BBcode Buttons & Smileys

uzi · April 2006

I had in my old forum BBcode Buttons and Smileys Buttons:

I need the same feature in Vanilla and I think the "BBCode and Smilies (v1.0)"-Extension will do it. Is it right?

The Smileys can be converted from

or

with the "Transmogrifier"-Extension. I only need some code that inserts the

and

....

BBcode would be also very useful to add the bbcodes automatically.

Yeah, currently we don't have any code-inserting toolbar extensions.

One significant barrier to this idea is that there is no delegate where the toolbar should go, at least in my version.

Just tell me where you want it and I'll add it. Now is the time, since the launch is nigh.

Right now the Comment Form template looks like this:

      $this->CallDelegate('CommentForm_PreCommentsInputRender');
      echo '<li>
         <label for="CommentBox">
            <a href="./" id="CommentBoxController" onclick="'
               ."ToggleCommentBox('".$this->Context->Configuration['WEB_ROOT']."ajax/switch.php', '".$this->Context->GetDefinition('SmallInput')."', '".$this->Context->GetDefinition('BigInput')."'); return false;".'">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition($this->Context->Session->User->Preference('ShowLargeCommentBox')?'SmallInput':'BigInput').'</a>
			

         [= Delegate goes here. The echo will need to be split up into two parts. =]


	 '.$this->Context->GetDefinition('EnterYourComments').'
         </label>
         <textarea name="Body" class="'
         .($this->Context->Session->User->Preference('ShowLargeCommentBox') ? 'LargeCommentBox' : 'SmallCommentBox')
         .'" id="CommentBox" rows="10" cols="85">'
         .$Comment->Body
         .'</textarea>
      </li>
		'.$this->GetPostFormatting($Comment->FormatType)
	.'</ul>';
   
   $this->CallDelegate('CommentForm_PreButtonsRender');

Ditto for the Discussion Form template (after the #CommentBoxController link, but before the "enter your comments" text).

To be honest, I don't know what besides a comment toolbar extension would use something like this, so I don't blame you for not putting one there.

Yes Bergamot, I think it's a good place for the tool

It would be a great extension for Vanilla

Done:

      echo '<li>
         <label for="CommentBox">
            <a href="./" id="CommentBoxController" onclick="'
               ."ToggleCommentBox('".$this->Context->Configuration['WEB_ROOT']."ajax/switch.php', '".$this->Context->GetDefinition('SmallInput')."', '".$this->Context->GetDefinition('BigInput')."'); return false;".'">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition($this->Context->Session->User->Preference('ShowLargeCommentBox')?'SmallInput':'BigInput').'</a>';
				
	    $this->CallDelegate('CommentForm_PostCommentToggle');	
					
	    echo $this->Context->GetDefinition('EnterYourComments').'
         </label>
         <textarea name="Body" class="'
         .($this->Context->Session->User->Preference('ShowLargeCommentBox') ? 'LargeCommentBox' : 'SmallCommentBox')
         .'" id="CommentBox" rows="10" cols="85">'
         .$Comment->Body
         .'</textarea>
      </li>

extreeeeeeeemly minor quibble: for consistency's sake, shouldn't the delegate in the Discussion Form template be called "DiscussionForm_PostCommentToggle".

Makes no difference to me really, since I'd be tossing the same code in both places.

Mark · April 2006

dammit - my bad.

My hangover apologizes.

Fixed now.

Bergamot · April 2006

Rockin.

I suppose now I have to write the damn thing.

uzi · April 2006

To Bergamot: We would be very happy

uzi · April 2006

Now we have a very beautiful extension for the smileys!

how do i install this? where do I stick the files? or is this not for .0.9.2.6?

uzi · April 2006

In the add-on repository is everything listed, you require the version 1 (current svn) of Vanilla for this extension. For 9.2.6 it will not work.

Just unrar and add the vanillacons folder into the extensions folder on your server

Minisweeper · May 2006

this thread just came back to the top when it claims to be 3 days old. Whisper bug?

WallPhone · May 2006

I saw that too. But commenting on it in the thread kinda makes it less obvious :-)

Minisweeper · May 2006

yeah but you can still see the previous threads are 3 days old. I noticed it on a different thread a while ago too.

uzi · May 2006

Yes mini, I whispered! Should not be, what? BUG?

Minisweeper · May 2006

it should for anyone that isnt you and the person you whispered to.
