[RELEASE vB2.0] Code Buttons and Clickable Smilies (major update)

i love the hack, the only annoying thing is it means you can't use the tab button so easily when replying to get to the post box... to get that to work would require a major rehash of the templates (puting the text box on the left where Your Reply is now and the putting all the vb code and smileys on the right.) maybe in the future i might do this though.

any ideas

calendar requires the change to be made twice, did you do it twice (one for public one for private events i assume).

edit: that is in calendar.php i mean.

This could be fixed with the 'tabindex' property:

The TABINDEX attribute can be used to set a tabbing order for the user to navigate around the main <FORM>. For example, if <FORM> elements have TABINDEX properties set, when the user is focused on an element, pressing the 'Tab' key will pass the focus to the element with the next highest TABINDEX property.

thanx mate spot on i forgot the second instance works like a charm now...kudos to kier on a job well done

Kier, i have most of them but i don't see the paddle pop one in the members area, maybe it was because i am half asleep

How to specify the max number of smilies to display on the posting page? in another word how to set value of $maxSmilies ?

One question though: Why don't you use the vbulletin standard template mechanism in order to integrate it fully into it and make it easier to let it be included in a next version?

Most of the hack is handled through the standard template system. The only thing that isn't done with templates is the text for the onmouseover prompt box. All the text for this is included in the vbcode.js file, in order to speed-up page load times, as the vbcode.js file is cached by the browser. It's easy to find the text to replace in the vbcode.js file though, if you want to change it.

Looks very good! One thing though; The standard javascript-prompts are ugly as hell, it would be very nice if a next version contains self designed popups where you can fill in some parameters...

The only thing that uses a javascript alert() prompt in version 1.2 is the [help] link. If you are referring to the actual text prompt boxes, I won't be altering these, as loading a new page for each prompt is (IMO) too slow and unneccesary for a simple text input.

This is explained in the documentation. Simply add two arguments to the call to getclickysmilies() on each page.

For a table with 3 columns and 10 smilies, use this:

PHP Code:

$vbcode_smilies = getclickysmilies(3,10); 


Kier-

Just wanted to say thanks for the great hack.... I got it up and running in no time thanks to the great docs, and really love it.

Thanks

Without a more in-depth explanation of your error, all I can suggest is that you didn't copy the new code into functions.php properly.
