Administrative and Maintenance Tools - [AJAX] vB Forum Titles AJAX Editor 1.0.1

vB Forum Titles AJAX Editor

This is a simple modification that will allow forum administrators to quickly edit forum titles, including categories. This works on both forum home and forum display pages, and operates just like ajax thread title editing, simply double click on the forum cell and the editor will pop up allowing you to change the title.


Note
Please be aware that on some skins this may not be functional, I've done my best to ensure that compatability with all styles is possible, but there may still be a problem or two for those with heavily changed styles. Should you believe this is occuring to you, let me know below and I'll do my best to help.

* forum description editing,
* project tools title / descriptions,
* and works with vBSEO.
Nice addon

Excellent Hack. Nominated MOTM. Great find, thanks for sharing.

[derzok]

Hack does not work with forum titles that have single quotes (') in them. To fix, add:

function vbaddslashes (str) {
    return (str+'').replace(/[\\"']/g, '\\$&').replace(/\u0000/g, '\\0');
}

to the clientscript. Then change:

eval("element." + a + " = " + ((parseInt(attributes[a])  == attributes[a]) ? attributes[a] : "'" + attributes[a] + "'") + ";");

to

eval("element." + a + " = " + ((parseInt(attributes[a])  == attributes[a]) ? attributes[a] : "'" + vbaddslashes(attributes[a]) + "'") + ";");

in the same file

I'm using this hack for a very long time!

Is it posible to change attributes ID with CLASSES?

I saw that the code above its calling an ID, I would like to switch to "class" in order to:

<span id="forumtitle_ajax_$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</span>

can be:

<span class="forumtitle_ajax_$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</span>

I'd had a look inside the javascript and observed this:

if (spans[s].id && spans[s].id.substr(0, 16) == 'forumtitle_ajax_')
				{
					this.spans[spans[s].id.replace('forumtitle_ajax_', '')] = spans[s];
					this.seek_parent(spans[s], 'td').ondblclick = vB_AJAX_Forumlist.forum_doubleclick;
				}

How can I change from .id to .class?? Is it posible? I'm not a javascript expert so I dont know much about it.

Any help, will be appreciated.

Thanks.
