BB Code Enhancements - Editor BBcode Tags to embed EditArea code editor in posts

Editor Tags allow you to embed EditArea code editor in posts as an editable alternative to [code], [html] and [php] tags

This product is no longer supported. See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...60#post2457960

New Version 1.1 (see below for installation)

Use [editor] tags to display, edit and store code in posts. You can edit code and save it in the database without editing the post, just click the Save button at the bottom of the editor.

The EditArea code editor displays formatted highlighted code and has the usual features of code editors. It's the editor used in cPanel. Features include search and replace, go to line, undo/redo, syntax and font size selection, highlight toggling, word-wrap toggling and full screen toggling.



Features

• Control panel in Settings > Options > BB Code Settings
  
  
• Enable/Disable allows you to turn Editor Tags off without deleting the BB Code. When Editor Tags are disabled, code posted in Editor Tags will show in a pre element much like a Code Tag display.
  
  
• By default, editing permission is the same as editing for the post. You can disable editing globally in the control panel.
  
  
• Edited code can be saved without editing the post. A Save button saves the EditArea contents to the database with AJAX.
  
  
• Default height of the editor can be set in the control panel.
  
  
• [New] Resizable in all browsers.
  
  
• [New] Works with or without Quick Edit enabled
  

Installation

1. Go to sourceforge to download the EditArea product. Upload the unzipped editarea_0_8_2 folder to the clientscript folder.

   
   Note: The easy way to upload large packages is to first create an "upload_zips" folder in your forum root, then upload the zipped file there. Then unzip the file and by default the new folder will be in the upload_zips folder. You can then move or copy it to clientscript.

2. Import the product file in Admin CP.
   
   
3. Upload the button image to the images/editor folder
   
   
4. Create the BB Code in the Custom BB Codes feature

5. To install the new version 1.1, uninstall the old version, upload the new product file and change the Replacement code in the bbcode setting. Everything else stays the same.
   

Notes

• Browser compatibility: This has been tested in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and some versions of IE. EditArea will not work well with Opera; the code displays properly but the tab key will not indent the code. There are some problems with IE8 throwing errors, this can be avoided by not placing more than one editor in a single post.
  
  
• The product creates two new templates, bbcode_editor_script, which goes in the <head>, and editortags.css.
  
  
• If you already have EditArea on your server from this product, EditArea Code Editor for Templates & Plugins in Admin CP, you can use it by changing the path in the <script> tag in bbcode_editor_script template.
  

Changes

• June 2 2013 Eliminated the progess image to theleft of the Save button. It was causing problems in vB4.2.1. Fixed minor problem with display in IE.
  Upload the new product file and overwrite the old one. Change the Replacement code above in the BBcode manager
  
  
• June 5 2013 Released new version 1.1. I eliminated the alternative height setting in the admin CP as the editor is now resizable in all browsers.

I've tried ...
but, when the save code is missing ..

[nerbert]

What browser are you using?

What version of vBulletin do you have?

When you clicked the button did you see a little progress image to the left? (dots go round and round)

[Muhammad Rahman]

Firefox 21.,
vBulletin 4.2.1.,
No.,

This correction applies to the original file. If you have uploaded the latest file and followed the instructions in the OP ignore this post.


I thought that might be the problem. They changed the location of the little progress image.

Open up the bbcode_editortags_script template and in the lower part modify as shown:

        if(typeof vB_AJAX_QuickEditor != 'undefined') {
                vB_AJAX_QuickEditor.prototype.preSave=function(postid,timeid){
                        this.postid = postid;
                        this.timeid = timeid;
                        this.progress = fetch_object('progress_' + this.postid)
                        this.progress.style.visibility = 'visible';
                        var postText = fetch_object('post_message_' + postid).innerHTML;
                        var matches = postText.match(/id="?editor_[\d]{13}"?/gi);
                        for(var i = 0; i < matches.length; i++) {
                        	if(matches[i].indexOf(timeid) != -1) break;
                        }
                        var index = i;
                        tid = 't_' + timeid
                        vB_QuickEditor.saveCode(postid,tid,index);
                }
                
                vB_AJAX_QuickEditor.prototype.saveCode=function(postid,tid,index){
                        this.tid = tid;
                        document.body.style.cursor='wait';
                        var C=YAHOO.util.Dom.get('postcount'+postid);
                        var D=editAreaLoader.getValue(tid);
                        this.savedCode = D;
                        editAreaLoader.setValue(tid, '');
                        this.ajax_req=YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('POST',fetch_ajax_url('editpost.php?do=updatecode&postid='+postid),
                        {success:vB_QuickEditor.updateCode, failure:vB_QuickEditor.updateCode,scope:vB_QuickEditor},
                        'do=updatecode&ajax=1' 	+

                } 
                
                vB_AJAX_QuickEditor.prototype.updateCode=function(C){
                        if(C.responseXML){
                                vB_QuickEditor.progress.style.visibility = 'hidden';
                                document.body.style.cursor='auto';
                                if(fetch_tag_count(C.responseXML,'error')){
                                        var D=fetch_tags(C.responseXML,'error');
                                        var A='<ol>';
                                        for(var B=0;B<D.length;B++){
                                                A+='<li>'+D[B].firstChild.nodeValue+'</li>'
                                	}
                                        A+='</ol>';
                                        var saveDiv = fetch_object('d_' + this.timeid)
                                        saveDiv.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML = A;
                                        saveDiv.getElementsByTagName('input')[1].style.display = 'block';
                                }else{
                                        editAreaLoader.setValue(vB_QuickEditor.tid, fetch_tags(C.responseXML, 'postbit')[0].firstChild.nodeValue);       
                                }              
                        }
                        return false
                }
        }

When you click the button the code should disappear and then the code read from the daabase will show. I takes just a second or so.

EDITED: I found a better fix

[Muhammad Rahman]

I did not find the template bbcode_editortags_script
the existing bbcode_editor_script

[nerbert]

I meant bbcode_editor_script.

Upload the new product file and over write the old one and change the code in the bbcode manager and it should work

[Muhammad Rahman]

I have uploaded and reinstall ..
still does not work ...

This my forum

[nerbert]

If you made that template change you will have to go back to bbcode_editor_script and revert it. If it shows red it needs to be reverted, so it gets the new version from MASTER STYLE
