[RELEASE]new vbcode.js - vBcode and smilie user interface improvement

[smithy256]

thanks but i cant install it because im a complete newbie.

[Delhaze]

I have the latest version installed and all is well.

I would also like to congratulate the VB team for allowing this file to be posted.

You have completely restored my faith with your new common sense approach.

It will also reduce the number of hits I was getting to this file on my board.

Great hack!

Hi Scott,

really a great hack! Works like a charm, "installation" was easy.

And thanks to the vB Team, too.

P.S.: At least it works in NS the way it did before, so this is not really a drawback...

Found a problem with this hack. If I go to edit a post I made, the content of my post does not show up within the text field. I had to revert my editpost template back to the original. Anyone else experiencing this?

I found the script and used it...I had problems with my netscape users...they seemed to get script errors...when this ran.

Not sure what it was...I didn't get to test it with netscape...

EDITED - I thought this was the original thread you started. I didn't see the new vbcode.js at the top of the page...I came into this thread via 'lastpost'. I got the last vbcode off Ztsky's site and that one didn't work.

This new one you posted works great! Thanks.

Ok question: Is there any way to make this script work with the "Get More Smilies" pop-up window. So that when they click on a smiley in the pop-up window that it updates the textarea in the last spot the cursor was?

Disable Smilies

Been there, done that. The responses I got from my members were 100X more viscious than the responses I got when I tried disabling post counts. You might think I had imposed a one post allowed per week per user curfew!

I meant just in that post, which if you notice I edited and turned smilies off.

Please post screenshot of this hack.

Ugggh, too many changes..too much time for such a small improvement with no complaints now.

When I first saw this it was "cool"..just replace the file. Then, I saw the LONG list of changes to a bunch of files.

Oh well.

[tubedogg]

Honestly, it took me approximately 60 seconds to make all the required changes...

jucs please

Scott - I added the 'get more' smilies additon...works awesome....it even brings the user back to their textarea in the original window after.

I'm sure if we wanted we could even put a 'close window' in the link to so that once they choose the smilie and added it...it closed the window all in one click.


I wonder if that would be good....or if the window should stay open.

Here is the code to CLOSE the 'get more smilies' window after you click. This will allow the process of adding and closing the 'get more smilies' window a one click process.

AFTER you make both Scotts changes just change your vbcode__popup_smiliebits

From:

<a href="java script:opener.smilie('$smilie[text]')"> 

To:

<a href="java script:opener.smilie('$smilie[text]'),self.close()"> 

Very simple and makes things cleaner. Not for everyone though....some people might want to leave the window open to add more. But I'll just let the user open the window again.

Thanks again Scott and Vincent Puglia for this....truly a simple yet very useful addition.

You forgot to mention to add the code to the editpost template.
