Text style editor

some enhancement first ...
I changed the preg from the first part to this more reliable thing:

if(phorum_page == 'read')  $formarea = "body";
if(phorum_page == 'post')  $formarea = "body";
if(phorum_page == 'moderation')  $formarea = "body";
if(phorum_page == 'control')   $formarea = "message";
if(phorum_page == 'edit')   $formarea = "body";

And I've added the default to the color-selectbox too:

<OPTION VALUE="default">- <?php echo $TE_lang['TE_sizedef']?> -</OPTION>

as otherwise you can't select black as it seems.

and a question (sorry, I can't work with your js-code as I don't even understand the variable names ;)) ...
For the select-boxes (color and size in my case) would it be possible to put in the close tags too if there is no text selected? Otherwise I don't see a way to close those tags with a click (beside entering it ;)).

Just hit the Button a second time - it's magic !
;-)

pat

there is no button for the select-boxes aka drop-down lists ;).

uuups,
sorry I didn't think of that - just had in mind that hitting a button twice does the trick and didn't think of the dropdowns.

Try it pls, in the same way as buttons: select a color (without selecting a text), then write a text and then select "black". This choise doesn't insert a color (I do not make a difference between the default and the black color, it doesn't matter for common visitor I think) but simply closes a color tag - you get a default color.

Well I see, this could be really enhanced - for anybody who makes his phorum default text color different from black, isn't it?

Heh, yes. I've changed that behaviour too, so that users can add "black text" too.
Any simple option to add the opening and closing tag if no text is selected?
I don't want to force this on everyone so I would have no problem if its a change which I only do on my forums ;).

Well, I understand: you want to insert a tag wherever you place a cursor, both you have a marked text or not, or at the beginning or at the middle or at the end of a message.

It is possible for FF and Mozilla:
1. find the mozWrap js function and modify the condition of if (s2!='') -> to -> if ((s3)||(s2!='')) then you get a code line
if ((s3)||(s2!='')) { txtarea.value = s1 + lft + s2 + rgt + s3; donecode = false; }

2. Find a script description "// add anchor" and then delete the same condition if (s2!='') with all the corresponding bars both () and {} below.

Unfortunately, for MSIE users (most of all users) I just do not sense the way how to arrange it.

Oh, that's nice:-) You can use this simple shape probably too (until any sudden Phorum changes don't appear):

$formarea = "body";
if(phorum_page == 'control') $formarea = "message";

Wow, it's made!
Everybody (FF, MSIE users) are allowed to insert tags into the message (also empty tags without a pre-marked text) everywhere they wish (and place the cursor). Tx to Fred (http://diskuse.jakpsatweb.cz/). It seems working right:-)

The basic editor so far, the enhanced one will come soon.

The editor tested and fit to the Opera browser.
It operates with Phorum 5.0.16 right. Still I cannot manage to run the Ph 5.1.0 so I cannot say how it works with it.

The basic editor.

The enhanced editor tested and fit to the Opera browser, tested with the Phorum 5.0.16. In addition to the basic one, you can select whether unregistered users may use the editor, and registered users can manage their own policy.

"Forms named" and "Getforms" files are modified to use with an other module with its own form (such as the poll module). The message area is better specified there. If the "Getforms" does't operate, you should use the "Forms named" (you will need to work with it more but do not be afraid about it :-) ).

Be cool to use the simple enhanced editor (or the basic one if you do not need to select users for the editor) if you use a single text editor, or try it if you are not sure about the reason for the special ones.
