Ok don't give me a bunch of crap if I'm posting this wrong, this is my first little contribution to VB.

In the short time I've been playing around with VB, I've already become annoyed at editing templates. I added two little javascript buttons to the page to make things easier.

Copy - click the button to highlight all the text in the textarea and copy it to the clipboard in one step

Preview - opens a new window displaying the html from the message area. It doesn't replace the variables with any value, but does gives you an idea of layout and color changes

for VB v2.0.1

doesnt work

and yes i did change the php3 to php ;)

Mutt	07-02-2001 01:38 AM

what didn't work?

maybe I left something out

Mutt	07-02-2001 01:45 AM

I edited the directions so try it again

the forum seems to be spliting the word javascript up into 2 words java and script with a space between them. make sure you remove that space

Mutt	07-04-2001 12:18 AM

Hey there, I was doing alot of template editing today and needed an easy way to search an individual template. It got so bad that I finally added one.

new feature
Find - adds a small input field and a form button so you can search the textarea. very handy

While editing the directions I realized that I left out a step before. This attachment has complete instructions and all 3 features. I also moved the buttons for esthetic reasons.

great job! looks usefull. i'll try it right now

Thanks Mutt , this will help out alot. I would recommend this to anyone. The only problem I see sometimes is the way the preview turns out, not enough to matter though.
Great Job.

In your admin control panel under templates. This adds copy,preview, and find buttons to the box you view when looking at your templates.
You select copy it copies all in the template you are looking at for clipboard pasting, Select find and you can search the template you are viewing fot strings. Select preview and you can preview the template.

Jpp	07-04-2001 09:24 PM

Damn!!! This is useful ;) ;)

Ahhhh my find button dont work, damn!!!! what can be wrong??Nothing happends at all. it just clicks,

any suggestions

The find feature doesn't work for me either.. there must be some wrong coding in the java cause everytime I push the find button I get the Error on Page message in the status bar of IE.

Ok.. after I posted this I went back to the templates to try it again and found out this:

The Find button will ONLY work until you hit the preview button. Once the preview button loads up the new page.. the Find will NO longer work.. simply refresh the template page and the find will work again.. however your code changes will be lost.

It still works after you press copy.. but for some reason it must not like the popup feature of the preview.

Mutt	08-03-2001 01:44 AM

Just wanted everyone to know that this works in 2.03 and I fixed the javascript bug that kills find after using the preview. the only changes were where $ButtonExtra is defined.

I'd like to add an undo button. Alt+U will undo changes to the text area and I need a way to make a button that simulates pressing Alt+U. Any ideas? If you know of anything where you can use javascript to make a link simulate a key press, let me know. thanx!

Tremendous hack!
Very useful, easy to install, simply great! :D

FWC	08-05-2001 07:01 PM

Excellent work, Mutt! Can't beat the ease of installation.

LuBi	08-26-2001 02:10 PM

Can anyone make something like this for 2.0.3?

webhost

08-26-2001 02:32 PM

I am running 2.0.3 runs fine for me.

LuBi	08-26-2001 04:54 PM

Did you follow the same instructions or did you have to modify different files?

webhost

08-26-2001 05:02 PM

i followed same instructions in the opening post of this thread

LuBi	08-26-2001 05:05 PM

thanks I look forward to installing. the reason i'm being so annoying is because I wasi nstalling hack before and kept fouling up my forum. now I use all 2.0.3 hacks and they seem to work :D go figure.

LuBi	08-26-2001 05:40 PM

Can this hack work with this one? [RELEASE] Template Control Panel for 2.0

webhost

08-26-2001 05:42 PM

don't know never installed that one

ToraTora!

08-26-2001 07:50 PM

1) the instructions, seem to say..."edit templete.php right at the begining of the script just after function displayHTML() "
now, I dont know where the function display HTML went, but its not in any template.php file i have. Could this be clarified>?

2) the only function that is shown somewhere even resembling the beginning, is Start search area, which is a quarter of the way down. I might add, there is nothing said about display HTML there either...just this...

PHP Code:


		
			
function confirmaction(theform) {

    if ((theform.searchstring.value=="") || (theform.replacestring.value=="")) {

        theform.searchstring.select();

        return confirm("WARNING:\n\nYou have chosen to perform a FIND/REPLACE operation on all your templates,\nbut at least one of the fields is empty.\n\nAre you SURE?");

    } else {

        return true;

    }

is there something i am missing here?
The instuctions send mixed signals. Is it function display HTML, is it after the function, we add the code, is it after functionhtml we add code?

Is the php file, template.php, which is found in the admin folder??

Either way, im not finding this elusive display HTML code, and it is on 2.03...

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I added the code to admin/template.php right below "error_reporting(7);" at the top of the file. It works fine that way.

thank you. I was thinking of doing that myself, however backed out until i recieved a straight answer here.

One last question, and than im off to install this bad boy.

exactly where do you start with the hacked code to add below the error 7?

this?

PHP Code:


		
			


{ var inf = document.name.template.value; win = window.open(\", \", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no, scrollbars=yes');

Thanks again. :)

I started with:

$ButtonExtra="

I assume that was right because it works. It's really a nice tool to have, too.

08-27-2001 05:08 AM

one thing i was going to ask about, was the preview feature. will this actually show a HTML preview of the template>?

It looks to me like a very usefull hack. The documentation is a little loose on the edges, but other than that, it sounds like he did one hell of a job on it.

ToraTora!

08-27-2001 05:23 AM

Here is the problem I add that long code, under the error 7,

PHP Code:


		
			
{ var inf = document.name.template.value; wintwo = window.open(\", \", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no, scrollbars=yes'); wintwo.document.write(\"\" + inf + \"\"); } 

function HighlightAll() { var tempval=eval(\"document.name.template\") tempval.focus() tempval.select() if (document.all){ therange=tempval.createTextRange() therange.execCommand(\"Copy\") 

window.status=\"Contents highlighted and copied to clipboard!\" setTimeout(\"window.status=''\",1800) } } var NS4 = (document.layers); 

// Which browser? var IE4 = (document.all); var win = window; 

// window to search. var n = 0; function findInPage(str) { var txt, i, found; if (str == '') return false; if (NS4) 

{ 

if (!win.find(str)) while(win.find(str, false, true)) n++; else n++; if (n == 0) alert('Not found.'); } if (IE4) { txt = win.document.body.createTextRange(); 

for (i = 0; i <= n && (found = txt.findText(str)) != false; i++) { txt.moveStart('character', 1); txt.moveEnd('textedit'); } 

if (found) 

{ txt.moveStart('character', -1); txt.findText(str); txt.select(); txt.scrollIntoView(); n++; } else { if (n > 0) { n = 0; findInPage(str); } else alert('Not found.'); 

} } return false; }       ";

Now i am getting a parse error, on line three, which is the code under the error 7.

Any hints?

This documentation needs work.

LuBi	08-27-2001 05:30 AM

I had the same problem the anser is in the error. I think its like template.php and you'll see the rroer infront of <?php or something. I got the same thing I installed the hack by the instructions..goodluck that fix worked for me
