History
======
I've made this hack because, although we all have signatures to put a custom tag on our posts, I often use a short name sig on a lot of my posts as well.
Typing [ b]w00[ /b] was becoming tedious after a while, and I thought it would be good to have a quick-key shortcut to do it for me.

The Custom button can be used by clicking it, or the shortcut key [Alt+m]. It will insert the text to your message the same as a smilie is, at the end of the message. To change your custom text, goto your UserCP -> Options, down the bottom.

Contained in the .zip file are two images, and instructions.txt (this file)

How about a drop down box so you can have multiple items in it? :)

UPDATED!

Hi guys. Just to let you know Custom Button is now version 1.1. I've added support for the Calendar. Before, if you look went to post an event on the calendar there's a missing argument error, and the button doesn't work. This is fixed in v1.1.

Regards.

Hi Boofo.
That's a possibility, thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently looking at also making it multi-line, but it doesn't seem to like it because of the inserting using JS.

[Boofo]

Great! I'll be looking forward to it. :) Also, if you made a drop down box, you really wouldn't need multi-line. They can use as many lines from there as they need. :)

Sorry about this, but I've updated again to 1.2, now includes instructions for private.php because it didn't work with the PM system.

I'm getting the following error when ever I go to edit my signature.

Warning: Missing argument 1 for getcodebuttons() in /home/boofo/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 2360

That line contains this code below:


Line 2359 // ###################### Get Code Buttons #######################
Line 2360 function getcodebuttons ($cbutton) {
Line 2361 global $vbcodemode,$vbcode_smilies;

I'm also getting this error when I click on the submit button to save the signature.

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/boofo/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php:2360) in /home/boofo/public_html/forum/sedit.php on line 168

And then the page just goes white.

I am using the sig editor hack by tubedogg. Any ideas why this might be happening?

[Hwulex]

Not sure on the sig editor hack. But at a guess, does it use the vB Code buttons?

If it does, there lies the problem.

Where his hack calls:
$vbcode_buttons = getcodebuttons();

Replace with:

$cbutton = $bbuserinfo[cbutton];
$vbcode_buttons = getcodebuttons($cbutton);
And you should be ok (I hope).

If that's not it, give me another shout and I'll take a look at tubedoggs hack and work out what's up :)

[Boofo]

Hwulex,

Please check the link out below. I didn't want to double post this here, too, to clutter up the thread. The fix stopped the error, but now I am having major problems with it. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to fix this. :)
