Mini Mods - GTPosting Rules: Posting Rules near editor [Archive]

Princeton

10-16-2006, 10:00 PM

Custom modification brought to you by Joe Velez (aka Princeton vbulletin.org Admin).

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that makes us happy: :)

GTPosting Rules is a NO TEMPLATE EDITS mod to display Posting Rules near the editor. This mod will add the Posting Rules to all editors including quickreply and quickedit. Take a look at the following attachments if you do not understand what I mean.

Show your support and click Mark As Installed, Nominate For MOTM, or Support Developer.

All you have to do is upload the "product-gtpostingrules.xml" file via the Plugins & Products System.

No template edits required.

by Princeton, GO-TOTAL LLC, Vineland, NJ USA

To exclude rules from showing up under the editor, open the GTPR: Process Rules: editor_toolbar_end plugin and add the THIS_SCRIPT value of page to the $excludegtprules array.

History:

v 1.1.2 : Fixed Quick Edit problems and added option to exclude specific pages.
v 1.1.1 : Fixed Template Edit Error
v 1.1.0 : Fixed rules from displaying in Edit Signature.
v 1.0.0 : Missing template in xml.

Just installed; can't seem to find admin controlls for it.

Am I missing something?

ChurchMedia

10-18-2006, 02:10 AM

I don't see where any admin controls would be installed in the XML file -- so there aren't any. But it's still not moving the rules for me. I may just manually do it since it's a great idea. :)

I wonder what other plugin would be interfering with this one?

Princeton please fix the thumbnails so we can see it.

They aren't thumbnails.

He meant the thumbnails in the screen shots in his post.

I'll click install and wait for an update I suppose.

Is there meant to be by default a way to change what the rules are?

InTeNsE-HuMoR

10-18-2006, 06:35 PM

Doesn't seem to be working for me. :cry: Maybe because I am using a custom style or have a mod conflicting? Other than that, it would have been a great edition to my site if it would work.

Princeton

10-19-2006, 11:29 AM

reuploaded a new file ... was missing the template

If you have a custom style the product's search/replace may not work. For those of you who have this problem, I have added instructions on how to do this manually: Product_GTPostRules_MANUAL_installation.txt

ChurchMedia

10-19-2006, 11:33 PM

The new product works perfectly in VB, but unfortunately it breaks the quick reply in PhotoPost. I'll go the manual route.

Thanks for this cool idea!

This is a great hack, I installed it, working smoothly.

By the way what if we could link Rules and Regulation or Posting rules in this hack, that would make it complete.

As some user might see the posting rule when they click on the posting rule they would be redirected to the rules and regulation of the forum page just like vb codes :D

nice work but one thing is there anyway to get this not to show when a user edits there sig? for example I allow smileys in sigs and its saying there turned off. Its the same way here on this site.

criscokid

01-13-2007, 09:12 AM

I'd love to see this as standard in Vb - at the moment it's in an extra box lower down the page... that extra block should be deleted as it just makes the page look unnecessarily cluttered.

Princeton

01-13-2007, 06:41 PM

yep, but the manual installation was also included; so, not sure which one you used

uninstall the product ... if you did a manual installation the posting rules would be visible; otherwise it will not exist

KURTZ

01-13-2007, 07:47 PM

the previously (maybe 1.0.0? but in my ACP i saw 1.0.1) ...

now i unistalled your hack from my products manager, but i dont remember if i do some template edits ...

da420

01-13-2007, 09:59 PM

Thanks Princeton...

Seems to work fine everywhere but the quick editor. Did the quick editor template edit, and whenever I do a quick edit, no text shows up in the editor box. I revert that template, and it works fine without the posting rules though. Until that is fixed, I will continue to have this installed, just without the quick edit template edit. :P

you made a mistake in your manual installation

FIND IN postbit_quickedit:
$newpost[message]</textarea>

REPLACE WITH:
</textarea></div>
<div class="smallfont" align="center"><strong>$vbphrase[posting_rules]</strong>:
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode" 2="$bbcodeon">$vbphrase[vb_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showsmilies" 2="$smilieson">$vbphrase[smilies_are_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode#imgcode" 2="$imgcodeon">$vbphrase[img_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="$htmlcodeon">$vbphrase[html_code_is_x]</phrase>
</div>

you should not remove $newpost[message] in your edit becuase if you try to edit your post it will be blank

thanks for the heads up one of my mods told me about it and was having that problem but when adding that $newpost[message] it seem to solve the problem i think that Manuel script install probably a typo.

