I think that the Instant Graemlins, Instant UBB Code, and Font Color javascript tools should also be added to the send a private message page like on newpost.php. An altered one to not have polls should work fine.

for v6, this is easy to do, you just need to add

code:
 $instant_ubbcode = $html -> instant_ubbcode(); 

---

to the sendprivate.php somewhere, and insert

code:
 $instant_ubbcode 

---

into the template for it, and also will need to change the textarea tag in the template to add the attributes:

code:
 onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" 

---

if you're adding it to v5, you'd need to copy over the instant_ubbcode function into the html class, change the textarea and more or less make the same changes. That, and you'd need some of the new smiley images.

This sounds great! But I can´t get it to work on 6.1.

Everything looks great when creating a private message, but nothing happens when clicking the Graemlins, Instant UBB Code or Text Color.

Here´s what I did

In sendprivate.php:

code:
 // ------------------
// Check for any bans
   $userob -> check_ban($user['U_Username'],$Cat);

// -------------------------------------------------
// Instant Graemlins
   $instant_ubbcode = $html -> instant_ubbcode(); 

// -------------------------------------------------
// Find out if this user is taking private messages
   $User = rawurldecode($User);
   $User_q = addslashes($User); 

---

In sendprivate.tmpl:

code:
 <br />
<br />
<textarea  onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" cols="$TextCols" rows="$TextRows" class="formboxes" name="Message">$RawBody</textarea>
<br />
$instant_ubbcode
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="ccopy" value="1" class="formboxes" />
{$ubbt_lang['MESS_COPY']} 

---

What have I done wrong?

This hack will help you add Graemlins to the Private Message form.

Hope that helps!
