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.

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:

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

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

Could you provide a link to your forum? This should only change the graphics, not mess with any functionality.

There's no need, I should had expleined it more!

Ok, look at the attachment, the problem is just happening with firefox, and thats because 16x16 are too small so the little color bar gets hidden.

Also on firefox the copy, cut and paste doesn't work, so it should be commented or some kind of conditional xP dunno.

I'll work on a fix for the line display in Firefox. Cut, Copy and Paste can be turned on in Firefox. Here are the instructions:

I'll make that an option and turn this into a proper product. Might take a bit.
