Quick Tags

Ok, after tweaking around in the code, i managed to restore Quicktags link in addnews and editnews in cutenews 1.5.3 and also some other things.

So if you're like me and don't use ckeditor, and want that useful link back, here is the deal.

Replace in
skins/base_skin/addnews/index.tpl, on line 74
and in
skins/base_skin/editnews/editnews/index.tpl, on line 83
this line
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<p>[url= onclick=]
[insert image][/url]</p>
</div>

with this
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<p>[quick tags]
        [url= onclick=]
[insert image][/url]</p>
</div>

Replace in
skins/base_skin/addnews/index.tpl, on line 89
and in
skins/base_skin/editnews/editnews/index.tpl, on line 110
this line
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<p>[url= onclick=]
[insert image][/url]</p>
</div>

with this
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<p>[quick tags]
        [url= onclick=]
[insert image][/url]</p>
</div>

Next in skins/base_skin/about/cutecode.tpl, replace on line 16 to 70 the whole javascript with this
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<script type="text/javascript">
        <!--
            function insertcode(type,var1,var2) {

            if(var1 != null){
            if(var2 == null){ var2='  '; }

            switch(type) {
            case 'link':
                code = '[url=]' +var2+ '[/url]';
                break;
            case 'image':
                code = '<img src=\"' +var1+ '\" alt=\"\" />';
                break;
            case 'bold':
                code = '<span class=\"bolding\">' +var1+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'italic':
                code = '<span class=\"italing\">' +var1+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'underline':
                code = '<span class=\"underlying\">' +var1+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'color':
                code = '<span style=\"color: ' +var1+ '\">' +var2+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'size':
                code = '<span style=\"font-size: ' +var1+ 'pt\">' +var2+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'font':
                code = '<span style=\"font-family: ' +var1+ '\">' +var2+ '</span>';
                break;
            case 'align':
                code = '<div style=\"text-align: ' +var1+ '\">' +var2+ '</div>';
                break;
            case 'quote':
                code = '[qu0te]' +var1+ '[/qu0te]';
                break;
            case 'list':
                code = '
\\n * Text1
\\n * Text2
\\n * Text3
\\n
';
                alert('Sample List will be inserted into the textarea');
                break;
            default:
            }

            code = ' ' + code + ' ';
            opener.document.addnews.{$area}.value  += code;
            if(document.my.ifClose.checked == true){
                opener.document.addnews.{$area}.focus();
                window.close();
                opener.document.addnews.{$area}.focus();
            }
            }
            }
        //-->
        </script>
</div>
On this last one, remember to replace the "0" in qu0te and /qu0te by regular "o". I had to do this because the code interpreter here was messing it.

Done, now it should be back and working.

Also if you want a valid img tag, with a regular /> closing slash, when you insert an image, go in
skins/base_skin/image/quick.up.tpl, replace line 44 with :
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
finalImage = ' <img '+ appends +' align=\"'+ imageAlign +'\" alt=\"'+ alternativeText +'\" src=\"{$config_http_script_dir}/uploads/'+ selectedImage +'\" />';
</div>

Now finishing with captcha.
I think you all see that the captcha bit when you want to insert a comment is appearing under the whole form and that you can't decide where to put it. That's the feeling i have and i don't like it, it is less flexible than the old ones.
To resolve this, here is what i have done.
Open skins/base_skin/captcha_comments.tpl and take the bit you want, like :

If your server don't have GD enable use this code :
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<td width="64"> <div>Captcha</div> </td>
        <td>
            <div><iframe src="captcha.php" style="border: 0" scrolling="no" width="200" height="70"></iframe></div>
            <div> <input type="text" name="captcha" value="" /></div>
        </td>
</div>
Remember to verify the adress of the captcha.php file here and modify it to match yours.

If your server have GD enable use this code :
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>
<td width="64">
            <div>Captcha</div>
            <div>Refresh</div>
        </td>
        <td>
            <div> <img id="comments_captcha" src="{$config_http_script_dir}/captcha.php?r={$captha_rand}" alt="" /> </div>
            <div> <input type="text" name="captcha" value="" /></div>
        </td>
</div>
On this last one, remember to replace the {$config_http_script_dir} with your cutnews installation path (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/cutenews). It won't work otherwise.

After taking the code bit you want to use, put it in your cdata/default.tpl (or the skin you're using) at the place you want in the comment form.

To finish, cancel everything in skins/base_skin/captcha_comments.tpl so that the captcha won't appear twice.

Hope this help some of you.
