry about the delay, I had to give this some thought. It is an interesting idea and I'm a bit intrigued. But I don't have the time at present to get into it.

My thought is to add an option to make a note public. If public, then there will be a need for moderation. But only for public notes. The easiest way to access a public note would be through a link in the member's profile on the left menu. I can make it so the title there is configurable. When notes are viewed by the public the page will remain the same except with no edit buttons and with the textarea disabled.

Would something like this need your requirements?

[cloksin]

Sorry for MY delay, its been a very hectic week.

Perfect

As for the public view of the notes, I'd like to be able to assign which membergroups can see the public notes, instead of just everyone (only staff members should be able to see notes other than their own).  Also, to prevent people from adding completions to try to attain higher levels without actually completing the tasks, I'd like to be able to assign certain membergroups the permission to edit other people's notes, with a tag below the entry indicating who it was that made the entry, that way a staff member could edit a player's notes when completing a class, and other staff members can confirm its legit by seeing the staff member's screen name next to the note.

[mariusfv]

On mod page if u parse : ERROR!! This mod will not install on your version of SMF (both versions).

I try to install on 2.0 rc5(on mod page in description appear that is compatible)...when I try to install the same error: ERROR!! This mod will not install on your version of SMF.

Solution's  ?

[Brother Bill]

Just added the mod to our board (ver. 2.0.2), installed without a hitch. Very pleased with the new feature. Excellent work Kays.

If possible, adding in the ability to hide the notes from the member.

The ability to give user groups permissions (such as moderators) to add notes and view on 'problem members' in order to track and find patterns of behavior.

Hey again Kays. So I'm of course changing things around again and I can't seem to remember exactly where I put the allow_notepad code last time to get it to work without an error message...

Code Select Expand


$context['allow_notepad'] = allowedTo('use_notepad') && !empty($modSettings['notepad_enable_use']);


[Kays]

I think that should go wherever you are adding the additional buttons. Probably Subs.php.

[Arantor]

In the template that this mod uses, please add support for it checking $context['theme_variant'] in the CSS call to index.css.

A la

Code Select Expand

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/css/index', $context['theme_variant'], '.css" />';

This will add compatibility for themes like DzinerStudio's newBalance theme which comes with multiple variants.

[Kays]

Done and updated. Thanks for that.
