Added js buttons in new thread/reply thread

This hack adds the glow and shadow buttons with the bold and italics buttons.You must have the glow and shadow codes installed for it to work.

Files to Edit:Template(vbcode_buttons)
vbcode_language.js
vbcode.js

Under vbcode code template
>> Vbcode_buttons

add:

<input type="button" class="bginput" value=" Glow " onclick="glow(this.form,'glow','')" onmouseover="stat('glow')" title="Glow (alt+g)" accesskey="g"
><input type="button" class="bginput" value=" Shadow " onclick="shadow(this.form,'shadow','')" onmouseover="stat('shadow')" title="Shadow (alt+s)" accesskey="s"
>

near the other buttons,make it look like you want of course.

now for vbcode.js

At the bottom add:

function smilie(thesmilie) {
// inserts smilie text
document.vbform.message.value += thesmilie+" ";
document.vbform.message.focus();
}

function opensmiliewindow(x,y,sessionhash) {
// um... opens smilie overflow window.
window.open("misc.php?action=getsmilies&s"+session hash, "smilies", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width="+x +",height="+y);
}

// ************************************************** *****

function glow(theform,thetype) {
// inserts glow text - [glow=color]xxx[/glow]
glowcolor = prompt(color_text_prompt,"");
var prompttext;
if (thetype == "GLOW") {
prompt_text = glow_text_prompt;
prompt_contents = "color";
}
else {
prompt_text = glow_text_prompt;
prompt_contents = "";
}
glow = prompt(prompt_text,prompt_contents);
if ((glow != null) && (glow != "")) {
if ((glowcolor != null) && (glowcolor != ""))
theform.message.value += "["+thetype+"="+glowcolor+"]"+glow+"[/"+thetype+"] ";
else
theform.message.value += "["+thetype+"="+glowcolor+"]"+glow+"[/"+thetype+"] ";
}
theform.message.focus();
}


// ************************************************** *****

function shadow(theform,thetype) {
// inserts shadowed text - [shadow=color]xxx[/shadow]
shadowcolor = prompt(color_text_prompt,"");
var prompttext;
if (thetype == "Shadow") {
prompt_text = shadow_text_prompt;
prompt_contents = "color";
}
else {
prompt_text = shadow_text_prompt;
prompt_contents = "color";
}
shadow = prompt(prompt_text,prompt_contents);
if ((shadow != null) && (shadow != "")) {
if ((shadowcolor != null) && (shadowcolor != ""))
theform.message.value += "["+thetype+"="+shadowcolor+"]"+shadow+"[/"+thetype+"] ";
else
theform.message.value += "["+thetype+"="+shadowcolor+"]"+shadow+"[/"+thetype+"] ";
}
theform.message.focus();
}


// ************************************************** *****

save and close

In vbcode_language.js add:

glow_text_prompt = "Enter the glowing text";
color_text_prompt = "Enter the color you want to use";
shadow_text_prompt = "Enter the text that you want to have a shadow around";

near:

link_text_prompt = "Enter the text to be displayed for the link (optional)";
link_url_prompt = "Enter the full URL for the link";
link_email_prompt = "Enter the email address for the link";

save and close.

Now upload the 2 js files you should have added the glow and shadow commands to your buttons list in the add/reply to views.

Always backup files before modifying them.

I did not write this code fully.

It is a modified version of the code already in these 2 files.

The reason i did this is because i saw someone asking for this ode over at www.vbulletin.com and wasnt sure if someone already made it.

you missed on thing mate

in vbcode_language

add

glow_text = "Make your text Glow";
shadow_text = "Give text a Shadow effect";

below

img_text = "Insert an image into your message";


cheers for this hack mate

[StarBuG]

VERY NICE! Hehe

Is it possible to let the User define both (the font and the glow color? The same for Shadow??

Would be a great improvment!!!!

Hope you can help!

Thx

cheers for this hack mate

well thats an old button was included with it,so it should have been in there already.atleast i though it was.

[Bald Bouncer]

how come you can only use these once before getting a JS error?

[Xelation]

yes, please make a drop down menu!! that would be very helpful!

[Bioderm]

you get a js error.weird i have had no problems with it.

[Psychdrone]

like I siad before I have a problem also when I click it more than ounce!

[pogo]

I rewrote this hack because I couldn't find the error in the first version
I had the same problem that the Glow and Shadow buttons were working one time only.

Add this add the end of vbcode.js :

function glow(theform) {
	glowtext = prompt(glow_text_prompt,"");
	glowcolor = prompt(color_text_prompt,"");
	if ((glowcolor != null) && (glowcolor != "")) {
		if ((glowtext != null) && (glowtext != ""))
			theform.message.value += "[GLOW="+glowcolor+"]"+glowtext+"[/GLOW] ";
		else
			theform.message.value += "[GLOW="+glowcolor+"][/GLOW] ";
		}
	theform.message.focus();
}


// ******************************************************* 

function shadow(theform) {
	shadowtext = prompt(shadow_text_prompt,"");
	shadowcolor = prompt(color_text_prompt,"");
	if ((shadowcolor != null) && (shadowcolor != "")) {
		if ((shadowtext != null) && (shadowtext != ""))
			theform.message.value += "[SHADOW="+shadowcolor+"]"+shadowtext+"[/SHADOW] ";
		else
			theform.message.value += "[SHADOW="+shadowcolor+"][/SHADOW] ";
		}
	theform.message.focus();
}


// *******************************************************

Add this at the end of vbcode_language.js :

glow_text_prompt = "Enter the glowing text"; 
color_text_prompt = "Enter the color you want to use"; 
shadow_text_prompt = "Enter the text that you want to have a shadow around";
glow_text = "Make your text Glow"; 
shadow_text = "Give text a Shadow effect";

Insert this into the vbcode_buttons template :

<input type="button" class="bginput" value=" Glow " onclick="glow(this.form)" onmouseover="stat('glow')" title="Glow (alt+g)" accesskey="g">
<input type="button" class="bginput" value=" Shadow " onclick="shadow(this.form)" onmouseover="stat('shadow')" title="Shadow (alt+s)" accesskey="s">

possibly before

<input type="button" class="bginput" value=" B " onclick="vbcode(this.form,'B','')" onmouseover="stat('b')" title="BOLD (alt+b)" accesskey="b">

[Platinumgamer]

I am going to install this. Is there any chance someone could make something like this for alignment?
