WYSIWYG New thread/Reply

This is sorta neat... everything, instead of having the old-school type-in text box for replies and new threads, you have a Frontpage-like visual editor for your replies!

Supports colors, and everything! Here's how to install...

1. Back up your newreply and newthread templates, just in case. (I'm not responsible if you screw up and blow up your house.)

2. Instead of me giving you pieces of the templates to modify, since there are huge modifications, I'll just give you the templates themselves. You usually won't have to change anything, unless you installed some hacks that modify the newreply or newthread templates.

3. When people are posting/replying, be sure to let them know that before they can submit the form, they have to press the 'save' button that's on the toolbar.

4. Upload the images attached to forums/images/toolbar directory.

5. Enjoy!:bunny:

New version available here.

If I left out anything...let me know. ^_^

Yes. Like what was mentioned on the first page, HTML needs to be enabled.

Thanks, but I rather have a secured forum. (no offence, good job nonetheless)

How goes the compatibility issues? Would people using an older Internet Explorer or browser still be able to use this? Or say, a user using another browser other than Internet Explorer?

Incase there are issues, that is one reason It would be nice to have a USER CP option for members to choose which posting/replying interface they would like

PS: Don't forget to add it to the PM interface also

instead of making it so you have to have html enabled, why not either insert new tags into the database, or have the user put new tags in?

then html wont be on

I saw this hack working first he showed me first but he made me sign up for his forums lol

Seems not to work with Mozilla 1.0 That is not really good as it is used by some of my users (including me).

Why do you create html and not just bbcode text? The vB-Code bar is just not working, so you don't need it anymore. And Enabling HTML means you can't let your users choose what interface they want because of security reasons. And enabling HTML is not secure only because this one interface parses html - just create another form on your computer and submit it...

Anyway, this is a great hack, as far as it works with Mozilla I's install it

Excellent idea. I'll be adding this later today.

[GameCrash]

Hm, is it right that this does not take effect if you edit a message? That would be another security problem as then everyone can insert html code without problems...

We were thinking the same, sorry. But I have no intention to register on your forum, just to check a feature. You are finding ways to *spam* your site don't ya. It is either a little bit to obvious to me, or it just damn sure looks to me that way.
Sorry if it isn't your intention. Thank you for sharing this hack. I will download the files, try them on my test server and see how it looks there

Nakkid, by fixed, I meant fixed in my copy.

I will release a more updated version, that includes support for BBCodes and add in the interface for PMs.

Also, I'll see what I can do about making it use BBCode instead of HTML, but it will be kind of hard, as all the functions in Javascript are native to HTML...:\

Xiphoid, no, this isn't a scheme to get registrations and spam my forum. The only reason I said that you can check out my forum for it is because I have the hack installed there, and nobody else does.

Also, I'm planning on adding something like the BBCode enhanced/normal mode to it, where the user can choose WYSIWYG mode or plain-text mode.
