Are you trying to add a field where your users can enter text, or do you want some default text to already appear in the post message area when the form is loaded?

Ah, okay now I know exactly what you mean. :)

It is likely possible for the standard editor, but it may not be possible for the WYSIWYG editor. I will look into it very soon, and post back what I find. ;)

As I suspected, it won't work with the WYSIWYG editor (it is an inline document), but for the Standard editor you can use the following plugin:

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: parse_templates

Title: Give Standard Editor Textarea A Placeholder

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('showthread', 'newreply', 'newthread')))
$template_hook['footer_javascript'] .= '<script>
window.onload = function(){
    var el = document.getElementsByClassName("cke_source");
    el[el.length - 1].placeholder = "Enter Post Here...";
};
</script>';

Plugin is Active: Yes

Click "Save".

Hey Stratis,

What do you mean by including color/image code?

Lets say that i want to change the color of the text "Enter Post Here..."
or place an image to show instead of text.

It is possible to use (browser-specific) CSS to change the color of the placeholder text, but I don't think you can use an image as a placeholder. :)
