The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 08-05-2007

Description:
This hack integrates Urdu OpenPad in your vBulletin forum. At the moment this hack is only available in the form of template modification instructions. These changes are aimed at converting specific edit areas into Urdu edit areas. You can use the same procedure to convert any other edit area into an Urdu edit area. Please note that this integration is available for textarea-mode i.e. it does not work for the wysiwyg mode.

NOTE: It has been brought to my notice that users on some forums are having problems logging in with Urdu user names. This is because of the way Unicode data is handled in a non-Unicode forum. I recommend skipping the modifications in the navbar, STANDARD_ERROR, STANDARD_ERROR_LITE, STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN and the register templates on these forums.

Demo: Urdu Mehfil Forum

Upload files:
Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum root.

You can switch the language mode using the CTRl+SPACE keyboard shortcut.
As for the the other problem, you need to set the default encoding of your forum to utf-8. You will find this setting in the language settings.

please explain more about wysiwyg mode ?
how can i switch the editor mode ?

You will find this setting in your profile options at the bottom of the page.

This mod consists of only template modifications, there is no XML file. This mod also works for 3.7.2.

ever-fresh · #69 10-10-2008, 10:26 AM

Asalam o Alaikum Nabeel,

Not sure if you are still providing support or not. I once again tried it on my forum but facing some strange behavior. When ever a user type Hay (Halway wali) whole message get messed up. For example view following page.

http://www.hallagulla.com/urdu/help-...ad-286039.html

Any idea how to fix this problem ?

Looking forward to hear from you soon.
