Another ? ubb code
 

I'm still working through things here. Sorry - another question.

What ubb codes work in the comments?

My gallery mod is trying to use them and getting this type of thing coming up when editing. This looks more like html to me. I'm confused about what should work.

Can you direct me to some instructions on what ubb codes will work there in the comments?

Also, the bbcode and smiley box used to be beside the comment box, but since upgrading the software it's not there any more.

There should be a help link

The bbcodes that work are these

Smilies Legend

I am not aware of any type of smilie box being on a non vb integrated version and you are not using vb. There should be just a comment box.

Thank you. That's helpful.

Is it normal that when you edit a comment you are looking at html instead of the ubb codes? It's very hard for people to do edits like that. Sometimes when you edit, the correct codes don't produce the smilie or the result you want. It just displays as text. You have to delete the comment box and use a new one. Is that how it normally works?

Our previous installation must have been modified to include the ubb & smilie box on the posting screen.

Any reason why the colour code [color:red] tag wouldn't be working? I tried a few here: gallery.backyardpoultry.com/showphoto.php?photo=67493

well the ajax editor is new so that could attribute to viewing things different but can not comment further without finding an older version and trying it out. what is stored in the database is html because once you use bbcode we translate it to html.

I'm just thinking about how to get some sort of ubb/smilies help popup added for users, so am looking at comments.tmpl

What is this part for? I am a newbie at this but at first glance it looks like there is some sort of help pop-up, or is this something else?

echo<<<PPPRINT
<tr>
<td class="$Style[tddetails]">
$pplang[addyour]:<br /><br />
<span class="$Style[small]"><a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/ubbcode.php')">$pplang[bbcode]</a><br />
<a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/smilies.php')">$pplang[smilies]</a></span>
</td>

How about in the quickcom template you add after the statement $pplang[addcomment]

You add this

That works. Thanks.

To avoid having to click another link as well, is it possible to get the ubb codes and the smilies displaying on that help/comments.php?

well you would have to alter templating accordingly to however you wish for it to display I guess.

Thanks for the tips, Chuck.

I altered the pop-up to use the smilies file and then copied it and added a separate pop-up for the ubbcode. It works for what I want that way.

<br /><a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/smilies.php')">$pplang[smilies]</a>
<br /><a href="javascript:PopUpHelp('help/ubbcode.php')">$pplang[ubbcode]</a>

I appreciate the help Chuck. :)

yep everyone has there own ideas. ;)
