Insert text into editor
 

I never imagined something like this would be so complicated, but I'm looking for a way to add text into the editor (both wysiwyg and standard editors) when clicking a link or button.

In the postbit or where?

Into the editor when writing a post. Namely for the "newthread" template. I'd like to create a button which would populate/insert text into the textarea of the editor when clicked. Similarly to how you press a Smilie and it appears inside the textarea.

That will take a hack like they use here for the Unlicensed User messages. One hasn't been released yet that I know of.

I'm well aware that nothing has been released, otherwise I would of already of tried it. :p I am trying to create one. My understanding is that it would take an OnClick event based on a javascript function to accomplish this. But my javascript coding skills are very poor so I hope someone out there can help.

There is kinda a hack like this, but it will effect all newthreads in a forum. It's call the Stencil Hack (I think). You may want to check it out and see what they do and then modify it for what you want.

The javascript is only the small part of it.

This is the hack in question:

Although not exactly what I need, I will certainly try it out and see if this will work for my purposes.

I am not looking for miracles, but in fact the javascript is all I need. I have already tested some javascript code that I found myself and managed to get a partially working version. Problem is that my lack of javascript coding skills prevent me from getting it to work 100%.

I did a version of the hack they have hear from the Unlicensed user message. I use the javascript for the pull down menu that has like 6 different messages to add to posts.

Could you share this code? It might be exactly what I need.

As for the stencil hack, although it functions as it should. The limitation is that I am forcefully restricted to 1 message, but I have at least 3 different preset text templates I would like users to chose from.