Thanks :)

good catch ... I've updated the zip file Jan 15th for those interested.

StarBuG

01-20-2007, 09:29 PM

Because the product did not work for me (rules showed up above the editor and below the editor buttons like bold)
I did the manual install and discovered a few errors in your txt file.

I have attached a working version with these errors corrected.

I have also moved the rules inside the editor when writing with the advanced editor because of consistency, this is also included into this txt.
However, I don't know if this will conflict with your smiley below editor mod, cause I don't use it.

So use my modification in "editor_toolbar_on" at your own risk!

Thank you for this nice Hack

In your manual install you have this

FIND IN showthread_quickreply:

dir="$stylevar[textdirection]"></textarea>
</if>
</div>

REPLACE WITH:

dir="$stylevar[textdirection]"></textarea>
</if>
<div class="smallfont" align="center"><strong>$vbphrase[posting_rules]</strong>:
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode" 2="$bbcodeon">$vbphrase[vb_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showsmilies" 2="$smilieson">$vbphrase[smilies_are_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode#imgcode" 2="$imgcodeon">$vbphrase[img_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="$htmlcodeon">$vbphrase[html_code_is_x]</phrase>
</div></div>

ok now if you do it that way it will show the rules on top of the textarea the way I changed it to show on the bottom like this site was this

FIND IN showthread_quickreply:
dir="$stylevar[textdirection]"></textarea>
</if>
</div>

Add Under it:
<div class="smallfont" align="center"><strong>$vbphrase[posting_rules]</strong>:
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode" 2="$bbcodeon">$vbphrase[vb_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showsmilies" 2="$smilieson">$vbphrase[smilies_are_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bbcode#imgcode" 2="$imgcodeon">$vbphrase[img_code_is_x]</phrase>,
<phrase 1="$htmlcodeon">$vbphrase[html_code_is_x]</phrase>

From the looks of it you broke some code in the template because you edited it incorrectly. Revert the template and try it again.

Request (to complement this):

can you add the edit to have the regular posting rules (at the bottom of forums) COLLAPSED BY DEFAULT?

I've actually always wanted that thing moved or less in an awkward spot (or collapsed)...this mod gives the perfect excuse to do so. :)

GREAT MOD but I too am having the same issue with the rules being placed above the quick edit box just like Dotara. I've installed this mod manually and with the .xml file. In both cases, it's the same.

I'm ok with it either way, but I would PREFER to have it below the quick edit box just like the others. :)

Anyone who have problem with photopost, follow Princeton instructions, your exclude array will look like this:

This is what I am reffering to, will the new version work with 3.6.4 as it also gives me the same problem as per the quote above.

Silvio

07-01-2007, 11:23 AM

why don't you put posting rules into the box in this template (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=54807&d=1161174330), like in the other screenshots? I think it will look better under the smilies
Yes i agree! then an issue with photopost will also disappear.
infact this mod is not confortable (or opposite - donno) with PP562, if u try to write a comment with full vb integration, then the comment pane will disappear on PP. I did many trials and the conflict is with this hack.
Pls Princeton can u illuminate us how to fix it. regards.

I'm having a problem because my background is black but my editor is standard gray. When the posting rules appear in the editor the non-linked part is always white on gray because smallfont is set that way. When the posting rules are not part of the editor it works perfectly because it's white font on a black background.

Can you suggest a solution to this?

Just started a new forum and had the same problem as others - where it looks like , Smilies are On, HTML is Off etc. I remembered having this problem before - the fix is in this thread - right here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1480104&postcount=101) - so edit the xml file before you import it :)
