Add BBCode editor in theme settings

[Boban ツ]

How can I add the BBCode buttons in theme settings??

To be like this: https://i.imgur.com/B9EQY05.png

I am insert the textarea in Themes.template, but I want the BBCode buttons.

Code Select Expand

        elseif ($setting['type'] == 'textarea')
{
echo '
<dt>
<label for="', $setting['id'], '">', $setting['label'], '</label>:';

if (isset($setting['description']))
echo '<br />
<span class="smalltext">', $setting['description'], '</span>';
echo '
</dt>
<dd>
<textarea', array_key_exists('enabled', $setting) ? ($setting['enabled'] ? '' : ' disabled="disabled"') : '', ' rows="4" style="width: 95%;" cols="40" name="', !empty($setting['default']) ? 'default_' : '','options[', $setting['id'], ']" id="', $setting['id'], '">', $setting['value'], '</textarea>
</dd>';
}

There is no way to make this without actually providing support in the core theme code.

You'd have to write a mod first...

What are you ACTUALLY trying to do?

BBC buttons are generated by the list in Subs.php - not in the template code.

He's trying to add an area in the theme settings that has a BBC editor to alllow someone to make some BBC and put it somewhere into the theme.

Oh...  wow.   
no. just no.

I actually don't have a problem with the idea but SMF doesn't support it without overhauling the theme code.

Not to mention that this potentially raises some security issues if you're not super careful.

I am making image/text slider on header, with bbcparse and that's why I need that. But it's ok, I will add some other bbcode editor. Thank you for info!....
