[Kier]

This thread is discontinued. Please go here.

Current version: 0.7 - now includes [ list ] and smilies support.



The documentation and downloadable code for installing this hack can now be found at http://kier.3dfrontier.com/vbhacks/vbcode.php. Please continue to post your comments and questions in this thread.

Let me know if there's any other functionality you'd like me to add, and I'll tell you if it's possible or not, and probably implement it if it is.

Another winner from kier! They've got something like this in UBB 6. When I saw it there I thought... that would be cool to have in vB. Now we do

Really really good job. Makes it a lot easier and better. Keep up the good work.

I always wanted a hack like that, excellent man thanks

good work..yet another fine hack

GREAT! Easy as pie, just my font select doesnt work? The code won't show?!?

Got a URL where I can go and check out your problem? PM me if the site is online but not yet public.

Whoa! This is great!

The only thought I have on it is -- Have you seen what *gag* Hotmail has done (not to mention the only browser that their new function works in is IE which it crashes every other time when using it .. but hey)?

Basically it makes it so if you change/do the font it updates the message window and actually SHOWS the change -- not the code.

Just a stray thought.

Idea though:

Any way to make it so that the selected text is formatted? And is there any way to make it just insert the beginning tag and make the button appear "indented" and when they click it again it inserts the closing tag? And if they didn't insert the closing tags on hitting send it inserts closing tags for them.

?? huh huh huh how about it ?

Thanks -- an excellent hack by the way. My users love it!

Absolutely great!!! Very well done.



I have just one thought, though. Maybe add the ability to do lists in a future version?

Overall, extremely well done.
