I thought I'd change the appearance of the codebox before I uploaded my IP.

And here it is if you would like to use it.

The details are in the zip.

What I did do was to drop all the L/R images and the phpBB codesheet, although I did create new buttons for them too, and rearranged some of the order, and added a spacer. :mricy:

They are all transparent, so that one can change the colour in the .css :P

@MG - There's a message for you in the picture! :lol:

I did notice one thing this morning in the CMS - The spacer before the "Media" needs to moved into the media block so that it doesn't show in the CMS.

But, I'll wait until MG says if he wants to use it as the default before I do any more to it. ;)

Also adding the "color" to the common.css is a mistake because common.css doesn't have color, so that may need to be moved too. But again that's best left to MG to decide what happens.

:P

I'm pretty sick at the moment but they look stunning in the CMS and the post and PM tables. I could have probably used two pixel red borders and changed the media buttons to to round icons just like the flash example so that they are all alike - and I'll do that too even if you don't want them.

the rest of these posts will hav eto wait because I;m relly struggling hrer, ;)

Wow! did I write that garbage in the previous post - Shows what happens when one is drugged up to the eyeballs with morphine, cocaine and Diazepam. :(

Re the buttons MG - No offence - But with the pink theme I made, the "default buttons" look awful. :P

Ha ha ha... no offence taken... :P

Those buttons should be converted into CSS buttons, so to avoid the need to making them for every template. Again, it's just a matter of time for doing them properly. :sad:

I wish days could last 48 hours and being in the office less than 12 hours... :sad:

Take care...

Sorry, but I actually disagree on this one. :P

IP's code-box is a dinosaur or a relic from the the past, and so is phpBB3's

I'm not going to elaborate but from experience there are better ways of doing things, like I added the smilie insert to JitBit at my hobby site in the same manner that they add everything else, even tough I do still need to re-process the [img tags for the smilies to make them WYSIWYG so that they don't generate thumbnails.

The script auto-closes open tags, so the Oh!-Oh! - second image warning in Icy's editor-bar wouldn't be required. ;)

Neither would the "Help Line" because it tells you on mouse-over what things do - All browsers being on a level playing field of course? :P

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<button title="bold" onclick="doClick(\'bold\');" type="button" style="background-image:url(\'editor/images/b.gif\');">&nbsp;</button>

<button title="italic" onclick="doClick(\'italic\');" type="button" style="background-image:url(\'editor/images/i.gif\');">&nbsp;</button>

<button title="underline" onclick="doClick(\'underline\');" type="button" style="background-image:url(\'editor/images/u.gif\');">&nbsp;</button>

<button title="hyperlink" onclick="doLink();" type="button" style="background-image:url(\'editor/images/url.gif\');">&nbsp;</button>

Interestingly enough there are now two wysiwyg bbCode editors on the market that are GPL that possibly deserve a look at.

http://wysiwygbbcode.codeplex.com/

http://www.sceditor.com/

And as I dread to mention MyBB - It appears that Sam Clarke is quite prepared to support it and the editor for use in forum software.

Edit:

Dammit! I just realised in cutting that <button script into here that I never converted the titles to $lang['vars - that can stay in the wilderness until more important things have been attended to. :lol:
