Using items in Posts

[Tsenzori Yu]

Would it be possible to set up a modification or addition where the user could click a drop down list of their items when they are going to post. They would be able to then select the item and place it into their post. (or just click on it and it activates a switch of some kind)

This would in turn deduct the item from the inventory and return a statement at the end of the post that a) The item was used and b) that it has been depleted.

Essentially, this would mean that items could be used within posts and since I run a role-playing forum I think it would be a great addition.

This seems like an actual good idea.

Thanks for your reply to my thread and the revival of an idea that would be otherwise consigned to oblivion. 

I'll have fun discussing the idea if anyone chooses to do so.

well, I figure that no one on this site is even paying attention to SMF shop anymore.

Such a shame...mebbe we'll just have to drag them back .

SMF is by far the best system under VBulletin (I think, I think SMF us the best but I've heard good things from VB) and this Shop Mod was/is the only Shop mod that actually worked for me without requiring too much recoding (if any).

I'll never use anything other than SMF, ever.

I know that feeling. After initially working with phpbb I've found SMF to be a lot cleaner and by far better executed.
