New Posting Features - Chrome Browser Notice (For Quick Reply Editor) - How to fix non-working space bar

If you are not already aware the latest version of Chrome browser (Version 54.0.2840.71, possibly others) has introduced a bug or incompatibility with the version of CKEditor used in VB 4.x.

If a user attempts to use the "Reply With Quote" feature on an existing post and begins to type their reply under the existing quote without hitting the Enter key first, the space bar will not work.

The issue is talked about on vBulletin.com here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...rking-on-reply

While this is not a true fix, it does display a notice above the quick reply editor advising Chrome users that they can fix the problem simply by hitting the Enter key. (See Screenshot.)



The actual text displayed is held in a Global phrase called chrome_editor_message_bop5 so it is easily edited or translated as needed using Phrase Manager in the Admin CP.

There are no options, just install it and it will become active. Disable or remove the product to stop using it.

Notice will only be displayed in Chrome browser and when the enhanced WYSIWYG editor is enabled in the user's options. The Standard Editor and Basic Editor do not have this bug.

The function that attempts to determine the browser version was publicly available, location it can be found is a comment in the Functions plugin.

This mod will only install on VB 4.x versions and is only useful with VB 4.x versions 4.1.12 and above. May not work on heavily customized styles.

I'll need to take a closer look. A quick glace suggests it possible but more difficult. Will get back to you here.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you're using it.

[Kane@airrifle]

This mod is still relevant.

The issue remains in Chrome 54.0.2840.99 m

Why are you blaming vBulletin for a problem with the Google Chrome web browser and the CKEditor, neither of which are developed by vBulletin?

The only "joke" is people who make clueless comments about things they dont seem to understand. This is a bug/issue in Chrome, so I suggest you go and moan at them.

[Paul M]

Oh, and since none of this is relevant to support of the mod, any further arguments will be removed.

[Stratis]

I have many issues with IE 11, so its a good advice to start fixing these problems to.
Wow!!! that's very cool.


Any way just joking, I am not writing here to say what must be done or not?


But please Admins you must remove all these post and mine to another new thread. At least we must respect Joe for his help until something changes.


Thanks and sorry for interfering

[TerryMason]

Thank you for this mod!

Hopefully chrome will fix this issue before too long.

[gatsman]

Thanks for your work mate.

This is only for Quick Reply Editor.
Is there a way to have this mod in the full editor too?

[sticky]

I installed this and it's working.

Edit: Actually, had to uninstall. Not sure why but certain pages won't load for me when it's enabled.
