New Posting Features - PNG Editor Buttons

As another step forward in usability, here is another simple template edit that uses the FAMFAMFAM Silk Icons for your editor buttons. These icons are in PNG format with alpha transparency so should look good on any background except pure black. Black doesn't work since most of the icons contain a lot of black.

If you have a lot of Internet Explorer 6 users, then you will need to install the following addon as well:
PNG Transparency for Internet Explorer - This will enable Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 to utilize PNG Transparency through DirectX filters. This is not needed for Internet Explorer 7 or higher.



Features

• PNG icons for Standard and WYSIWYG Editors
• Cut, Copy and Paste enabled in Editor
• Extra icons included for additional common BBCodes including superscript, subscript, audio, video, and horizontal rules.

Installation

1. Upload all images to yourforumpath/images/editor
2. Merge the style.xml file into each style you want to apply the changes to. This will only work on styles with unedited editor templates. If your editor templates are modified then you will need to revert them to apply this change. To do this follow the steps below.

Merging Styles

1. Go to Styles & Templates -> Download / UploadStyles.
2. In the Upload form, browse to the editor_png.xml file
3. For the Merge Into Style choose the style that these changes should be applied on.
4. Tell the system to ignore the version number (just in case).
5. Click Import.
6. Repeat for each additional style.

Note:
If you install this template modification after upgrading to 3.7.0 RC4 or later, you will need to manually add the security token notification to the three templates. This line of code needs to be added:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

If this is installed before you upgrade to RC4 then vBulletin will automatically add these lines during the upgrade process.

Update:
Updated to 3.7.3 with all code changes between Beta 2 and 3.7.3 applied.

This appears to have messed up Highslide image functionality within PhotoPlog for me. I imported the XML file into two styles out of several and now those two styles no longer show the thumb images within Photoplog or posts. How do I reverse this?

UPDATE
The issue was with the Replacement Variable that changed "photoplog" to "Gallery". This really messed up Photoplog. Why was there even a reference to Photoplog? Are there any other areas that I need to be concerned with?

Was running this successfully on 3.7.0 yesterday. Installed vBSEO 3.2.0 RC5 and then it failed to show the png icons in quick edit and new thread/post reply. On showthread_quickreply the png icons show but on the color selector instead of the colour of choice being displayed in a little bar under the palette icon, I get the address of my forum in text(which pushes all the icons to the right of it further out). Upgraded to 3.7.1 soon after and the issues are the same.

Anybody else with similar problems or solutions?

Yeah I've got the same thing. I think I'm gonna look through the .xml file and see what I can find. Hopefully it is something in there.

[Mr. Hoddz]

For some reason, lines 4-6 of the .xml file have these contents...

	<templategroup name="Replacement Var Special Templates">
		<template name="photoplog" templatetype="replacement" date="0" username="" version=""><![CDATA[Gallery]]></template>
	</templategroup>

That is the only section that a search pulled up the word "Gallery".



The whole thing that has changed is a phrase has changed the word "photoplog" to "Gallery" (case sensitive) and this is what is causing the problem. Can't see anything that would cause it, but maybe Wayne will look into it and see what's wrong.
