I got all this working for vB4 and I'm sure it will still work for vB3. I got the editArea editor working in the large edit window and it returns the text to the main page. The large editor window is now larger too. See attached image.
After you upload editArea to forum/clientscript follow these steps:
- Make a copy of forum/admincp/textarea.php, renaming it textarea_original.php
- Now upload my textarea.php to forum/admincp.
- Make a copy of my file, renaming it textarea_ce.php to save it next time you upgrade.
Now you have the usual text editor in the aminCP page and a code editor in the large edit window. Test it out to be sure everything works. If you want editArea in the main page follow these additional steps:
- Make a copy of forum/includes/adminfunctions.php, renaming it adminfunctions_original.php.
- Open the new version of textarea.php and copy the new function at the bottom of the file.
- Open forum/includes/adminfunctions.php and find function print_textarea_row(). In vB4.1.12 it's on line 999 but before that in earlier versions. Rename it print_textarea_row_old(). Now just above it paste in the new version and Save.
- Now copy forum/includes/adminfunctions.php, renaming it adminfunctions_new.php to save it for next time you upgrade.
You're done, no further editing required.
