Preview and copy buttons for Edit Template

Ok don't give me a bunch of crap if I'm posting this wrong, this is my first little contribution to VB.

In the short time I've been playing around with VB, I've already become annoyed at editing templates. I added two little javascript buttons to the page to make things easier.

Copy - click the button to highlight all the text in the textarea and copy it to the clipboard in one step

Preview - opens a new window displaying the html from the message area. It doesn't replace the variables with any value, but does gives you an idea of layout and color changes

for VB v2.0.1

well, i pulled it out. The documentation doesnt warrent my attention any longer. There is no way of knowing where this thing starts, or where it ends.

It's a great code man, try again. Follow it eactly, I'm a newbot I got it. I installed like 5 hacks today on my new forum. Some for me to make my life easier and some for the users. Re-up your orig files and start from scratch. It's really worth it.

Any hints?

You need the first three lines:

PHP Code:

$ButtonExtra="
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">
function displayHTML() { 


It works fine with them.

ok, i will, but give me a breakdown of what you did, because i may be adding code, that has nothing to do with actually being there, since the documentation runs altogether like it does..
something like this..

Find blah.

PHP Code:

report error 7 


add

PHP Code:

blah 


find

PHP Code:

blah blah 


add

PHP Code:

blah blah blah 


If you could do that for me Lubi, it would be most appreciated.

See, i dont even see that line anywhere in the documentation...im going fuc*ing blind i think...

[ToraTora!]

this is all done, within the admin/template.php file correct?

I mean, there isnt some other file, or some other template possibly that im missing here...

[ToraTora!]

edit templete.php

right at the begining of the script just after
<?php
error_reporting(7);

add
$ButtonExtra="
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">
function displayHTML() {
var inf = document.name.template.value;

There is the first line you added and the three above it. There should haved been a space between the "add" and the first line of code.

Yes. The code you displayed before wasn't formatted correctly. Mine starts like this:

PHP Code:

$ButtonExtra="
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">
function displayHTML() {
var inf = document.name.template.value;
wintwo = window.open(\", \", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no, scrollbars=yes');
wintwo.document.write(\"\" + inf + \"\");
}

ok, here is what i got so far...


add after report error 7

PHP Code:


$ButtonExtra=" 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\"> 
function displayHTML() { 
var inf = document.name.template.value; 


Find

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start add #######################
makehiddencode("group", "$group"); 


and add above that line:

PHP Code:

makelabelcode("","$ButtonExtra"); 


Find

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start edit #######################
makehiddencode("group", "$group"); 


and add above that line:

PHP Code:

makelabelcode("","$ButtonExtra"); 


than of course, you have all of this...and that is the problem, as well as no closing tag for the java script...

PHP Code:


{ var inf = document.name.template.value; win = window.open(\", \", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no, scrollbars=yes'); win.document.write(\"\" + inf + \"\"); } function HighlightAll() { var tempval=eval(\"document.name.template\") tempval.focus() tempval.select() if (document.all){ therange=tempval.createTextRange() therange.execCommand(\"Copy\") window.status=\"Contents highlighted and copied to clipboard!\" setTimeout(\"window.status=''\",1800) } } var NS4 = (document.layers); // Which browser? var IE4 = (document.all); var win = window; // window to search. var n = 0; function findInPage(str) { var txt, i, found; if (str == '') return false; if (NS4) { if (!win.find(str)) while(win.find(str, false, true)) n++; else n++; if (n == 0) alert('Not found.'); } if (IE4) { txt = win.document.body.createTextRange(); for (i = 0; i <= n && (found = txt.findText(str)) != false; i++) { txt.moveStart('character', 1); txt.moveEnd('textedit'); } if (found) { txt.moveStart('character', -1); txt.findText(str); txt.select(); txt.scrollIntoView(); n++; } else { if (n > 0) { n = 0; findInPage(str); } else alert('Not found.'); } } return false; } "; 


Where does all of that, go....lol
