[RELEASE vB2.02beta] vB Code Buttons

For editpost, make sure that you have

<TEXTAREA NAME="message" ROWS=20 COLS=60 WRAP="VIRTUAL">$postinfo[message]</TEXTAREA>

If the $postinfo[message] bit is missing, your message will appear to have not been retained for editing.

If you ~do~ have the $postinfo[message] part in there and it still doesn't work, post the broken template here as an attachment and we'll take a look for you.

Kier, how does smileys work if you have say 40 or so of the things? What would be nice is for it to include the first ten and then provide a small pop-up click window that opens the rest up which you can again click on to make them go into the post box. Know what i mean? i used to have this with boardpower and would love that function back again.

cheers.

For now, people with huge numbers of smilies will just have to increase the number of columns for the smiley table (getclickysmilies(a_big_number)) but I'll build some more functionality into the next version to cater better for multi-smilied boards.

Hopefully the next version will also enable the open/close tags routine that was discussed earlier in this thread. I really like the idea of that

Thanks Kier! That did the trick!

Excellent update!

All the requested functionality, including optional tag-completion and a smiley overflow pop-up window is now complete... I'm just completing the installation documentation and I'll post the update (which is really cool, even if I do say so myself )

Just installed this without a hitch.

Thanks again for another great hack.

Since I have a TON of smilies... I'm really looking forward to a possible ten smilies, with a click for more.

[edit]*looks like i posted too late. lol. *[/edit]

Has the update been posted yet?

Waiting hungrily....

Could a moderator please close this thread?

Due to the large differences between the installation requirements for this version and the latest one, I am going to open a new thread for it.

The new version of the hack can be found HERE
