my.opera-quick-reply.js for Firefox (& Opera)
Tuesday, 11. August 2009, 21:21:43
my.opera-quick-reply.js is an Opera User Javascript by Ayush (Modified by Tamil... and now me - who's next ?) that allows to add formatting tools into the text area of comments in my.opera, and with extra animated smileys (including your own if you want to).
To have the same thing in Firefox (please, don't tell me you use Internet Explorer
...) you have to:
-install the "GreaseMonkey" plugin in Firefox (after installing it, you will have to restart Firefox)
- download this file : my.opera-quick-reply.js
- save the file as my.opera-quick-reply.user.js for example on your Desktop
- open the file in Firefox (drag and drop from the Desktop to the address bar of Firefox, press Enter)
- a dialog will open, asking you if you whan to install the script, accept the install of the script
From now on when you open a Opera comment page in Firefox, you should have all the edition buttons (bold, italic, and so on), including a very smiling smiley, when you click on it it will show all the smileys. Click on a smiley to insert it where the cursor is.
This version of the script also works as Opera UserJS (but you should keep the original name: "my.opera-quick-reply.js") and fixes a problem with the original script : the extra animated smileys can now be inserted into a text line (with the original script each appears alone on a single line, due to the use of the Opera [img] tag).

非常感谢 galanga！
Here is a snap shot of the smilies at the comment area, a bit messed up, but it's OK, I guess this is what you said "strange scroll behavior" on my blog.

谢谢你总是帮助我。

the bug your snapshot shows is only when I am anonymous, when I login (as galanga) it appears fine, like this :
Maybe you don't know, but I am a computer science engineer, so this was easy to adapt. The problem is that firefox doesn't have some Javascript functions that are available in Opera because Opera added them to be compatible with websites using the Internet Explorer specific Javascript functions (do you follow ? It's quite messy, isn't it ?).
So the trick is to change the functions that generate an error to the functions available in Firefox.
You probably notice that there's another bug: these smileys are each alone on a line, but this is a problem of the original script (because it uses an IMG tag). But you're animated smiley is on the same line of the text, so from where did you get it ?

Yeah, I have a general idea about your explanation about the missing Javascript function in Firefox, but please don't say I need to understand what's javascript, that's intimidating.
I discovered my smileys from a Firefox add-on, I haven't figured out everything yet, but I know what's the problem that our smileys can't go after a text. Here is the trick I found out:
You have to replace the existing IMG tag with the above line, I did this manually. Do you want a firefox add-on? Let me know if so.

Yes, it works now (in both Opera and Firefox) !
I will update the script on my blog post (not now, I will enjoy the sun, right now
Thank you very much for this piece of advice !

I discover that there's also something else interesting in this script: you can add your own smileys, to be available next to the animated ones. You have to change the path and add the list of the smileys starting from line 469 to the file (or search for "MySmiliesBase" and "MySmiliesList").
In the version here there is your last smiley (bye_girl) as an example.
Note: and now the same file (with the name unchanged : "my.opera-quick-reply.js") works in Opera as a UserJS file.

It should be also possible to remove smileys, if you know that you will never use some of them, by simply commenting out the corresponding line(s) in the corresponding tables before the "MySmiliesBase".

But you can also modify the file directly, it is located in the following path, if you use Windows (parts between "%" depends on your profile and system) :
c:\Documents and Settings\%your login%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%a directory with numbers and letters%\gm_scripts\-_myopera_formatting_too\
But there the filename is changed to "-_myopera_formatting_too.user.js" , as Firefox seems to take the title of the script to build this filename.
