Auto Save Post

[Midnight Modding]

This is probably too resource intensive and not going to happen, but it would be interesting to have drafts of posts and topics saved every x amount of time and then stored somewhere in the settigns area if it's not posted.

I don't know if it would be worth the trouble to make that, but obviously at least for email it is standard.

I'm torn on this one. As a user, I'd love to have it. As an administrator, no way in hell I want that on my server. If there was a way to make it localized to the user's machine, I'd be all over it. But not if it's server side.

This is already a feature of IP.Board 3.2. If you leave the editor open for a certain amount of time, anything typed in it will be saved.

You cannot store multiple drafts or anything like that, but this should help if you get up from your computer and return later, or if your browser crashes while you are typing out a very long post.

Ok, you've made me curious. What amount of time might that be? :)

Not sure how CKeditor does it, but there is no reason this should be hard on the server because there is no reason to involve the server. Saving the text in a cookie should do the trick.

We don't save it to a cookie - it's saved to the database.

As for the autosaving, I believe it's 2 minutes.
