I have still one question:

is there a chance that I can use more fonts ? If yes how can I realize that ?

thanks,
Schorsch

The fonts included are the basic fonts that every system would have.

If you add more fonts, there will be compatibility problems. However, if you want to add more fonts, just add the new font's name as a new entry in the font drop-down.:)

thanks eiSecure, I'll try it!!

Hi friend,
Your hack is extremely cool ... I have wished for this for a long time :) ...

I have a small problem which I would like to ask you to see if there is a way to do this :

My site uses Unicode ... therefore, for the original textarea of the NEWTHREAD - NEWREPLY template, I did add in the call for a particular javascript. Hence, it looks like:
Since your hack uses iframe instead of textarea for the message, is there a way for me to maintain the call for that particular script (for example, using onkeyup="initTyper(this)) ...

Thanks for your help :squareeyed:

I found an error:

the smilies I see on the left side are working without problems, BUT when I click on "Get More" and the smilie popup appears, the smilies in this popup aren't working any more!!

How can I fix that ??

thanks,
Schorsch

i installed it, ran the queries.....I'm using IE6.0 and I cant see it

did u activate it in your user cp ???

I have a couple Q's after seeing it.

1) How do you insert images (not attachements just the regular stuff in [img] tags. Do you post first then change it?

2) I was a little surprised when I hit preview. Maybe there is no alternative, but you have a nice editor here, it seems the preview should be WYSWIG too. Maybe preview is the wrong word.

Regards,

Matt

You insert images using the [img] tags.

Why not make it wyswig and insert them with a popup box? and show them in the display Is it too hard?

Just wondering!

The basic functionality for that is already implemented, but because it does not limit images to only ones on the internet, we did not enable it, since vB doesn't currently support multiple attachments.

Who's talking about attachments? I am talking about images!

Have you ever used G-TForum's WYSIWYG editor? You can resize and align images left right or center, click on 'em and drag em around in a post Click link and make them an anchor for a link or whatever.

I should hope if a WYSIWIG feature is going to be incorporated in VB3 that it would work at least as well. I like vB and use vB but its editor is prehistoric and frankly this one is marginal if it doesn't support images well. Let's leave the question of attachments aside, shall we?

Regards,

Matt

I would think as well that vB3 will have that support. However, if you're looking for that in this hack, you're at the wrong place, and for now, you're using the wrong forum.

If you want that editor, use that forum. If not, then live with the current one in vB2 for another 2 months until vB3 beta comes out.

This hack is just a small improvement over the existing reply box to make it easier for the user to do basic formatting. It is not designed to be a WYSIWYG CMS front-end.

If that is what you want, then go and buy a commercial ActiveX that supports it. Otherwise, live with the current feature set or like I said, switch to that forum.

We are all very busy people, and it cannot be expected that we constantly update our hacks and cram in every single feature that is requested. I for one have a life outside of a computer, and it is my intention to pursue it at the expense of becoming a drone and live lifelessly debugging and improving a hack that does not generate any income or compensation for me.

Regards,

Alex

any ideas about that problem ?

Thank You very much :)

Schorsch

This hack requires to alter table user for one more field. Will this cause trouble when updating vbulletin at a later time?

When upgrading, it should not cause any DB problems.

i have some problems and dont find any solution??

If i make a newreply and type e.g. test
the message will be shown as:

<PRE>test</PRE>

what is that PRE???

Help please!

Hi, great hack. Please figure out a way to include the aspell spell checker into this as that is a major loss to the forum when you already have it installed and try to move people to this. Again thanks for a great hack :)

Clark Kent, how goes the JS work in trying to keep the buttons down after clicking? ;)

<pre> stands for preformatted text. It's like you can use invisible keys within the <pre></pre> tags and they will show up.

I know that was alittle vague, but here is an example. The {} stands for a key pressed (such as the space bar):

So inputting this:
Will output in the post as this:
I hope I'm clear ^^;

And that picture of the image WYSIWYG looked pretty cool. But I'm sure VB3 will be far more advanced than just that :)

This hack has also became very complicated with add-ons and bug fixes scattered throughout the thread, it almost seems like time to re-compile all these add-ons together, optimizing them for best performance, then releasing Version 1.1 (or 2) :D

Unless it is better to wait for VB3........

Well, I would love to put out another update, but I'm tremendousely busy this month... I've got client work to do, and lots of other stuff in my life to take care of.

...by the time I get enough time, vB3 will be out already...

I have this installed and it worked after a huge struggle when i disabled "oImg = sImgTag<i>;".

How do i get the contents to change dir=rtl or at least get them aligned right by default?

hey guys, I thought the smiley issue was fixed??

I just installed, and everything went smooth, except for that little bug smiley bug

I also had one other question, when you edit posts, should you see the VB code??? or the wysiwyg stuff ??

Thanks!
GREAT HACK!!!

The smilie issue IS fixed. You cannot used a hacked vbcode.js - upload a stock unhacked vbcode.js, rename it vbcode3.js, and change the template to point to it.

When you edit posts, it will be WYSIWYG.

well, when i post this ...(with the wysiwyg editor)

wow .. this rocks!!!!

• cool
• cooler
• coolest!

hummmm....

and i hit edit, I see thisIs this correct ??

Thanks!

oh yea.. the issue with my smiles is... (sorry, I should have given better detail)

it works fine when you click on any of the smiles listed on the normal edit page, but if you hit the more button, it wont post the smileys into the text.

I am using a stock vbcode.js, and the stock vbcode2.js that came with the hack, but I haven't changed any of the templates (wasn't in the instructions ???)

Where do I get an unhacked vbcode.js? I have both of them from this thread. (the one in the origional zip file and the second in the vbcode2.zip file also found in this thread)

I can insert smiles from the smile box but I can not click on the smiles in the Get More Box, when I do click on a smile in the get more box it does nothing.

Also my spell checker I can get to check the spelling however when I click on Insert in post it does nothing as well.

I believe both are the same issue.

Can anyone help?

Bump. Anyone.... Someone..... Please? :)

Can't you get an unhacked copy from the vbulletin download? :)

I installed the hack on my forum at: http://www.thatfinalfantasysite.com/testvb but the wysiwyg fields don't show up in the editpost, newreply, and newthread. I am running vb 2.2.7. HELP Please.

Dark Shogun

You need to turn on WYSIWYG in your usercp.:)

Ok it is working but is it supposed to double space everything?

Example:
I type:

Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah

But the wysiwyg editor puts:
While typing and in the post itself.

Blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah

Dark Shogun

PS. Is the wysiwyg editor supposed to look like the attached?

Yes, it does. It works exactly like the vB3 WYSIWYG editor.

Is there a way to make it so it doesn't double space? Thats the only problem right now that I have seen so far.

Dark Shogun

No, there is not. The iFrame control natively acts that way.

oh ok. Thanks.

Dark Shogun

This is the last problem I could find. When you make a new thread the submit buttons say: Submit Reply and Preview Reply instread of Submit New Thread and Preview Post. Do you know how I change then back?

Dark Shogun

PS. I have some other hacks in like vbmood and sticky option and 1 more that I forgot the name of and when a person uses the WYSIWYG editor those fields are gone in the new thread, new reply, and edit post. BUT when you change back to the default editor they are back. Do you know how I can get them to work together?

Oops. Forgot the screenshot.

Dark Shogun

Is there anyway to add the free spell checker hack to this hack?
