I've installed this hack from day one, and it has been working 100% since. All it needs are buttons that stay down when pressed.

Are you using Mozilla or Opera, etc?

The script auto-detects which browser you're using, and if you're not on a browser that supports it (everything except IE), then it will just switch to the default display.

yeh i just installed the hack on Vb2.3 release candidate 3 yes Erwin i did, it i updated from 2.3release one just for the image verification
lol i deleted my whole forum and then used my backup database after adding all my old hacks again
wasn;t too bad actually cuz all the templates were done

anyway to the point it would be good if the buttons did stay stuck down

I love this hack. Makes me happier waiting for v3 to come out.

One question though, I noticed when you edit a message it doesn't display the message in WYSIWIG.. it puts all the codes in.. is it possible to have it translate an edited message into WYSIWIG?

For that, just apply the same template modifications for newreply in editthread

[nferreri]

u mean newreply.php ??? i dont recall doing any template CHANGES....

can you provide a bit more details on this?

thanks

Okay, let me explain this a bit better I think I might have said this wrong.

In edit message the WYSIWYG editor does come up just fine but the actual text inside doesn't translate the HTML codes into WYSIWYG.

I have the same problem when editing a post i see normal VB code and not the WYSIWYG. see pic. . .

Also in the more smilies window; When a smile is clicked it does not add it to the post.

Other than that This hack ROCKS!!! :banana:

2) Allow use of the editor by usergroup?

this is probably not the best way to do this but Iwas thinking the same thing. Perhaps have a Style that is available only to a certain usergroup and add the templates to that style and that style only. Then they would have the ability to use it if they wanted to.

Just a idea if anyone can do this better (and i am sure you can) please let me know!!
