Select All & Copy Code To Clipboard

SELECT ALL AND COPY CODE TO CLIPBOARD v1.2
By Karl Benson

Link to Mod | Comment On This Mod

Introduction
This mod alters the output of the 'code' tag to include links to select all the code and to copy it to clipboard.

Requires 'Flash' to enabled by the browser (as the copying is done by a flash file called _clipboard.swf)

Tested in browsers
IE 6/7
Firefox 1/2
Opera (Select All does not work, but Copy To Clipboard works.)

Features
o Adds "Select Code" Link to each coded section
o Adds "Copy To Clipboard" Link to each coded section

There are no admin settings with this mod. To disable/remove it, you must uninstall it.

Installation
Installation affects source files and a javascript file which is called from the default theme for ALL themes, therefore NO theme edits will be required.
(unless there is a conflict with modifications OR if your not using a supported language)

There are TWO versions of this mod.
One for SMF 1.1.x versions and
one for SMF 2.0 Beta 1 (which is currently available to Charter Members).

If your using a language different than the ones supported this mod (listed below), then you will need to add the following to the Modifications.{language}.php for each theme (The language folder can be found eg Themes/{themename}/languages/)

FIND

Code Select Expand

?>
ADD BEFORE (and translate as necessary the language strings)

Code Select Expand

$txt['codeselectall'] = 'Select All';
$txt['codecopytoclipboard'] = 'Copy To Clipboard';
$txt['codedivider'] = '|';

Languages
o Currently Supports

- English_British/English_British-utf8

[MinasC]

great work !

[karlbenson]

thanks MinasC

[MinasC]

hey , i just tried to install and got an error : subs.php not found ! i think you have to change install.xml and put "Subs.php" instead of "subs.php" !

[karlbenson]

I was in the process of fixing it when you posted it.

Updated versions of 1.0 are not available via mod section.

[MinasC]

well ,

i installed it fine in one of my forums (i am still testing that one) but i got that text

Code Select Expand

$txt['codeselectall'] = 'Select All'; $txt['codecopytoclipboard'] ='Copy To Clipboard'; $txt['codedivider'] = '|';

at the top of my pages , and the mod doesn't show ! what's wrong ?
thnx !

[karlbenson]

This one is not my mods fault, but a bug in SMF on some server setups.

Open
Modifications.english.php (the location of this file is Themes/default/languages)

Making sure no text strings like those you posted are;
above <?php (which needs to be the first thing in the file)
below ?> (which needs to be the last thing in the file [on a line of its own]

if your using utf8, you will need to do the same for
Modifications.english-utf8.php

[edi67]

you are welcome !

[falguni1]

how to use this mod.

[karlbenson]

It adds two links to the 'code' box.

One to 'select all' the contents of the code box.
Second to Copy it to Clipboard (so you can paste it elsewhere)

[falguni1]

I cant see links.

[karlbenson]

Are you using a language supported by the mod?
Are you getting any errors in your error log?
Can you link me to a url/page on your forum where url tags are installed?

[falguni1]

this is my demo site

http://omsites.com/copy1/index.php?topic=16.0

[karlbenson]

Something has gone wrong with SMF package manager.
Its inserted the language strings in the wrong place in the file.

Its not a bug with this mod (or my buy me a beer mod), but for some unknown reason it happens with smf.

Open
Themes/default/Languages/Modifications.english.php

Make sure <?php is at the VERY TOP at the file on its OWN line
and
?> is at the very bottom of the file on its OWN line.

(so as necessary move any language strings in-between).

Do the same for
Themes/default/Languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php
if your using utf8.

And for any other languages you may be using.

[au8ust]

Hm... Weird I can't use it in Firefox, Select All and Copy To Clipboard are not working at all. It's working in IE for Select All only.

Any idea?

[karlbenson]

The mod has been tested in firefox.

In firefox Goto
Tools > Error console

is it giving you any error?

Is flash enabled in Firefox?

[au8ust]

Okay I'll try that

BTW, below is Thai and Lao translation

Code Select Expand


<file name="$languagedir/Modifications.thai-utf8.php" error="skip">
<operation>
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[
$txt['codeselectall'] = 'เลือกทั้งหมด';
$txt['codecopytoclipboard'] = 'สำเนาไว้ใน Clipboard';
$txt['codedivider'] = '|';
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>

<file name="$languagedir/Modifications.lao-utf8.php" error="skip">
<operation>
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[
$txt['codeselectall'] = 'ເລືອກທັງຫມົດ';
$txt['codecopytoclipboard'] = 'ສຳເນົາໄວ້ໃນ Clipboard';
$txt['codedivider'] = '|';
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>


[au8ust]

The mod has been tested in firefox.

In firefox Goto
Tools > Error console

is it giving you any error?

Is flash enabled in Firefox?

Okay, it causes from Flashblock extension so I disable it and Select All is working fine now

For the Copy to Clipboard shows these errors

Code Select Expand


Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'opacity'.  Declaration dropped.

[karlbenson]

So the Copy to Clipboard bit still isnt working?

The mod doesnt do anything for opacity.
They are probably related to some other javascript on your page.

[ne.miguelito]

Is flash enabled in Firefox?

as I can see if it is active in the Firefox?

[au8ust]

NWM, I will use only the Copy All

Thanks for the MOD!

[karlbenson]

I have reuploaded this mod and screenshots for it.

I am in the process of doing it for ALL my other mods aswell.  Please bear with me.

[Teunel]

Hi, Thanks for this great mod. I have one question though.

