Is this like a "canned reply" (pre-defined post content) that gets inserted into the textarea with javascript?

Yes Igor, I use the insert_text function of phpBB3. This MOD allows admin to create for example moderation posts, that a user authorized, in my example a moderator, will be abble to use in his post.

By default, the user will have a dropdown list of all models which he will be abble to use in his default language.
To change the language, I use Ajax techonology in order not to reload completely the page

Okay, that's cool! I planned on creating something this myself once. In fact my mind was changed by John Hjorth. I was talking to him about canned messages, and he said he didn't like them, because they make moderation less personal. And i have to agree. But that's a personal opinion and in some cases canned messages can definately make sense.

Ooh, ajax. I would however suggest you preload the data and use javascript only. I'd only use ajax if it's too expensive to preload it, which is not really the case here. The thing is that using ajax is quite complex, so it should be avoided. Mind you, i havn't seen the code yet, this is just a general thought of mine.

Hi all,

Following the first validation on phpBB.com, this MOD proceed to v1.0.1.
