Just unzip and upload to the proper directories. It's of beta quality, so you may see a bug or 2 here and there depending on your setup

For an example of what this will be able to do, check the bottom of this page:

The beta here still needs to be prettied up and somehow adding the ability to view graemlins inline ubbcode would be nice too

http://www.ianspence.com/common.js

you could use something like that for the built in graemlins. and possible have the CP write the graemlins file in a js compatible way as well

Wow, that's nice... It'd go perfect with that mod ian did to calculate the total number of characters put into the QR box heh...

Just load it at the top as well and voila?

I believe that would work. As long as the graemlin file was included before the other js file

hmmm... it's not quite that easy I have it loaded but the smilie code isn't being converted.

demo?

I had a different function name, you might need to update the onclick function

thanks, I'll try to look at it sometime this weekend

Allen, have you had any luck with your gramelin issue?

completely forgot about this one If you have time, be my guest, or I can look at it next week when I get back

I've looked at it, I'm not seeing a fix for it, the javascript is a little over my head there
