Tutorial Make the mentioning system easier to use

Post by Ange Tuteur April 24th 2015, 7:48 am

Make the mentioning system easier to use



By default, the mentioning system relies on the user to type out the name of the person you want to mention, sometimes causing errors and mistakenly tagging other members. This tutorial will provide you with three different ways to make mentioning your members more user friendly ! Smile

The method of installation will be via JavaScript, so make sure to navigate to JavaScript codes management in your Administration Panel. Wink
( Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management )

If you've recently created a forum, be sure that you enabled JS codes management by choosing Yes.


The first two scripts provided are optimized for all forum versions, provided you have not heavily modified your templates. You will see a variable at the top of these scripts titled version. Be sure to change the number to the one that corresponds to your forum version. The options are :

0 : PHPBB2
1 : PHPBB3
2 : PUNBB
3 : INVISION
4 : MODERNBB
5 : AWESOMEBB

( See this topic to find out your version )

Now, feel free to choose the features you want to install. Smile

  1. @ before the username in the profile
  2. Button for mentioning members
  3. SCEditor button for mentioning members



Make the mentioning system easier to use 09615110 @ before the username in the profile



This modification will allow you to add the @ sign before the usernames in the posting profile. Clicking the @ sign will instantly insert that member's name into the editor !

Create a new script with the following settings. Add

Title : Postprofile Mention
Placement : In all the pages
Code:
        /* FORUM VERSIONS
         * 0 = PHPBB2
         * 1 = PHPBB3
         * 2 = PUNBB
         * 3 = INVISION
         * 4 = MODERNBB
         * 5 = AWESOMEBB
         */
        $(function() {
          var version = 0;
        
          if (/mode=reply/.test(window.location.search) && my_getcookie('fa_mention')) {
            document.post.message.value += '@"' + my_getcookie('fa_mention') + '" ';
            my_setcookie('fa_mention','');
          } if (!/\/t\d+/.test(window.location.pathname)) return;
        
          for (var a = $(['.name strong a', '.postprofile dt strong a', '.username a', '.postprofile dt a ~ a', '.postprofile-name a', '.post-author-name a'][version]), b, i = 0, j = a.length, t = document.getElementById('text_editor_textarea'); i<j; i++) {
            b = document.createElement('A');
            b.title = 'Mention ' + $(a[i]).text();
            b.style.marginRight = '3px';
            b.className = 'fa-mention';
            b.innerHTML = '@';
            b.href = '#';
            b.onclick = function() {
              var n = this.title.replace(/^.*?\s/,'');
            
              if (version == 5) {
                var area = document.getElementById('quick-reply-textarea');
              
                if (area) {
                  area.value += '@"' + n + '" ';
                  area.focus();
                }
              
                return false;
              
              } {
                if ($.sceditor) t.insertText('@"' + n + '" ');
                else {
                  my_setcookie('fa_mention', n);
                  window.location.href = '/post?t=' + window.location.pathname.replace(/\/t(\d+)-.*/,'$1') + '&mode=reply';
                }
              }
            
              return false;
            };
        
            a[i].parentNode.insertBefore(b, a[i]);
          }
        
          $(function(){
            if (!$.sceditor) return;
            t=$(t).sceditor('instance');
          });
        });

Modifications : At the top of the script you will see a version variable. Make sure that the number corresponds to your forum version. Wink

If you want to style the @ sign, you can use the following CSS style rules.
( Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet )
Code:
/* default styles */
a.fa-mention {
  color:#333;
}

/* hover styles */
a.fa-mention:hover {
  color:#666;
}


If you want to change the @ to something else, then find b.innerHTML = '@'; and change the @ sign to whatever you want ! Smile

When you're finished, go ahead and save the script.

Modifications : At the top of the script you will see a version variable. Make sure that the number corresponds to your forum version. Wink

Additionally you will also see an image variable. This is the image for the button, you can changes this with the URL of your own button if you like. Smile

When you're finished, go ahead and save the script.

Go to JavaScript codes management, and create a new script with the following settings. Add

Title : SCEditor Mention Button
Placement : In all the pages
Code:
$(function(){
  if (!$.sceditor || /\/privmsg/.test(window.location.pathname)) return;
  var storage = window.localStorage, s = document.createElement('SELECT'), amis;
 
  if (storage && storage.faAmis && storage.faAmisExp > +new Date - 29*59*1000 && storage.faAmisUser == _userdata.username) s.innerHTML = storage.faAmis;
  else {
    $.get('/privmsg?mode=post', function(d) {
      amis = $('select[name="userfriend"]', d)[0] || 0;
 
      if (amis) {
        amis.firstChild.innerHTML = 'Select a friend';
        s.innerHTML = amis.innerHTML;
      }
 
      if (storage) {
        storage.faAmis = amis ? amis.innerHTML : 0;
        storage.faAmisUser = _userdata.username;
        storage.faAmisExp = +new Date;
      }
    });
  }
 
 
  $.sceditor.command.set('mention', {
    dropDown : function(editor, caller, callback) {
      var a = document.createElement('DIV'), b = document.createElement('INPUT'), c = document.createElement('INPUT');
      b.type = 'button';
      b.value = 'Insert';
      b.className = 'button';
  
      c.type = 'text';
      c.id = 'fa-mention';
  
      a.innerHTML = '<div><label for="fa-mention">Username :</label></div>' + ( s.innerHTML ? '<div><label>Mention a friend :</label></div>' : '' ) + '<div></div>';
      a.firstChild.appendChild(c);
      a.lastChild.appendChild(b);
  
      if (s.innerHTML != 0) {
        s.value = '';
        a.getElementsByTagName('DIV')[1].appendChild(s);
        s.onchange = function() {
          c.value = s.value;
        };
      }
  
      b.onclick = function() {
        c.value && callback(c.value);
        editor.closeDropDown(true);
      };

      editor.createDropDown(caller, 'insertmention', a);
    },

    exec : function(c) { mention(c, this) },
    txtExec : function(c) { mention(c, this) },
 
    tooltip : 'Mention a member'
  });
 
  toolbar = toolbar.replace(/quote,/,'mention,quote,');
 
  function mention(c, e) {
    $.sceditor.command.get('mention').dropDown(e, c, function(pseudo) {
      e.insertText('@"' + pseudo + '" ');
    });
  }
});


Now, let's add some styles to the stylesheet so our button has the correct image. Go to Administration Panel > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet paste the following rules and submit.
Code:
/* button image */
.sceditor-button-mention div { background-image:url(https://i.servimg.com/u/f19/18/21/60/73/scemen10.png) !important }

/* drop down input */
#fa-mention {
  background:url(https://i.servimg.com/u/f19/18/21/60/73/scemen10.png) no-repeat 3px 50% #FFF;
  padding-left:22px;
}


Click submit and you're ready to mention your members and friends !  Mr. Green
