AutoCopy Code and PHP to clipboard
 

This hack will allow you to copy the text quoted in Code and PHP, to your clipboard, with a simple double-click.
This is extremly useful if your users utilise frequently the code environment.

Once installed the hack, if an user double-click in the quoted area, an alert will popup let him(her) know that the code was copied to the clipboard.

Pretty usefull, thanks.

i hope firefly will install this here.. ;)

Yeah, looks useful indeed. I'll look into this shortly. :)

thanks firefly. :)
it's extremly easy to install it in your hack. i have no idea how come i didnt think of this before...

nice one ;)

Yeah, you must click inside the text and not just anywhere in the table (because the <pre> ends before the table).
Maybe with some more Javscript you can make the whole table double-clickable? :)

i'm glad you like it firefly. it will make everyone's life easier here at vB.org... :D

you cant.. unfortunatelly. the code is looking only for a segment of code related to whatever variable you select (in our case [high]<pre[/high]), to paste it. if you select ather area, it will paste everything, including the html code. i would make more clear the message:
[high](double-click the code segment to copy to clipboard)[/high] or something like that...

if you dont click on the actual code, it will not work. talking abot this, how can we remove the space? if you click on the first line (even is it's outside the text), in your example, it works. in the empty space below, it doesnt. VB adds some extra space there... only in CODE and PHP. maybe you can tell us here firefly how to remove this pesky space in both CODE and PHP.. it is not very estethic..

I was thinking of maybe giving every <pre> a unique ID (per page of course), and then instead of "this" in the JS use that ID.

[high]* FireFly beats the system. ;)

Ok, I got it to work with my hack (PHP and stuff in boxes) that you can click the table and not just the text.

Instead of replacing <pre I replace this:
With the same code only with added JavaScript.

good job firefly, as usual.. ;)
so if i understand corectly.. you fall in love with me?? hehe

Thanks for this hack nakkid.

Cool nakkid :D

I can't seem to get it to work on my 2.2.5
every time i click it copies the entire post!
and gives me 3 CopyBoxes !!!
HELP :)

you have firefly's hack installed?
check his post here, related to this issue. he tells you how to edit properly the html code.

very useful hack~~

thankz ur great work~~

nakkid:

Is there anyway to incorporate this in with the quotereply template so when someone clicks on the quote icon the text that is in the post is copied to the clipboard?

So instead of putting the that this template puts into a new post it would just copy $pagetext to the clipboard? That way it when they go to reply and the page won't load they haven't lost what they just typed. Or better yet it would be cool if it was a feature that when they typed a message it would just copy the contents to the clipboard and then you could just cut and paste. The information copied to the clipboard would change each time you posted a new message.

Just a thought.

in the instructions in the txt file says:

| File: admin/functions.php (1 change) |
+-----------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Just replace

with this:

Worked for me :)

what added javascript ... I just cant get this too work with your boxes :(

cheers very handy hack :)

I already installed Firefly's code and php hack and I also installed this great hack (the part I needed with Firefly's hack), but how do I add the "double-click to copy to clipboard" text at the top of the box if I only need to use the final step 1 in this file? Also, I'm not 100 % clear on the instructions Firefly said about the <pre replacement. Can anyone help explain what it is exactly that I am supposed to do here?

ok,i figured it out. do the following after you installed firefly's hack:


replace:
with:
forget about the lines in nakkids hack, just do this:
that will fix the "php:" and "code:" part.

to make the box clickable with quote do the following:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| In the Admin CP, goto Modify under Custom vB Codes and click [edit] next to the [quote] code |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
replace this:
with this:

that will fix it for you!

It works here now, I just don't have the "double-click to copy to clipboard" showing up like it does here. That's the only part I need to make it look right.

thats easy, just add
in functions.php right after the following :
& after:

last one: In the Admin CP, goto Modify under Custom vB Codes and click [edit] next to the [quote] code Place this code in the "vB Code replacement" Box

never mind sorted it ... good job mate! :)

that needs to be your quote text to work

Thanks! It works great! :)

your right, thanx i pasted the wrong code in my message

is there a way i can fix this? --

[QUOTE]Originally posted by blue devil

did it work? [/QUOTE

test

thats how it shows up when someone quotes another person accept the last quote has this at the end ] but i couldnt put it here due to it tries to quote me :)

In the Admin CP, goto Modify under Custom vB Codes and click [edit] next to the [quote] code Place this code in the "vB Code replacement" Box:

Isn't it supposed to be this?
Did you mean to put the above? :)

boofo, your code doesn't have the "copy to clipboard"function, mine does

sorry guys heres what i did -- *didnt notice untill now*

when i click on modify Custom vB Codes there is no quote Definitions there.. i see the rest of the things there like [b]bold[b] but quote is gone
i think i deleted the whole thing on accident so could you guys tell me what all i need to put it back in?

thanx in advance to you all :)
