Hm, I know this is sort of a far-fetched idea, but I don't really know programming or anything so please bare with me. But how about a modification that adds a hidden to the eye piece of text (or something) at the end of the what you're posting in the msg box or quick reply box (that you can't select over/remove) that acts as an achor, and when you click on a bbcode or smiley at the end it sends you to that certain text (which would scroll you back to the bottom of the msg/quick reply box).

If it's not possible, then that's ok, still one of the best modifications, thanks for all of your hard work.

Downloaded the newer version (I think) but it didn't work still so I still have to use my remove href thing. Except, there is one problem I've run into, if I type a really long post (that creates the post box to scroll) if I click one of the bbcodes or smileys it sends me back to the top of the posting box. Is there something in the mod_easy_bbcode.php file I need to change for it to stay where it is or go to the bottom of the post box instead?

Or is it possible to set up an anchor (that always stays at the bottom of the post box) that it sends you to after you click the bbcode? That way it would go to the bottom instead of the top, which is much better (imo) since it wouldn't make it so you have to scroll down to finish your post.

P.S. I really need to study HTML, XHTML, DHTML, PHP, etc.

One question, would it be possible to change it to allow smileys anywhere? Lets say I changed the smiley line (in the parser) to make it so you need a space before the smiley, that way if you want one it would be less likeing to have an effect before Example:(1) wouldn't do anything (since it would have to be Example :(1) for the smiley to work, and I doubt most people would put a space inbetween Example and :.

BTW I'm using Rickards Easy BBCode modification, so it would be better if someone selected a smiley in there and it would work in all cases.

Yeah, I know that's how selecting all works, I just figured that the box would have been using jscript to limit it to the box itself (not sure if that's possible though, so maybe not ).

Anyway, ok, I'll do that from now on, thanks for the reply.

ok I changed the line I said above to:

        echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t\t".'<a onclick="insert_text(\''.$smiley_text[$i].'\', \'\')"><img src="img/smilies/'.$smiley_img[$i].'" width="15" height="15" alt="'.$smiley_text[$i].'" /></a>'."\n";

and it works better now, but this isn't really a good way to do it I'm going to guess, I'll just use it for now until Rickard brings out a better fix.:P

How can one change this to work correctly? On FireFox it works fine for the most part...

If you select one of the codes it works, places it where the cursor is, or around highlighted text, which is good.
However, if you select a smiley it will automatically scroll you up to the top of the page, rendering it a useless function for the "quick reply" box at the bottom of posts.

Thanks for the mod though, works perfectly for the most part

Edit:
I think the problem lies here:

        echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t\t".'<a href="#" onclick="insert_text(\''.$smiley_text[$i].'\', \'\')"><img src="img/smilies/'.$smiley_img[$i].'" width="15" height="15" alt="'.$smiley_text[$i].'" /></a>'."\n";

in the mod_easy_bbcode.php file. I think because it's set to a href "#" it automatically reloads the page you're currently on after adding the smily to the post, so it sets you back up at the top of the page.

Thank you very much, Frank.

I third it... PM system would just take away from what makes punBB so great.

Nice change. Actually, since it felt natural I didn't notice the increased font size until I read your post about it.

I was wondering if someone would make this plugin, thanks a lot, makes things a lot easier when it comes to backing up the forum. I've tested optimize tables (it said it worked, but I didn't do db checks to see if this was the case).

I've also created a backup (using gzip compression), made a post and restored via the back up to see if it works, and it does. I don't know if I should try deleting my db and trying to restore via the backup from that or if I should wait until a problem arises that I need to use it though.

Anyway, thanks for the plugin, very helpful.

Thanks for the plugin, works well. After setting everything up it makes it so changing things in my site is easilly accomplished. That and the permissions system of punbb, thanks again. Just out of curiousity if I use the news plugin do you want me to put "powered by punbb" at the bottom? Or is the copyright at the bottom of the forum itself good enough for a copyright notice?
