Thanks.
But first of all, I want to get informed about how to migrate my forum from 5.6 --> 7.x php version.

Great, thanks Jan.
Yet, my provider is still in the process of testing php version 7 and they will migrate before the end of this year as support ends for php version 5.6 at 31-12-2018.
While waiting for the migration to come any time soon, I'll give the older version a try and see what it does.
I then will have to upgrade/migrate to the newer version later on.

Would it be possible to make the template definite in a post?
What I mean is that members cannot alter the template during their input (if you know what I mean).

Just in case, use this.

Here, no defaults can be changed by the user.

The users can alter. That's why it's called a template.

I had problems with php 7 and phpbb 3.2 - maybe other extensions crashing the site so I need to run a test checking each mod. The older version (posting template) works for me though.
Very happy with it!

Neither do I, but perhaps ivailo95 would like this extension to be available in all forums, and not (as he thinks) only in forums created after the extension is installed.
As far as I can see, the moment the extension is installed, the Topic Template will automatically be inserted when creating a topic.
There is no point in expanding the extension to add the Topic Template to already existing topic first posts, since it's a template and it would be pointless to add the template without data.

What could be usefull, is a feature allowing including the template when editing an "untemplated" topic_first post. (but for things like that I just have the template in a file open for copying)
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Great extension. Does exactly what it is supposed to, clean, easy to use. If you need a tool to add a template to a topic, or a reply with his other extension, there is no reason not to use this extension.

One small suggestion. Your instructions state
* Create `marttiphpbb/topictemplate` in the `ext` directory.
* Download and unpack the repository into `ext/marttiphpbb/topictemplate`
This is not correct, The Zip file is packed with all files in a direcory 'phpbb-ext-topictemplate-master' and in the case of Reply Template phpbb-ext-replytemplate-master. Just a heads up to change the instructions or the zip.

Many thanks for the great work @martti!

Because it is an Extension Development Tool and as such would not be accepted into the CDB

Yes

It's not a development tool. Maybe you're mixing up with another extension (of me). It could go to RC I think. I haven't seen any bugs since the publishing.

edit: changed to [RC]
