I can't think of anything else to say.

Seriously, good work man.

Screw pinned, this should be in the announcement section so every one sees it.

It seems that my site's been down for a few hours, but it should be working now again.


@tornado rex
•Thanx for mirroring.
•Cursor between the tags if nothing was selected sound like a good idea.... I'll see if I can get it there... it's not that trivial
•popup for the the quote-source is also a good idea

@waste
Hope you get it to work....

@Svip and GT-1
I did not refuse you for personal reasons.

@Svip
Where can I find the BBcode syntax for the various list-types ?

@stefaan, Sweetsaprik

There are some more things I'm thinking about trying to implement.
• If make list is performed, with some lines of text selected, it will no longer popup the dialog windows, but it will convert the selected lines into a list.
• I would really like an option, that lets you select a local file, and automaticly uploads it to imageshack, and inserts the correct BBcode for a thumbnail into your document. I'm not yet sure if this is feasible...

Sorry if it seems like I'm trying to hijack your topic, Patrick.
Not my intentions.

[Pilate]

Very cool stuff Patrick. Thanks!

This owns.

One thing though, and keep in mind that I know nothing about programming and such, so I don't know how difficult this would be. I have your extension, BBCode 0.3.7, and BBCodeXtra 0.2.2, and the latter allows for pasting an image link, then selecting it and choosing img, instead of only pasting from the clipboard. And once I've accidentally pasted the link, it's quicker to use the other extension than it is to cut and then select clipboard > img.

The only reason I even bother to bring up something so trivial, is because if your extension had the option of doing it either of the two ways, I'd have no use for either of the others. As of now though, I'm keeping the BBCodeXtra just for when I forget and paste without thinking. Again it's no big deal, and it only takes a few seconds, but I type so slow that for me, even a second determines whether I'll post something useful of just repeat what's already been said.

Either way kudos, I've seen lots of people do things "for" the forums, but this is one of the few things I've seen that were for the forums exclusively. And this time I'll remember to vote the topic good.

[PatrickW]

Thanks again everyone for the feedback...

@SWEETSAPRIK:
This functionality has already been added to the next release.
It'll also have:
- attribution pop-up for quotes
- cursor position inside the tags, if performed without an initial selection
- numbered lists
- selection -> (unnumbered)list
- table-entry by pop-up
- headerfields in tables
- some reshuffling and renaming of the menu lay-out
- some other minor things I forgot

I'm in the process of getting the current version of the gtafcode-extension listed on the official firefox extension site.
Once that is done, the next release will be soon....


I could also include a couple of smillies in the menu, but not:
I'm thinking of adding these:


Additions/replacements are welcome ..

I don't know the limitations, but, how about in the options menu (assuming that there is one) you have a tab dedicated to the emoticons, to let the user pick the ones that they use most.

[red_porshe]

Nice work. I really like the table thing it makes making tables easy. You could also do a align button as well. Its a really good extension and easy to use! Thanks.

That it should, but I think Patrick is waiting until the next version of the extension is finished.

You seriously must freeze your sperm for future generations.

It's on the firefox extension list.

I went to annoy them into adding it, and found that it was already there. So I rated it, left a comment, and downloaded it again just for good measure.

Pointless. You'd be able to find and click the one you want faster than you can right-click the posting area, and navigate the menus to it.

[PatrickW]

As some have allready noticed, this extension is now officially released at
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extension...info.php?id=649

I've also already uploaded an update, which should be available in the comming days.

PatrickW updated the first post of the topic.

[Big Slow]

Wow, you are the man. I'm constantly awe-inspired by the sh*t people can do for one forum. Thanks again as this makes things a lot simpler.

[Marklund]

It's awsome dude.
How did you make it? C/C++/VB/VB.net ?
I would really like to know how you did it.

Great job Patrick.
