Select Content Button


Hello Forumotion members,

In this tutorial, you will discover how to put a 'Select Content' button for every code box as seen on this forum. This tutorial is compatible for all forum versions.

An example of the 'Select Content' button as seen on this forum:

select - Select Content Button Selectcontentbutton

Clicking it will automatically select the contents of the code box:

select - Select Content Button Selectcontentbutton2

Step 1:
- Navigate to... Administration Panel → Modules Tab → Javascript codes management → Create a new javascript

Step 2:
- Call it whatever you like and set its placement to all pages.

Step 3:
- Once you have done that, you will need to add the following code into 'Javascript Code' field :

Old version:

New version added
Apply for PhpBB2, PhpBB3, Invision, PunBB and ModernBB version
Code:
function selectCode(e) {
    var s = $(e).closest("dl").find(".cont_code,code").get(0), range, selection;
    var a = s, z = s;
    while(a.nodeType == 1 && a.childNodes.length) a=a.firstChild;
    while(z.nodeType == 1 && z.childNodes.length) z=z.lastChild;
    if (!$(a).is('.fixff')) {
        var fix = $('<span class="fixff"/>').insertBefore(a);
    } else {
      a = a.nextSibling;
    }
    if (document.body.createTextRange) {
        range = document.body.createTextRange();
        range.moveToElementText(s);
        range.select();
    } else if (window.getSelection) {
        selection = window.getSelection();
        range = document.createRange();
        range.setStart(a, 0);
        range.setEnd(z, z.nodeValue ? z.nodeValue.length : 0);
        selection.removeAllRanges();
        selection.addRange(range);
    }
};
$(function(){$("dl.codebox:not(.spoiler,.hidecode)  > dd.code, dl.codebox:not(.spoiler,.hidecode)  > dd > code").closest("dl").find('dt').append('<span onClick="selectCode(this)" class="selectCode">Select Content</span>')});
For AwesomeBB version
Code:
function selectCode(e) {
    var s = $(e).closest("div").find("code").get(0), range, selection;
    var a = s, z = s;
    while(a.nodeType == 1 && a.childNodes.length) a=a.firstChild;
    while(z.nodeType == 1 && z.childNodes.length) z=z.lastChild;
    if (!$(a).is('.fixff')) {
        var fix = $('<span class="fixff"/>').insertBefore(a);
    } else {
      a = a.nextSibling;
    }
    if (document.body.createTextRange) {
        range = document.body.createTextRange();
        range.moveToElementText(s);
        range.select();
    } else if (window.getSelection) {
        selection = window.getSelection();
        range = document.createRange();
        range.setStart(a, 0);
        range.setEnd(z, z.nodeValue ? z.nodeValue.length : 0);
        selection.removeAllRanges();
        selection.addRange(range);
    }
};
$(function(){$("div.codebox:not(.spoiler,.hidecode) ").find('p').append('<span onClick="selectCode(this)" class="selectCode">Select Content</span>')});
Step 4 :
Go to  Administration Panel > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet

Add the following to your stylesheet to style the select content button and submit :
Code:
.selectCode { float:right; text-transform: uppercase; cursor:pointer; }
div.cont_code { clear: right; }


If you have done all the steps correctly then you should have a fully functioning 'Select Content' button appearing for every code box. Wink

The JavaScript has been updated since an issue with Chrome and Firefox.  You need to update your JavaScript if you are using it.
