Add-on Looking for: default input customized per forum section

[Wyvh]

Greetings,
Dunno if it already exists, but if someone could make the follow add-on:

When you create a thread in forum X, the message textarea will automatically contain/append "Y".
If you create a thread in forum Z, the message textarea will automatically contain/append "T".

If it does already exist, please let me know.

I have an add-on that sounds like it'll do what you need: https://github.com/NixFifty/XenForo-ThreadStencil

Hey there,
No readme nor any screenshot. May I see what it looks like and what it exactly does ? :l

Not really much to it.

You fill out the 'stencil' text on a per-forum basis via the ACP:

To view this content we will need your consent to set third party cookies.
For more detailed information, see our cookies page.

Accept third party cookies

Then when someone tries to create a thread in that forum, that text is prefilled in to the message field:

To view this content we will need your consent to set third party cookies.
For more detailed information, see our cookies page.

That's perfect. Thanks a lot, NixFifty.

Hi @NixFifty..I installed the add-on (atleast I think I did - I copied the files from the upload folder into my root area and then added the xml from Admin area in my website) but I don't see where how I can add the stencil. You said it's in the ACP which I am assuming is the Admin Control Panel. I don't see any option in it to do that. Can you guide me here, please? I am pretty new to xenforo itself btw..so maybe I am missing something.

I am looking to add a pretty elaborate template here - a table like structure with different headers, and room to fill out text. I am hoping that kind of thing will work with this - please let me know if it won't. Thanks!

Go to Admin Panel -> Applications -> Display Node Tree

From there, select the forum you want to add the stencil to and use the editor that appears to add your stencil content.

Looks like that's working. Thanks for the fast reply! And thanks for coding this!
