I have just started using XOOPS and It turns out to be a great piece of software for me. However, I have two main concerns, that someone might be able to help me solving:

1. I want to change the width of the quickreply form in CBB. What file is responsible for this? The quickreply form seems to be called via a function from the template, and I guess I need to find out what file this function, with its parameters, is defined in.

2. Is there an easy way to bring in the quote-button below the quickreply form? I am referring to the button that pastes the text you're replying on into the form. I believe this button was removed in some version of cbb, but I need it.

Thanks! hoping for some advice

You would be better directing this question at the module developers in the first instance. CBB support can be found at http://xoopsforge.com/

CBB is a major module for XOOPS and well supported.

Please do come back here if you get no joy there.

Thanks, I'll try!

They are currently closed for new user registrations, though.

I am not sure about the status of xoopsforge.com at the moment. Phppp is moving a lot of stuff back to xoops.org / dev.xoops.org so ... i guess for now this forum will do fine in this case even if in the very recent past xoopsforge.com was the place to go

Regarding question 1 i can´t help.

Regarding question 2: What was removed is the quote button display on every single reply. You can reenable that most likely by following the instructions i wrote in this topic:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=47240&forum=28#forumpost207510
(Post #6)

Note that this was for an older version and line numbers might have changed since then. (could even be completely removed but i dont think so - cant check from here right now)

the proper place for technical support about Cbb is the official forum in d.x.o.
open discussion

1- for change the row and col open newbb/viewtopic.php around line 572:
$quickform "textarea";
    
$editor_configs = array();
    
$editor_configs["caption"] = _MD_MESSAGEC;
    
$editor_configs["name"] ="message";
    
$editor_configs["rows"] = 10;
    
$editor_configs["cols"] = 60;

you can change type of editor in the first row. all others are obvious.

2- #OOPS - read Bender post

edit:
- its good to read this faq about cbb before posting:
http://xoopsforge.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=407&forum=1

Q: where is quote
A: the "quote" button has been moved to edit/reply page. In other words, once you enter the edit page, you will see the "quote" button beside "submit". The change was made considering a balance between user-friendly and speed.
In the past, we had some reports from users that may help you understand the changes we made: what's the difference between quote and reply, they just confuse; when I use WYSIWYG and click "quote", nothing happened; I have too many buttons on the view page, can we remove the useless ones.

I've found this too, but changing the $editor_configs["cols"] doesn't seem to have any effect. Changing the rows works though.

That note is partly the reason for me asking. The button has been removed so i suppose it could be possible to add it again =) I guess the main reason of its removal is the fact that it does not work together with wysiwyg, but I won't use that anyway.

Hello? Did you check the link i posted?

I just looked at cbb 3.07 and its still correct. The lines have been moved to 397-399 but other than that you can still do what i wrote under that link.

Yes. It seems like you weren't referring to the same quote button as me? I am talking about the one which, once pressed, pastes text into the reply form. Not the quote button next to edit/reply/delete.
