[AJAX] vB Forum Titles AJAX Editor 1.0.1

[Deceptor]

vB Forum Titles AJAX Editor

This is a simple modification that will allow forum administrators to quickly edit forum titles, including categories. This works on both forum home and forum display pages, and operates just like ajax thread title editing, simply double click on the forum cell and the editor will pop up allowing you to change the title.


Note
Please be aware that on some skins this may not be functional, I've done my best to ensure that compatability with all styles is possible, but there may still be a problem or two for those with heavily changed styles. Should you believe this is occuring to you, let me know below and I'll do my best to help.


Change Log

Version 1.0.1
- Fixed unicode character issues, such as ??, etc..


Screenshots below, enjoy :)

[KevinL]

Now this couls be very useful!

Thanks.

[SteamyLightning]

Could you set an option for mandatory password verification? It would be useful to prevent accidental editing of forum titles.

[Forum Lover]

Wonder it goes for thread titles too. :) Tagged.

[Deceptor]

Forum Lover - Thread titles already have AJAX edits, that is standard vBulletin functionality.

SteamyLightning - I'll see what I can do, I have enabled the ability to use the Esc/Escape key so that if it's accidently triggered Esc will ignore any changes and get out of the edit phrase.

[Stoebi]

Wonderful, thank you very much.

It is possible to integrate the AJAX feature for forum discription also, please?

Regards,

Stoebi

[Deceptor]

Stoebi - I have considered it, the only issue is really the editor is init'd when the forum cell is double clicked, which can be anywhere, so how to tell between description/forum title would be a little odd, I'd probably have to make it so you directly double clicked the forum description text to make that editor pop-up. I guess that isn't so bad :)

I'll try push that into an update.

[Stoebi]

Great, very good idea. :)

BTW:
Merry Christmas :)

[Deceptor]

Merry Christmas to you too :)

[Deceptor]

Thanks Alot >> But It Does Not Work With Arabic Names
Do the normal AJAX thread edits (default vB functionality) work with AJAX on your language?

[raviteja542]

xcellent hack...i really like this

[ARB4HOSTING.COM]

Do the normal AJAX thread edits (default vB functionality) work with AJAX on your language?
Yes,of course

[Deceptor]

Can you give me some example text that you used that didn't work, and the charset of your forums language? :)

Thanks.

[Deceptor]

Version 1.0.1 released, this fixes a small bug concerning unicode issues :)

[KURTZ]

deceptor, just a question: why this hack doesn't run onto the subforums?

[Deceptor]

KURTZ - It does, unless you mean the sub forums show as mini-links inside an existing forum cell? But if you go into forumdisplay, and see the subforums there, double clicking next to the sub forum name should bring up the editor :)

[KURTZ]

dude, i just saw that your hack puts over my forum index 30 queries ... too many ... :( so i uninstall your hack ... sorry ... hope you can fix it in the next release ...

cya

[Deceptor]

I'm sorry? This modification adds 0 queries to anything, the only query it does execute is when an AJAX request is sent to edit a forum title.

Please get your facts straight before making claims.

i've installed your hack and now i've 56 queries onto the forumhome ... without this hack i've normally 26 queries ... i can saw this thing cause i've enabled the debug mode ... ;)

[R-D]

i've installed your hack and now i've 56 queries onto the forumhome ... without this hack i've normally 26 queries ... i can saw this thing cause i've enabled the debug mode ... ;)

That'll be Hasann's "Username HTML Markup" mod, not this one.

I'm sorry? This modification adds 0 queries to anything, the only query it does execute is when an AJAX request is sent to edit a forum title.I just confirmed this on my main board - absolutely no queries added, unless you edit a forum title. :up:

[jayfenney]

I can't for the life of me get this to work. All AJAX features are enabled on my board, and editing of thread titles works fine. I've installed and re-installed this mod but absolutely no luck. I've got a number of mods installed on my board, any changes I've made to my skin (which started out life as the standard vB skin) have been cosmetic changes, colour changes and so on. Any advice on what the problem could be?

[Teknik4]

thank you nice mod ;)

[yingzhou]

very useful hack. Thanks.

[kpa4941]

I use the greenfox skin from vbstyles.com and it doesn't work. I also get a javascript error on the bottom left of IE7 saying: 'this.span.innerHTML' is null or not an object

You said that this may happen on heavily changed styles.

[Farsisat]

thanks.install
if anybody can made for subforum edit is the usefull and best plugin.

[Dj Sagi]

i download this file and it is dont work it is say that the file is dont work...

[DJ_Rguez]

This hack does not work

[tirol07]

Thank you for this usefull hack, it work in the kategory but not on forumhome!
Can you help me please?

[GhoHan]

This mod just edit Forum title only?
How about forum description??

Thanks i hope this mod also doing that for forum description... :)
but this a good idea.

[Naxon]

doesn't work for me...

[Dj Sagi]

it is with so much bugs it is change only category titles and i cant change forums title

[Phalynx]

Nice one, thanks.

[Mdrop]

Is there a option that you add a function to change the post-icon in ajax?

[Spikeman]

Did not think this would work for me with my modded customised skin, but it does perfect, good job, thanks.

[DJ XtAzY]

Does not work if vbseo installed

[LGKeiz]

great addon, but can you make it so we can edit descriptions, and also edit threads in FORUMDISPLAY? not only FORUMHOME

[supLaditOz]

This is easy to change forums and category great job

Installed!

[LGKeiz]

This doesn't work with vbseo..

[dutchbb]

Doesn't work here, also using vbseo.

vBulletin should make this default!

[Floris]

I would install this, if it would also does:
* forum description editing,
* project tools title / descriptions,
* and works with vBSEO.
Nice addon :)

[tldagent]

Excellent Hack. Nominated MOTM. Great find, thanks for sharing.

[derzok]

Hack does not work with forum titles that have single quotes (') in them. To fix, add:


function vbaddslashes (str) {
return (str+'').replace(/[\\"']/g, '\\$&').replace(/\u0000/g, '\\0');
}


to the clientscript. Then change:


eval("element." + a + " = " + ((parseInt(attributes[a]) == attributes[a]) ? attributes[a] : "'" + attributes[a] + "'") + ";");


to


eval("element." + a + " = " + ((parseInt(attributes[a]) == attributes[a]) ? attributes[a] : "'" + vbaddslashes(attributes[a]) + "'") + ";");


in the same file

[sinpin]

Nice idea, thanks

[Rafael?]

thanks, installed on vb 3.8.7!

[Xexiu]

I'm using this hack for a very long time!

Is it posible to change attributes ID with CLASSES?

I saw that the code above its calling an ID, I would like to switch to "class" in order to:

<span id="forumtitle_ajax_$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</span>

can be:

<span class="forumtitle_ajax_$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</span>

I'd had a look inside the javascript and observed this:

if (spans[s].id && spans[s].id.substr(0, 16) == 'forumtitle_ajax_')
{
this.spans[spans[s].id.replace('forumtitle_ajax_', '')] = spans[s];
this.seek_parent(spans[s], 'td').ondblclick = vB_AJAX_Forumlist.forum_doubleclick;
}

How can I change from .id to .class?? Is it posible? I'm not a javascript expert so I dont know much about it.

Any help, will be appreciated.

Thanks.
