@Liam W - your site is not loading

It is working now

Awesome.. since you added the option to close a thread & add prefix I figured move a thread would still be the same concept. It could be useful to have a pre-defined response in post macros saying that the thread is not acceptable and is being moved to the trash/arquive forum.. Saving moderators some time in the process.

Liam, just wanted to know if you thought about this.. would really like this feature to move a thread to another forum after posting a macro.

Also, not sure if this is a bug or not, but with the lastest version 4.3.0 if you set the selector mode to "Embedded". It only shows 4 macros, and I have quite a bit.



Thanks!

The embedded list can scroll, it's just the editor styling doesn't make it look like it can.

Hi,

I've just purchased this addon. Is this still supported and developed? As I've tested, the prefix I've selected isn't added to the thread when selecting the appropriate macro reply.

The prefix is added when the thread is posted. If not, I'll have to look into it.

Depending on the macro I want to assign the prefix to the thread.

Example:
Macro "Bug fixed" tells the thread opener that the bug is fixed and applies the prefix "Fixed"
Macro "Bug closed" tells the thread opener that the bug is closed and applies prefix "Closed".

I believe this should work when posting a reply to an existing thread, not only when posting the thread

Yeah, it should work. I'm assuming the prefixes are assigned to the forum you're using the macro in? If not, do that first

If they are, I'll look into it next week (when I've handed in my coursework).

Yep, it is. Manually setting it works.

Awesome, thank you. And good luck with your coursework!

In correlation with my problem above, a setting "Move thread to forum [x]" would be neat. So fixed bugs would be pasted the correct macro, applied the correct prefix and automatically being moved to the "Fixed" forum, for example.

Furthermore the macros are not sorted in the post dialog, despite having selected a Display Order.

Oh, and macro groups would be nice to be able to group them (much like prefixes or emoticons). For example "Bug Macros", "Feature Macros" and "Suggestion Macros".

Hi @Liam W : Any progress on that? I've found a smiliar add-on which has got all the features for a much smaller price... You got any spare time to invest into your add-on?

 

[Sunka]

@Liam W - there is a bug. When you create thread, title of thread is changing to macro title when you use macro in first post.

 

[Liam W]

I have permanently reduced the cost of this add-on.

Do you intend to invest a bit more time into this add-on for bugfixes and features like mentioned above?

The thread prefixes are working on both my dev site and XF Liam. When creating a thread, the prefix selector won't change, but the prefix will be applied when the thread is posted if the prefix is assigned to the forum the thread is in/being created in.

The version I just released fixes the tokens. That was a strange issue arising from a bug fix.

When you say not sorted, do you mean the embedded mode is not adhering to the admin macro display orders?

if me as an admin I create an admin macro, my moderators/staff can use it without being admins?
