Good Job ;) very essential thing

Nice mod. Thank you!

I believe there is a small typo. On row 72 in modification-2.0.xml (the 1.0 has it too) there is "<spam class="smalltext">"

For those who use WYSIWYG Quick Reply mod the changes of Display.template.php seems are not needed (?), so you can delete them before installing the mod. It works well for me without them.

True, in the fields WYSIWIG the MOD does nothing. You can delete or not the code, it is all one.

Sorry, I visited your forum but I do not see quick reply button.

How about this link?
http://www.creativeburrow.org/poetry/maybe-this-time/

You should see the quick reply on bottom :).

Sorry but... I do not see. (See attach image) ???

(I am a guest on your forum)

I'll send you a login, sorry!

I am login on your forum, I see quick reply button and count of characters works.  ???

See attach image.

It's not working on Chrome :/.

This may be a javascript problem with Chrome, I do not know. I use Firefox.

Are you able to look into it? I don't really know your mod so I'm not sure where to begin....maybe test your site on Chrome or something?

I installed Chrome and works (my local test site and your forum). I do not know because it does not work with you.

Have you test on other browsers?
Works on other areas? i.e create a PM or post.
Have you text with your browser but login with other account?

Everything seems to upload fine but I have been getting this error in the error log when I add a picture to my gallery.



http://www.bayoustatefishing.com/community/index.php?action=gallery;sa=add
8: Undefined index: max_sig_characters
File: /community/Themes/default/GenericControls.template.php
Line: 34

Line 34 in that file appears to have been modified by this mod.
<div class="smalltext">', sprintf($txt['max_sig_characters'], $modSettings['max_messageLength']), ' <span id="editorLeft">', $modSettings['max_messageLength'], '</span></div>';

I've tried setting that to "0" to see if it changed anything but it didn't.

Any suggestions?

I have not this error in logs of my test forum and my online forum.

What MOD do you use for gallery?
Can you see message Max characters: NNN; characters remaining: MMM bellow of textbox?

I'm useing SMF Gallery Lite. I never noticed that it doesn't show below the text box. I've attached screen shot.

My MOD (Characters remaining of post) does not work on SMF Gallery Lite.

"Characters remaining of post" adds
- a message below text box and
- code for count characters in all pages where this text box is used.

"SMF Gallery Lite" use this text box but, of course, no add code for count characters. And "SMF Gallery Lite" use this text box in many pages (that is, to count character would have to change many things in "SMF Gallery Lite").

It is easiest remove the message when the text box is used by "SMF Gallery Lite".
You can replace (on Themes/default/GenericControls.template.php, line 32)
if (!$editor_context['rich_active'] && !empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']))
by
if (!$editor_context['rich_active'] && !empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) && isset($txt['max_sig_characters']))
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.simplemachinesweb.com%2Fsmf%2Fdefault%2Fimages%2Fpost%2Fexclamation.gif&hash=2651b40b2610b87a5a1164310dd725b5202e843f) But, if you want uninstall "Characters remaining of post" you must restore this line.

That took care of it.

Thanks. :)

I'm getting that error too, but on this block of code:
<!-- BEGIN MOD CharsRemainingOfPost -->
' . (!empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) ? ('<span class="smalltext">' . sprintf($txt['max_sig_characters'], $modSettings['max_messageLength']) . ' <span id="editorLeft2">...</span></span><br />') : '') . '
<!-- END MOD CharsRemainingOfPost -->

This code is in Display.template.php. Perhaps another mod uses this template?

You try this and tell me if it solves. Replace

' . (!empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) ? ('<span class="smalltext">' . sprintf($txt['max_sig_characters'], $modSettings['max_messageLength']) . ' <span id="editorLeft2">...</span></span><br />') : '') . '

There's a syntax error...I can't find it myself :(.

I test this in my test forum (2.0.17, default theme) and online forum (2.0.17, own theme) and works (create, modify and quick edit post).

Do you have something in error log?
Can you see message Max characters: NNN; characters remaining: MMM bellow of textbox?

nothing in error logs and no nothing is displayed at all, except on the quick modify
checked all 4 themes i have installed, same issue (curve, greeny, mutant curve, nightbreeze)

Perhaps you have other mod who modify code and my mod does not work.

thank you, here's the files

I am sorry, I do not see any error in your files, but you have (at least) one mod who add code to textarea of post editor: Tabbed smileys

I installed Tabbed smileys (0.3.7 and 0.3.99d) in my test forum but this not work (I did not see tabs in smileys), and my mod works.

Perhaps another mod?

My mod adds the counter of characters in two files:
- Display.template.php - for quick modify and quick reply (both with not smileys). I am sure both cases work in your forum, correct?
- GenericControls.template.php - for editor with smileys (used in create/modify post and pm). Any of these do not work, correct? Attach here an image of one of these.
(in the other files, on Source, my mod only adds access to language files)

The problem can be another mod who add code in editor with smileys. If you can, try to uninstall some mods (mods related with this).

Warning: I tried adapt my mod to SMF 2.1 but it do not work. Perhaps any of your mod adds code related with SMF 2.1...

here's the pictures
for some reason now today it seems it's not even working on the quick modify as it had been

yeah I had to edit tabbed smilies to get it to work, don't remember what all I did though, sorry

I think works in your forum but:
- This mod does not work in WYSIWYG mode.
- In quick edit, at beginning counter show "..." instead of a number. When you modify text, number is shown.
