one word FANTASTIC :P

just wanted to say thanks. just installed this on 3.82 with no issues. (partial instalation)

I only installed it on textarea.php because I don't think I'll always need it. sometimes I'm just doing a quick edit and don't see the point in having all this. BUT if I want the full editor, I can click the "Large Edit Box" and get it. that gives me this editor on the template editor & the plugin editor while only having to edit 1 file.

I just checked and there's a 'Large Edit Box' button on the email users page too which opens this. not sure I need it there but here, it's pretty cool.

Adding the AJAX save button would be very nice

this is the greatest thing ever created! ever!

installed on vBulletin 3.8.3 using the latest release of the "Edit Area" component, which was 0.8.1.1, and no problems so far

the original link given is no longer working, the component can now be found here: http://www.cdolivet.com/index.php?page=editArea or here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/editarea/files/

I got all this working for vB4 and I'm sure it will still work for vB3. I got the editArea editor working in the large edit window and it returns the text to the main page. The large editor window is now larger too. See attached image.

After you upload editArea to forum/clientscript follow these steps:

1. Make a copy of forum/admincp/textarea.php, renaming it textarea_original.php
   
2. Now upload my textarea.php to forum/admincp.
   
3. Make a copy of my file, renaming it textarea_ce.php to save it next time you upgrade.

Now you have the usual text editor in the aminCP page and a code editor in the large edit window. Test it out to be sure everything works. If you want editArea in the main page follow these additional steps:

1. Make a copy of forum/includes/adminfunctions.php, renaming it adminfunctions_original.php.
   
2. Open the new version of textarea.php and copy the new function at the bottom of the file.
   
3. Open forum/includes/adminfunctions.php and find function print_textarea_row(). In vB4.1.12 it's on line 999 but before that in earlier versions. Rename it print_textarea_row_old(). Now just above it paste in the new version and Save.
   
4. Now copy forum/includes/adminfunctions.php, renaming it adminfunctions_new.php to save it for next time you upgrade.

You're done, no further editing required.

OOPS! There's a glitch with this file. This works fine for templates and plug-ins but for pages with multiple textarea inputs it converts only the last one to the code editor (products, custom profile fields, etc).

I'm working on a solution and will post when I get a fix.

File fixed. If you have already uploaded the file you need to upload the new version and edit the corrected function into adminfunctions.php.

Sorry for the bug.
