"SWF" Javascript shortcut button on posting screens
 

Insert [disable][SWF][/disable] vBcode shortcut button to posting screens
Now out of beta!

I wrote this to help someone out from vbulletin.com, but after realising it is actually a hack I deleted it and converted it into text instructions.

What does it do?

When a user is posting a new message (and they have the option turned on in their User CP), there is a set of input buttons designed to be "shortcuts" to some of the more popular vBcodes (such as url, img, etc). This hack adds an SWF button next to the IMG button.

The user is presented with a popup in which they enter values (url, width, height) to be converted to an SWF vBcode, and the code is automatically inserted into the message (just like the other vBcodes).

Note: this hack also outlines the process involved in setting up the SWF tag

Extra Notes

- I can be reached via PM for limited support (this is my first hack).

- If there's a demand for it, I will also include other vBcodes to the hack (so reply if you want more!)

[disable][disable][/disable] vBcode has been requested, and is being worked on.

umm, what was the purpose of moving this out of beta? Unless there has been a change, which I don't see any. Or where you trying to clean the last thread up? Or try to make it more noticeable?--because now there are 2 hacks of the same on the home page. :p

I will be deleting the beta one, because it's no longer beta.

It was only posted in there to be tested by other people, but now that it works I'll actually release it where people can see it.

By the way, if you don't have a copy of your HTML-enabled-forums-only modification, I suggest you get one now... because it's about to be deleted.

not bad man, but I dont want users posting 5MB swf files they made in swish. gotta be some restrictions...

This appears when I place the mouse pointer over the SWF button. Any ideas? Thanks.
