But (this modality I can see in my P 5.0) if you write a clear text message (with no BB-code formating tags anywhere else) with a plain text email address - it isn't converted to a clickable email address.

I thought it can be fixed using "Simple Text Replacement Mod" at the admin area of the Phorum. You can set replacement (as PCRE!) for

^ ([_a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+)@([_a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$

(do not forget to leave an empty characteristic after "^" at the beginning otherwise it looks to make messes with the BB-code module) to

$1@$2

(an empty characteristic at the beginning of the phrase again). I have tested this method and first time it looks working fine. You get a clickable email address from a plain text one in this way. It doesn't allow to make a clickable text (any text without a visible email) with an email as a link still. It would require a javascript function like that used by writing links and changes at BB-code module.
Second time it doesn't work at all. It's outlandish.

CU!

At this moment a plain text email address without BB-code tags for email are converted too.

I see. I can reproduce that at the phorum.org forums too. If I try to reproduce it on my latest 5.1 and 5.2 (which has a rewritten bbcode module) installations, I don't see this behavior. I'm not exactly sure right now where the difference is.

Yes, I understand, mmakaay. If you want to write an email address, you put it between and tags.

It's possible to add an "Email" button to the editor too (like it is seen here, it is very nice :-) : you add e.g.

line to the format.php or to the bb_texteditor.php among buttons at the bottom of these files. At the same time you add a line

echo "index['email'] = true;\n";

among similar lines at the top of these files and add language translations for "Email" and "Email help" for this line into language files at mods/styleedit/lang.

But (this modality I can see in my P 5.0) if you write a clear text message (with no BB-code formating tags anywhere else) with a plain text email address - it isn't converted to a clickable email address.
And this is changed at the moment when you use any other (not only ... tag) BB-code tag somewhere else. At this moment a plain text email address without BB-code tags for email are converted too.

CU!

I don't understand what you are trying to say hoowoo, sorry.

About the mailto: not working: that is because the bbcode module apparently looks at mailto://... and not mailto:... This is a bug, but till now it didn't really get noticed I think (it's probably not used a lot by forum users). I'll take a look at the code. In the meanwhile, you can also use ... for placing a clickable email address in the message. Or even put in the bare email address, since that one will be converted to a clickable address automatically too.

Hi,
I suppose there is a bug with the 'Insert URL' button when you want to insert a mailto instead of http://
For example, I use this button with "toto@freetoto.fr" an print into the js box "mailto:toto@freetoto.fr"

This give it to me :
toto@freetoto.fr

and not :

toto@freetoto.fr

I've tried to solve it but I'm not good in regular expressions

Thank you in advance for your help

Hallo, I do not think this is a text editor bug but I do not understand the code perfectly. This is interesting: if you write any BB-code tag into a text of a message than the BB-code modul is activated and than you get a good trasnscription.

I try to think about a solution and I'll write if I'll find any.

The latest iteration of this module as listed in the files at the start of the topic has some hardcoded language (non-english) when you click the Picture bbcode button. It's easy to correct, on 235 of the include/bb_texteditor.php file. I changed mine to:

echo "x = prompt ('Enter the URL of the image:','[&];);\n";

I noticed all the echo statements there too. Isn't that a bit of overkill? Wouldn't it me more efficient to just have that as HTML instead of embedded in PHP?

Hi Maurice,

OK now I have installed the "editor_tools" module, the "topic_smiley". The "bbcode" module was already there and the "smileys" too.

There seams to be a bug on my version. When I write this :

line 1,
line 2,

line 3

I get this

line 1,line 2,

line 3

It looks like the return carriage will not work if it's only once. But here, it works well !?!?!

Do you have any idea?

Regards,

Yves

That message in which that file is posted explains it all: "If you enable the Topic Smiley module in addition to the Editor Tools module, it will override the functionality of the subject smiley tool button. Instead of simply adding smileys to the subject, it will make sure that at most one smiley can be used in the subject and that this smiley is always placed at the verty start of the subject."

This is a module that extends the functionality of the editor tools. So somewhat like a module for a module. You only have to install it, if you like to give the subject smiley button the functionality as described above.

Thank you Maurice!

I also see other file such as "topic_smiley-1.0.2.tar.gz". What are these ?

Yves

The one that is used here is called "Editor Tools". In Phorum 5.1, there's already a very early version of the Editor Tools module included. To install the version that is used on this website, disable the existing Editor Tools module in the Modules admin screen and delete the existing directory mods/editor_tools in your Phorum directory. After that, you can install the Editor Tools module (download the editor_tools-x.y.z.tar.gz from the linked thread). Instructions are in the included README file.

Hello,

I would like to add on my phorum the module that allow users to edit the style of the text just like the one I see up here
B U I ~~abc~~ etc.

But I a bit confused with the all the editor tool provided on this Phorum. Which one is the right one? i don't feel like try him them all... :-(

Thanks,

Yves

Just post it to the appropriate thread, then I'll pick it up and put it in the distribution. This thread is not about my Editor Tools module, so better stop posting in it.

Re: Text style editor

Nicola — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 11:42:05 -0500

Thanks as usual Maurice. I have translated the module you have made so now there is an italian version which is available. Just tell me where and to whom I should send it.

Thanks again.

Re: Text style editor

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 11:15:05 -0500

Instead of topics, you mean forums probably. Topics are the lines of discussion that are started in a forum.

No, it's not possible to have a different set of smileys for each forum. Or to put it better: It is possible, but there is no ready-to-go solution for that, so it would need coding to create a module that does handle this specific wish.

Re: Text style editor

Nicola — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 10:12:38 -0500

Is there a chance to create templates allowing diferent smileys?

i.e. I can customise templates for different topics. Is it possible to customise smileys for different topics as well?

it really doesn't belong in this topic.

Re: Text style editor

Nicola — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 08:35:44 -0500

I am translating now the language file in Italian.

Some words have the apostrophes ' but if I insert one it invalidates the script. Is there a way to make it appear on the text?

Moreover once I finished with the translation I would like to make the language file available. How may I do that?

Thanks.

Where can I download it or find instructions?

Re: Text style editor

Thomas Seifert — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 08:02:14 -0500

that module was made for phorum-5.0.x, phorum-5.1.x has another template-structure.
you really want to use the editor-tools provided by maurice which don't need template changes.

Re: Text style editor

Nicola — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 08:00:48 -0500

I have downloaded Style_editor.zip

In the readme txt file the instruction is to edit cc_pm_post.tpl, edit.tpl and post_form.tpl

I cannot find these files!!!

Can anyone suggest and help?

On the other hand the module shows and I have also turned it on but I guess without editing these tpl files it won't work.

Thanks!!!

If somebody need this here it is:
In bb_texteditor.php put this

Re: Text style editor

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 11 May 2006 16:52:55 -0500

Since this means you probably can code PHP, you should be able how to change the bb_texteditor.php. What you can use in the code is $GLOBALS["PHORUM"]["DATA"]["MODERATOR"] which will be set to a true value in case the current user is an administrator.

Re: Text style editor

pixelz — Thu, 11 May 2006 15:50:14 -0500

Because, I write some new tags in bbcode.php only for moderator and users dont know thay exist and because they can make a chaos with those tags.
How to do that in bb_texteditor.php?
