WYSIWYG New thread/Reply
 

This is sorta neat... everything, instead of having the old-school type-in text box for replies and new threads, you have a Frontpage-like visual editor for your replies!:)

Supports colors, and everything!:) Here's how to install...

1. Back up your newreply and newthread templates, just in case.:) (I'm not responsible if you screw up and blow up your house.:D)

2. Instead of me giving you pieces of the templates to modify, since there are huge modifications, I'll just give you the templates themselves. You usually won't have to change anything, unless you installed some hacks that modify the newreply or newthread templates.:)

3. When people are posting/replying, be sure to let them know that before they can submit the form, they have to press the 'save' button that's on the toolbar.:)

4. Upload the images attached to forums/images/toolbar directory.

5. Enjoy!:bunny:

New version available here.

If I left out anything...let me know. ^_^

You have to register to see it, but it's real cool when you reply/post new thread!:D

EDIT: Also...forgot this attachment... ^_^

Just plop it in your forum directory.:)

haha, nice try, i say make a guets account or a screen shot

I simply must say, wow, this is a great hack, a must to install, it remeinds me alot od wordpad and other text editors, i like it, i signed up to your forums, im attaching a screenshot below.

Oh, yeah, one more thing...

Be sure to enable HTML when posting, or else much of the effects (such as tabs) won't work.

Don't worry...the risk isn't as big as with a plaintext editor... everything is wrapped in tags, so it shouldn't be a big problem.:)

hmm, looking over it, this isnt considered a hack, its a template edit, so it shouldnt be here, but its great though

I looked at it... very nice!

Well, I'm not forcing anyone to register and see it -- it's completely optional.

Now, why do you have to get that kind of attitude? Believe it or not, you're actually making me rethink wether to continue work on this hack, or take everything down. :tired:

I like the hack :) One thing, though, is that now that it uses an iframe for the textarea, how do I capture the value of said iframe for the spell checker?

With a little tweaking of the Javascript, you can get it to work.:)

When the user presses the 'save' button, the contents of the iframe (in HTML format) is passed to a hidden form field called 'message'.

That's just a regular input box that's hidden... you can probably make the spell check work through there.:):bunny:
