Quick switch Editor Interface (b/w Standard and Enhanced)

Hack name: Quick switch Editor Interface
Author: HacNho
Version: 1.0.1
Description:
This hack will switch Editor Interface to Standard or Enhanced Editor (WYSIWYG) (in user profile) by one click when you are editing/posting

File to edit: 0
File to upload: 1 (changeinterface.php)
Template to edit: 4 ( editpost, newthread, newreply, pm_newpm)

Limitation:
The pm_newpm only work when sending to 1 user, or pmid exists


Screenshot: EditorInterface.gif (20.2 KB)

Installation:
changeinterface-install.txt (3.4 KB)

Step 1:
Upload changeinterface.php to your forum directory

Step2:
Edit templates editpost
...

Step 3:
Edit templates newthread
...

Step 4
Edit templates newreply
...

Step 5
Edit template pm_newpm


Step 6
Test change interface when (1) edit, (2) post new reply, (3) post new thread, (4) send new PM and reply PM


Do I miss anything?

Maybe a script to autodetect the sending process (edit or reply or newthread or PM) would be nice, so you dont have to edit individual templates ... but I dont know how yet , dont want to execute too many scripts either.


Update: version 1.0.1
- add switch for sending pm
- optimize the php file and templates

(upgrade instruction: redo all the steps)

just because I dont like seeing that text, that's why.


actually, you just need to use condition once:

 <if condition="$bbuserinfo[showvbcode]=='2'"> 
(<a href="changeinterface.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&eid=1&f=$foruminfo[forumid]" title="Click to change Editor Interface to Standard">WYSIWYG Editor</a>)
<else />
(<a href="changeinterface.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&eid=2&f=$foruminfo[forumid]" title="Click to change Editor to WYSIWYG Interface">Standard Editor</a>)
</if>

do the same with other templates.


However, if Guest is allowed to post, you may get error if you dont have userid=0. then, adding

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]!=0"> above,
and </if> bellow the code should help.

In my case, if guest, $bbuserinfo[showvbcode] = empty, there's no link

Can you attach the install file with your changes?

when opting for number 2 it is automatically inserting a Quote from the last post.

How to fix?

open the file changeinterface.php

look for

PHP Code:

        case'newreply':    $url ="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&p=$p";    break; 


replace by

PHP Code:

        case'newreply':    $url ="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&noquote=1&p=$p";    break; 


Note, this will put no quote in editing, even if you had "quoted" before.

I wouldnt mind just seeing the quote, select all, and delete it.

Ideally, the behavior of the editor switch should be:

Whatever was in the text-entry window is carried over into the new editor-window. Nothing added or removed.

you are right, but "whatever in the text-entry window" is out of my control
I'd love to see it implemented somehow

This is only quick mod and I didnt put all posibilities into account.
Adding auto quote detection option shouldnt be too hard, just need toread the noquote value from url,put into changeinterface.php, and youare done.
I might add the addition sometime later

This comes in handy. I use the advanced, but many times there is a need to clean out the extra tags from the cut n paste. That's where this option is very handy. Thanks.
