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

I'm using php 3..

I fixed the problem now, must have been something with pasting, but now I have another problem...

I can't add smilies by clicking on them, when I click on b.. it keep adding b tags not /b tags, and that goes for every tag.

Could it be that I'm doing something wrong? or is it IE5.5?

To close a tag, click the 'close current tag' button, or switch to 'normal mode'

Love the hack.

Thoughts: How about an admin function to enable/disable this "ability"?

Also, is there any way to make it so that if you click the button again it checks to see if the previous tag is the same one you're clicking on and whether or not it's closed yet? And if it is closed it?

And *pants* is there any way to make it so that the button appears to be in a "down state" when enabled, so the above comes true..

Thus eliminating the ned for a "close all tags" button...

?


Thanks,

BTW, Awesome hack, loved it since day 1 -- and GREAT! Can't wait to see it in Beta4!!

Freddie says he will be doing this for the integration in beta4. I was planning to add it for the next version, but as freddie volunteered...

Also, is there any way to make it so that if you click the button again it checks to see if the previous tag is the same one you're clicking on and whether or not it's closed yet?

I will be adding this tonight. <quote>It was on the to do list, but didn't quite make it into the last release</quote>

And if it is closed it?

Hmm... perhaps... it would be easy to do, I'm just not sure that I would want to... I'll mull it over.

And *pants* is there any way to make it so that the button appears to be in a "down state" when enabled, so the above comes true..

Using <input type=button> buttons, there is no way to specify a 'down' appearence for the buttons. They would need to be images for this, which I don't want to do.

Thus eliminating the ned for a "close all tags" button...

I don't actually understand why this would remove the need for the 'close all tags' button... my users actually requested this specifically, so that they could close a {quote}{b}{i}{u} tag set with a single click.

Good points.. My users are stupid .. and don't read this board.. That is stupid when it comes to technology.

The close all button is great to have. Saying to get rid of it didn't make sense after i asid it ...

And it'd be easy enough for me to create the image states in replace of the button, so no worries.

I personally like where you're going with this -- great work!

**waits impishly for the next version**

That's fine .. Just let me know when it is "done".

Kier, I have to say this is one incredible hack. And now that it's going to be implemented in beta 4, even better! Congratulations on a job very well done!

I noticed after implementing the hack that when you send a PM the smilies on the left don't work. Is this normal?

Thanks,

Michael

I donno, this may be dumb. But my users LOVE adding glow text. Any way you can add a drop down bar with colors to make text glow?

<table border=0 style="filter:glow(color=red,strength=1)">

Just an idea?


mkilty - I get the same thing

What exactly is glow text? I keep hearing about it but I've never actually seen it I don't think...
