Hello everyone,

I'd love to have in my phpbb website the same buttons and smiles I can see right now while I'm writing... How can I get this in the page where you write posts and replies? (I think is in posting.php, correct?)
I'd love to have the buttons for "bold", or the "list bullets", etc...
How can I do this?
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

Allioth

Wow! THAT was fast!!!!

My only concern is that I've got already a style mg_autumn, and I wouldn't like to change everything...
How can I change only the posting bbcode images without changing the entire style?

Thanks for your patience

I understand what you say... But in here you have A LOT more buttons and options than the standard BBcode...
how do I get all these things?

To give an idea, this is my posting page... As you can see it looks so dull compared to yours!

Sorry to be a pain... but I'm really new to all these BB things

This site don't use a "plain" PHP version. It's running IcyPhoenix

! If you want buttons and all features, then use Icy Phoenix !

Informpro is right Alioth...

If you also want to use the features you can use IcyPhoenix or you have to install other mods to your phpbb3 board.
The right place to ask for the last thing is phpbb3

You can find one of the examples here:

http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/advanced_bbcode_box_3

But I 'm sure there 's more than one mod available (possibly 3) for extending the message editor (I can not tell you what is a good one yet because I have not gotten arround to modifying this part myself yet (and I would need a good dark version, verry different form a light/white version you need)

Best thing to do is search the mod database at phpbb.com and compare the (maybe) 3 types that exist.. or post a question like TheSteffen told you!

Greetings,
...Joshua203

PS... before doing anything I would start updating your board, because looking at that screenshot ... I think you are not up to date ( phpbb3.0.8 ), or you have not fully updated

Thanks Joshua,

I just downloaded it and tried it with 3.0.8 - Works fine, and it is skinable and actually comes with some different backgrounds.

Haven't found anywhere where it says something like "Change Theme" - I suppose that would be asking too much.
