Hate to say other wise, but that aint modulised, that is coppermine on it's own, if it where a module, you would see in the url modules/module-name.

The XOOPS site is:

Shame I would like to see coppermine modulised too, but there are about 6 or 7 gallery mods now.

Yes the code for the checkbox should be within the form tag, put it right after this:



More importantly, make sure you have set your cookie session to "custom" in your Admin Preferences -> General Settings -> Use custom session = YES, otherwise the hack won't work!

Btw, I tried Jan304's Login hack but for yours it should be the same.

Good luck

Ok guys Ive treid one of these versions...
(aud's) and it doesnt seem to uh work...but then I thought about something...inserting the code for the checkbox.....
should that be within the form tag? No one mentioned specifically...
but it seems like it should be or am i wrong? If thats not it I dont know really why it wont work?

Again , looks promising.

Depends on the htmlarea buttons you'll "give" them...

Just to put a general question out there... what are the main difficulties with the BB code editor right now? IMHO, it doesn't seem any more difficult than HTMLarea to use.


As developers we usualy can't look inside the users head, we think different, I used to end up giving too much options to the users, which made them not using any of them in the end.

So I started folowing my users (not just Xoops, but a lot of systems We made), and I'm talking about thousands of users: munivipalities, big companies and so... and I found out the abious answere - the most important thing for a user, almost all skills levels is the INTUITIVITY - they'll use something they are used to it (WYSIWYG looks like their WORD editor, and that's it ... they need the confidance of the friendly interface).

Xoops users might not need it so much, but the editors/moderators which are content ppls and not tech ppls, needs it badly, and when I gave them the option, they used WYSIWYG about 400% more then with the original BBCODE....I had to take off the wysiwyg hack for XOOPS 1.3.x, due to a very buggy hack, but I was very sorry about it.

So in the end we stayed with this answere:
users will use WYSIWYG much more then the BBcode, will feel much better with it, we simply need to think "how to" , "who to give the HTMLAREA options to" and "how much (options) to" to give, and be aware that every CMS will use it soon, due to the reason we all know - everything runs forward, not backwards !!!

Quote:
I usually just end up typing in the codes by hand, but I come form a programming background so this makes sense to me. Also I find typing the codes much faster. But what do others think? What is lacking and what makes htmlArea such a *great* alternative?


The answere is in the question - ppl's like to give their feelings, not just their content, and they do it with bold, colorfull fonts, they need the "redo - undo" of the WYSIWYG, the "copy - paste" is good for the comon user that don't know the CTRL+C and CTRL+V, the "find and replace for big articles, tables ability, special characters ability, "align right ... align left" , and, well, do I need to go on with this...

To make the editor 'configurable' (e.g. make certain tags/codes allowed or not) will bring up the same security issues as have been discussed with the htmlarea. The security threat here though is only the 'look' of the site, wheras with html could be far worse.


That's the point: it's almost the same security issues as the BBcode, that's the reasons it needs to be done by the XOOPS developers, and not as a CORE hack - it needs a lot of thinking and planing, but a good integration of it to the core (even just for the editors/moderators) will bring XOOPS one level up as a leading CMS (though to my opinion it's in the top right now !!!)

WOW - this was long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The XOOPS community done it again - I just come to see what's new and I ends up with killing a half work day, but well .. using XOOPS and seeing how much ppl's help to each others worth the effort !!!

Other than the needed extra data "cleaning" that is needed to allow HTML code in posts, this has always been my other reason to *not* want an html editor. For a community board maybe it is nice to allow people to change font color/face/size (??), but I don't think the result looks that great... and on a corporate support forum it will look extremely unprofessional. That leaves only 'bold', 'italic', 'heading', 'img'?, 'link', etc... The BB code already covers most of this in a very simple manner. There is also the 'color' code which is good as an alternative way to emphasize text, but it could in theory be abused. IMHO, the 'size' code should be dropped in place of a 'heading' code (possibly 2-3 levels worth of different styles).