I have changed my forum a lot, and when I post a topic, it automatically shows the content in a Code box. I'm not using the code tags, I just placed the code divs in my Display.Template.php. An example can be seen here: http://www.krabbelplaatjes.com/grappig/lol-t1201.0.html
Now, I want to show the Select all and Copy to that code box too, but it isn't really working. What do I have to modify to get this working? I tried looking at the source and adding the Javascript in there manually, but this isn't working.

Here is a Dutch translation:

$txt['codeselectall'] = 'Selecteer Alles';
$txt['codecopytoclipboard'] = 'Kopieer naar Klembord';
$txt['codedivider'] = '|';

[karlbenson]

It wouldn't be easy.
The javascript is built on basis of the default code <div>s

I cannot provide support for customizing it.

[Teunel]

Ok, then I will take a look at it myself when I can find some time! Thanks anyway for the great mod!

[Darknico]

Good mod!!!
Thanks!

It is possible for tag [php][/php] ?

Would the fact I am using 1.1.5 be the issue since you stated that no manual theme edits were needed with this one? I wanted to ask and see what you thought before I tried manually installing it and screwing up something..lol.

[karlbenson]

It must be conflicting with another mod.

Its not a theme edit. Its a conflict. The only solution is to do it manually.

[Kimmie]

ew I was afraid of that...ok one more question and I will leave you alone (for a while anyways..hehe).

In a case like this, which way do you recommend I do it:

1. Install it via package manager and then edit the Subs.php file and make the edits
2. Install the whole thing manually

I am not sure if it really makes a difference but I wanted to ask your professional opinion as to what you think the best way would be. I guess I just need clarification tht if I do it the #1 way, can I be assurred tht it will make the correct edits to the other files? (this is me trying to learn how to do this so I dont have to keep asking hehehe). In most cases I usualy dont have to do manual edits cuz my theme uses mostly the default files - so I havent had a whole lot of practice with manual edits and I want to make sure I do it right.

Thanks for ALL your help. Your mods are some of the best I have used (and I have several lol)

[karlbenson]

Thanks.

Generally I'd recommend installing it entirely manually.
But I've done it the other method too.

So its your choice.
Although I would recommend taking full backups of your files and your database before proceeding with such changes.

[Ni©holąś™]

great mod.Thanks!

[Kimmie]

HI its me again . Im not sure how to explain this so I will start from the beginning..hehe.

I decide to install the mod via the package manager and then modify the Subs file (less for me to mess up  lol). No errors in the error log, however, the mod isnt working. It hasnt made any changes to the "code" part. Since I have other mods that affect that file - some of the code is in the same section that this mod changes, I couldnt replace that entire section with what the parser said to because it would mess up the other mod(s) that also use that section, so what I did was compare what code you added to that area with what is in my original subs file and made the necessary changes. Basically all I saw that was different was these two sections of code:

Code Select Expand

// SELECT ALL AND COPY CODE TO CLIPBOARD MOD
static $codecounter = 0;
$codecounter++;
$data = \'<div class="codeheader">\' . $txt[\'smf238\'] . \': \'
.\'<a href="javascript:void(0)" title="\'.$txt[\'codeselectall\'].\'" onclick="javascript:selectall(\\\'code_a\'.$codecounter.\'\\\');return false;">\'.$txt[\'codeselectall\'].\'</a>\'
.\' \'.$txt[\'codedivider\'].\' <a href="javascript:void(0)" title="\'.$txt[\'codecopytoclipboard\'].\'" onclick="javascript:copy(\\\'code_a\'.$codecounter.\'\\\');return false;">\'.$txt[\'codecopytoclipboard\'].\'</a>\'
.\'</div><div class="code" id="code_a\'.$codecounter.\'">\' . ($context[\'browser\'][\'is_gecko\'] ? \'<pre style="margin-top: 0; display: inline;">\'.$data.\'</pre>\' : $data) . \'</div>\';
// END OF SELECT ALL AND COPY TO CLIPBOARD MOD


AND

// SELECT ALL AND COPY CODE TO CLIPBOARD MOD
static $codecounter = 0;
$codecounter++;
$data[0] = \'<div class="codeheader">\' . $txt[\'smf238\'] . \': (\'.$data[1].\') \'
.\'<a href="javascript:void(0)" title="\'.$txt[\'codeselectall\'].\'" onclick="javascript:selectall(\\\'code_b\'.$codecounter.\'\\\');return false;">\'.$txt[\'codeselectall\'].\'</a>\'
.\' \'.$txt[\'codedivider\'].\' <a href="javascript:void(0)" title="\'.$txt[\'codecopytoclipboard\'].\'" onclick="javascript:copy(\\\'code_b\'.$codecounter.\'\\\');return false;">\'.$txt[\'codecopytoclipboard\'].\'</a>\'
.\'</div><div class="code" id="code_b\'.$codecounter.\'">\' . ($context[\'browser\'][\'is_gecko\'] ? \'<pre style="margin-top: 0; display: inline;">\'.$data[0].\'</pre>\' : $data[0]) . \'</div>\';
// END OF SELECT ALL AND COPY TO CLIPBOARD MOD

I added them directly after both of these codes in that file just like the parser said to:

Code Select Expand


// Fix the PHP code stuff...
$data[0] = str_replace("<pre style=\"display: inline;\">\t</pre>", "\t", implode(\'\', $php_parts));

Could you take a look at my Subs.php file and see if you see anything I missed? It would be greatly appreciated if you could .

The 1st attachment is my Subs file BEFORE installing the mod. The second one is after I made the edit.

[fdLP.]
