De.scription and Message

I would like to remove the à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¹ Select à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ º and à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¹ Expand à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ º options from the quote/code boxes. I'm trying to pare down my IM141 for a cleaner look, and there won't be enough quoting and code snippets to warrant it anyways.

Can this be done through the ACP or do I need to comment-out/delete something?

comment/delete......

You have to rewrite the quote bbcode, rewrite it to its original look.
Take a look at your bbcode.php and the bbcode.tpl

I don't have enough php/tpl experience to recognize the appropriate lines to edit.

I looked at both files and did not see anything that might represent the 'expand' and 'select' options.

I believe templates/fi_divexpand.js is the .script that adds that functionality. Removing the .script calls in bbcode.tpl doesn't work because then it puts the quoted text in the header part of the quote... I assume it's missing a div when the .script call is removed.

Editing fi_divexpand.js affects code and php bbcodes as well. I little testing on my site ended with this that seems to work with minimal editing.

OPEN templates/fi_divexpand.js

FIND: (line 38)

Code: Select all

    document.write('‹ <a>Select</a> ›‹ <span><a>Expand</a> ›</span></div><div>');    

REPLACE WITH]     document.write(' </div><div>');    [/code]

*NOTE* - Part of the FIND code posted above is being parsed as html strangely enough... If you do this slight modification, you should A) backup your fi_divexpand.js and B) replace the second to last line of fi_divexpand.js (it's my line 38) with the code posted in the REPLACE WITH:

tmotley,

Thanks so much for the help! I'm almost there...I'm still getting this:

so-and-so wrote ([url=http]view post[/url]): à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ º

I'm trying to get rid of the link part so that my quote boxes will read:

so-and-so wrote:

I tried looking for some info to understand document.write better, but I'm afraid java .scripting is beyond my skill level at this point. Any ideas? Seems like I need just one more small edit (famous last words!)...

[tmotley]

I kind of like that (view post) part since it helps prevent someone intentionally misquoting someone... since a link to the quoted post is there.

I'll take a look at it tonight if I get a chance. Unless someone beats me to the punch.

[tmotley]

I would think this would work... back up your bbcode.tpl file just to be safe.

OPEN bbcode.tpl

FIND:
[code]  <BEGIN><script></script><table><tr><td><div>{USERNAME} {L_WROTE} ({U_VIEW_POST})]

REPLACE WITH:
[code]  <BEGIN><script></script><table><tr><td><div>{USERNAME} {L_WROTE}]

FIND:
[code]  <BEGIN><script></script><table><tr><td><div>{L_QUOTE} ({U_VIEW_POST})]

REPLACE WITH:
[code]  <BEGIN><script></script><table><tr><td><div>{L_QUOTE}]

[Sligo]

EDIT: it worked. thanks Tim!!!

I spoke too soon - there's still one issue left (see attached). If the quote is over a certain number of lines long, a scroll bar will appear on the side. I want to have the quote box auto-size to display all text, and never use the scroll bar. Can this be done?

[Sligo]

Any ideas?

This worked as far as removing the à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¹ Select à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ º and à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¹ Expand à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ º options.
