[UserJs] Code/Formatting Tools in Quick-Reply

[UserJs] Code/Formatting Tools in Quick-Reply

A little userjs that adds formatting tools (b,i,u,list,url,sub,font,color etc...) in quickreply. See <> screenshots.

Script also supports keyboard shortcuts. Press [Ctrl] key ^{dont hold it down} then press the shortcut key.
Example: to activate Bold(B), press Ctrl then press B

There is also a Reselect text feature. If you dont like that, open the script and set AutoReSelect to 0.

note: the smilies button isn't working yet ...

On a semi-related subject, are you having "problems" with the text entry/edit fields in the forums?

example: Type a few words then move your cursor back and try to insert something between them.

When I do that the cursor jumps to the end of the text

No. Works fine here Maybe some other userjs ?

I've been going through them, it's the "myopera-community-enhancements.js" script

aw.... I have to check the cursor positioning thing.
There are some nasty bugs setting selectionStart and selectionEnd in merlin, which are fixed in kestrel
Disable the tab replace feature meanwhile.

Call off the dogs!

I was having numerous UserJS problems when logged in here as myself, the problems went away if I logged in as a different user.

I canceled my membership in one group (Opera Veterans) and all the problems solved at once

Maybe Kestrel didn't think you were really an Opera veteran...

Anyway, Ayush, thanks for the fix.

No, this was happening in both Opera 9.23 and Kestrel.

I had to disable the scripts, for the time being. Deleting my group memberships did not do the trick.

I only saw the issue with the cursor jumping to the last character in a text area when trying to edit/add something in Kestrel. I was not aware that this issue was also seen in Merlin...

That was the case for me as well. Has anyone came up with a solution that I am not aware of? I would really like to enable the scripts again.

One thing that really confused me was if I logged in as a different user in the Opera community, the problem went away.

I have no idea exactly why or what was going on, I'm just glad it is over as that was a real pain.

Am I to understand that removing your group memberships seemed to have fixed the problem for you?

Originally posted by DynaBMan:

Almost, at the suggestion of canceling group memberships I removed one.

I had joined 7 groups total, I canceled the one membership, went back to the forum post that was already open in another page. Reloaded it and all was right with the world.

I have no idea why canceling 1 of 7 group memberships cleared the problem.

Well, I canceled all of my group memberships and the problem still exists. I would like to get it straightened out because I really like the clean effect it provides on the forums. Maybe I can figure something out later.

I too am using:

• Community Enhancements
• Community Optimizations
• Quick reply formatting tools
• Multipopup
• Ospell

and a handful of others, it's hard to deal without them.

I think xErath is working on a fix.

Just to confirm, I just opened 9.23 and it does not have the editing text problem with the community scripts enabled. Not on my computer, at least.

Kestrel#9562 broke it - fixed a userjs-bug that broke this script
Script updated : B]

Thanks for the update.

A Smalll update (because of the new widgets.opera.com ):

Do these Tools work in Quick Reply ONLY, or also in Opera Mail Client Compose Message view?

Only in Quick-Reply boxes of myopera.

Are you talking about Quick-Reply Boxes in Opera Forums? I thought, such Format Menu is the Opera (or other) website feature, and not the Browser's (obviously OS & Browser supportable). Am I wrong?

What about similar Format Panel for Opera Mail Client - is it adaptable? Why?

like the quick-reply textarea in this page.

On the Post reply page, it's a website feature but on this page, there is no format menu without userjs.

Originally posted by arnymars:

User-Javascripts can't change anything outside webpage

small update (for new myopera): B]

Thanks AyushJ!

thank you

Nice. Thanks for the update.

I don't know if you people have noticed yet, but there is a smileys button in the bottom right corner of the quick reply box

When it is enabled it hides part of text box

And where and how can I disable that, please?

Just use Block Content to block it.

Originally posted by dude09:

Ah, that...
I thought there would be some setting in this script?

[EDIT]
This blocking method cannot be used, because I am loosing my smilies facilities in 'Edit' mode of a post...
Not when first posting, however.
Strange...

I think that's a new feature of the forum added after the upgrade/changed...
but it's horrible to be useful, because it block 1/3 of the text box.

They should make it to display the icons in horizontal along the bottom of the textbox instead.
Anyway, we don't need it because we can simply use AyushJ's userjs - It better anyway...

I don't use it, I am using exclusively smilies *AyushJ* is offering...

and that, because it's not going away and because it's coming in the way with other userscripts I have...

One add-on wish of my heart, I would like to have fulfilled, please *AyushJ*, have a look...

Before making lots of words, I'll show a picture here:

Quick Reply - my wish

Most important:
moving those STATUS/INFO buttons about 'Spotlight' and 'Subscription' to the right in the line of the 'Post Reply' button...

Hope some more would like this design too?

@HaJotKE: Personally, I think that your last wish is beyond the scope of this script. If there are no objections (Ayush), I wouldn't mind accomodating your request in the myopera optimizations script. Just a suggestion...

HaJotKE- You can use UserCSS:

#addsmilies,.postreply {float:left}
#addsmilies+p,.buttons {float:right;}
.forumtools,.pagenav {clear:right;margin-bottom:0}
#quickreply {border-top-width:6px!important;padding-top:4px;}
#addsmilies,#addsmilies+p {margin-top:6px}
#addsmile{display:none}

No problem

@HaJotKE: Added your suggestions. Nothing I added touched the smilie interface and buttons. I just implemented the changes from your previous post. enjoy!

Thanks Ayush!

Hello *AyushJ* and *fearphage*, thank you both very much, it's looking great now, marvelous!

You made me a fine birthday present by that, yesterday, BTW...
Thanks, once more!

thanx a lot ayush

Bug in 1.2.6: The email button has '' in the box although using the email tag automatically adds this. Resulting in

mailto:mailto:foo@bar.com

addresses.

Another 1.2.6 bug: There is no check for the existence of the comment box. On pages where the forum is closed, the textarea is absent resulting in an error:

JavaScript - http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=206102
