AJAX Personal Text v1.0

Introduction
An AJAX-based personal text updater, which will place a user's personal text at the top of the forum. When it is clicked, it turns into a text box and allows the user to edit their personal text on the fly, without ever leaving the page.

Features
o A small line of text is put next to your username at the top of the (default) theme. Add the following where you want this to go in other themes:

Code Select Expand

&raquo; <span style="font-size: 80%; padding: 3px;" id="update_personal_text">', !empty($context['user']['personal_text']) ? $context['user']['personal_text'] : $txt['ajax_personal_text_none'], '</span>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // -->
// Ajaxify that personal text!
if (typeof(window.XMLHttpRequest) != "undefined")
{
aPersonalText[0] = new PersonalText({
sBackReference: "aPersonalText[0]",
sScriptUrl: "', $scripturl, '",
sSessionId: "', $context['session_id'], '",
sLabelPersonalText: "Personal Text",
sBoxBackground: "transparent",
sBoxBackgroundHover: "#ffffff",
iBoxBorderWidthHover: 1,
sBoxBorderColorHover: "#adadad" ,
sItemBorder: "1px solid #ffffff",
sItemBorderHover: "1px dotted gray",
sItemBackground: "transparent",
sItemBackgroundHover: "#e0e0f0"
});
}
</script>
o To use this mod, just click the line of text and it will turn into a text box!
o There are NO admin features for this modification.

> Initial Release

[Nathaniel]

Good little mod!

Its making me wish that I knew how to use Ajax.

[Fustrate]

I'm also now working on making a system where you can use email to update your personal text don't know if I'll ever release it, because it involves setting up an email forward which I know would just confuse a ton of people who will post questions like "what is a cpanel?!?!"... and I just don't have time for that

But anyways, enjoy!

Hello;

Turkish Translate:

Modifications.turkish.php:

Code Select Expand

$txt['ajax_personal_text_none'] = '<i>Kişisel İleti Girilmemiş</i>';

Modifications.turkish-utf8.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['ajax_personal_text_none'] = '<i>KiÅŸisel Ä°leti GirilmemiÅŸ</i>';

Edit : Problem Turkish character İı Üü Şş Çç Ğğ
example :  ı =  %u0131

$text = strtr($text, chr(231).chr(199).chr(254).chr(222).chr(240).chr(208).chr(253).chr(221).chr(246).chr(214).chr(252).chr(220),
         'cCsSgGiIoOuU')

Could this be downgraded to work with SMF 1.1.5? ^^' Just curious.

[Fustrate]

Yes, it could. I'm not sure if I even have the time to do it seeing as school starts in three days, but I'll put it on my list of things to do.

[[SiNaN]]

I don't use this mod on my own but there are complaints in the Turkish Language Board that it doesn't work the Turkish chars. Do you have a fix for that?

[Fustrate]

It's the javascript... I have no clue how to fix that, but I'll start researching it ASAP.

[[SiNaN]]

Okay, probably other language users will also have a problem like this.

[Fustrate]

Hmm... can you ask them when exactly the error occurs?

Starting off with a Turkish personal text, does it show up correctly in the box when the page first loads?
- If they try changing it to English, does it save?
- If they try editing it and press "Cancel" instead, does it revert back to the original Turkish or is it messed up?

Starting off with English, does it display correctly?
- If they try changing to Turkish, does it save?

[[SiNaN]]

Sorry for delay, I had to test it myself.

1) Yes.
     a) Yes.
     b) Revert back to original without problem.

2) Yes.
     b) Yes.

It saves and shows correctly on the page you change it. But when you pass to another page, it is messed up both in that box and forum profile page.

To add; some other bad news: I'm using FF 3.0.1 and it doesn't work on it. I've tested on IE.

[Fustrate]

I also use FF3.0.1, and it works fine for me. Tested on Opera, IE6+7, Safari on Windows and Mac, FF3 on Linux.

It's obviously not saving correctly to the database. I'll look into that this afternoon when I get back from Ultimate Frisbee class and Psychology

[[SiNaN]]

Well I don't know. I couldn't get it working. I'm at school, so could be something blocking the js.

Problem seems to be here:

script.js line 1274:

Code Select Expand

sendXMLDocument(smf_prepareScriptUrl(this.opt.sScriptUrl) + 'action=xmlhttp;sa=personal', 'text=' + encode(new_personal_text));

Cause when I check the $_REQUEST['text'] in Xml.php, it comes there already messed up.

[Fustrate]

Try changing encode( to encodeURIComponent(

[[SiNaN]]

Nope, the characters are changed now but its again messed up.

What I enter: => asdğüşiçö
What is in $_REQUEST['text'] => asd?ü?içö
What is diplayed => asdğüşiçö

They are more likely to be utf.

[Fustrate]

What we need is a javascript function that will convert everything it gets into HTML entities, so that they can safely be sent through to PHP which can decode them quite easily. I'm looking around, but there's not much out there on this subject.

[Fustrate]

New version uploaded, this one works with multiple languages (for the buttons) and saves your personal text when you press 'enter' on your keyboard.

The Turkish problem, however, persists.

[matasanos]

works with 1.1.6 ??

[Nathaniel]

No, as you can see on the mod download page, this mod is only compatible with SMF 2 Beta:

Compatible With: 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public

Also:

Yes, it could. I'm not sure if I even have the time to do it seeing as school starts in three days, but I'll put it on my list of things to do.

[matasanos]

ok, thanks..

i will try!!
