UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Finished-[6.5] Enhanced Instant UBB Code 1.01

Mod Name / Version: Enhanced Instant UBB Code 1.01

Description: The way how Instant UBB Code functions behave has been reworked.

The buttons for Center, Superscript and Subscript were added and the behavior of some of the tags was changed.

Now you are able to highlight a word first, and then press one of the following tags: Bold, Italics, Underline, Quote, Code, Center, Superscript and Subscript.

These enhancements work in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Mozilla. They don't work in Konqueror, not sure about other browsers, they should work in all IE based and Gecko engine based browsers.

very very awesome

1 little typo in the instructions:

[]######## in \templates\default\ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl

#### Search for:
} else {
textEl.value = textEl.value + text; // for non MSIE browsers just append it[/]



should read:
[]######## in \templates\default\ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl

#### Search for:
} else {
textEl.value = textEl.value + text; // for non MSIE browsers just append it
}[/]

added the "}"

otherwise, its excellent! - and a painless install!

great mod

Thank you, fixed.

Anno, awesome hack!

Thank you for sharing...

I'm using a Macintosh and it works for me with Navigator and FoxFire, but not with Safari or Explorer.

Does anyone know how to modify it for Safari and Explorer?

Nice work

Great mod - one of the things that has bugged me for a long time was that ubb.threads just shoved everything at the bottom of the post's text entry box when I use Firefox. This fixes it and adds the ability to highlight and stick tags around things that I've also kinda missed after seeing it on competing software.

Any chance you could do something similar for the color box?

The color box? The Font color box has the same functionality as the bold or italic tags.

Try it out

Hrm. You're right. I could have sworn it wasn't doing that before . . . Yeah, my 6.4 site just shoves the color tags on the end of the page. I guess your code added for the script to surround text makes that happen?

Nice rework Anno!

I only added three more language items for center,subscript and superscript

Yes.
