UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Finished-[6.3] Graemlin Panel Fix for non-Internet Explorer Users

Mod Name / Version: Graemlin Panel fix for non-Internet Explorer users

Description: This mod adds HTML compliancy to the graemlin panel, which in turn allows non-IE users to see the pop-up text for each one (ie. the markup string). This functionality is required in order to add graemlins to the shout box.

According to the html 4.01 specification, the ALT attribute should be used only for rendering when the image is not available (broken link, or render in a text-only browser).

Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

Thank you for the update!

No prob

I also recommend changing the following in all instances of ubbt.inc.php...

Line 1768:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="insertAtCaret(document.replier.Body, ' $code'); document.replier.Body.focus();"><img src="{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image" border="0" alt="$code" /></a>  

CHANGE TO:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="insertAtCaret(document.replier.Body, ' $code'); document.replier.Body.focus();"><img src="{$config['images']}/graemlins/$image" border="0" alt="$code" title="$code" /></a>  


This will allow the tooltip (markup string) to appear on both the newpost.php & newreply.php graemlins as well...again, for non-IE users

Won't that break editing of posts with graemlins?

Nope.

Well, old posts will break won't they?

Nope, nothing breaks.

If you don't believe me, just try it

Sorry, I must've been tired and didn't read you posts correctly. I thought you were changing the code that was inserted into the posts. Of course it will work without problems!

Hello I have ubbthreads version 5.5.1 and want to add more icons graemlins on the forum and I dont the way to do that may be you can tell me know what is suppose to do

Since many have not run 5.5.1 in a few years I think it very hard to tell you how to do this.

Best thing you can do is upgrade your Infopop members area membership and downloaded the latest greatest UBBThreads and take advantage of many many improvements.
