__For those 1.x users who can't get the Shadow tag to work__

[gbsothere]

Most of my posters use Firefox.  The Shadow tag has never worked for us.  I've read that it only works for IE but my posters kept nagging me about it.... *sigh*......  that's what they do.

So, out of desperation, I found the code in Subs.php

Code Select Expand

array(
'tag' => 'shadow',
'type' => 'unparsed_commas',
'test' => '[#0-9a-zA-Z\-]{3,12},(left|right|top|bottom|[0123]\d{0,2})\]',
'before' => $context['browser']['is_ie'] ? '<span style="filter: Shadow(color=$1, direction=$2); height: 1.2em;\">' : '<span style="text-shadow: $1 $2">',
'after' => '</span>',
'validate' => $context['browser']['is_ie'] ? create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
if ($data[1] == \'left\')
$data[1] = 270;
elseif ($data[1] == \'right\')
$data[1] = 90;
elseif ($data[1] == \'top\')
$data[1] = 0;
elseif ($data[1] == \'bottom\')
$data[1] = 180;
else
$data[1] = (int) $data[1];') : create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
if ($data[1] == \'top\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 50))
return \'0 -2px\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'right\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 100))
return \'2px 0\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'bottom\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 190))
return \'0 2px\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'left\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 280))
return \'-2px 0\';
else
return \'0 0\';'),
),


and replaced it with this:

Code Select Expand

array(
'tag' => 'shadow',
'type' => 'unparsed_commas',
'test' => '[#0-9a-zA-Z\-]{3,12},(left|right|top|bottom|[0123]\d{0,2})\]',
'before' => $context['browser']['is_ie'] ? '<span style="display: inline-block; filter: Shadow(color=$1, direction=$2); height: 1.2em;">' : '<span style="text-shadow: $1 $2">',
'after' => '</span>',
'validate' => $context['browser']['is_ie'] ? create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
if ($data[1] == \'left\')
$data[1] = 270;
elseif ($data[1] == \'right\')
$data[1] = 90;
elseif ($data[1] == \'top\')
$data[1] = 0;
elseif ($data[1] == \'bottom\')
$data[1] = 180;
else
$data[1] = (int) $data[1];') : create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
if ($data[1] == \'top\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 50))
$data[1] =  \'0 -2px 1px\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'right\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 100))
$data[1] = \'2px 0 1px\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'bottom\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 190))
$data[1] = \'0 2px 1px\';
elseif ($data[1] == \'left\' || (is_numeric($data[1]) && $data[1] < 280))
$data[1] = \'-2px 0 1px\';
else
$data[1] = \'1px 1px 1px\';'),
),




and now it works (for us) in Firefox, Safari and Opera.   I'm no coder, trust me.  All this is, is the code from 2.x's Subs.php and, if it's a bad idea, someone whack my hands with a ruler and I'll go quietly. 



It's just that, while searching, I ran across several threads where others wanted it to work and I did, too ....  and, well, it does, now, with no errors.


It may not for you.   You may want to try it on a test board, first. 

If you have questions, I'm pretty much done.  All I can do, at this point, is tell you how great you look and smile alot.

Brilliant, thank you.

Never used it, so I didn't know it didn't work.  LOL

Thanks for letting us know how to fix it.

I have a couple of posters in particular who find it necessary to follow me around telling me what doesn't work, which is how I found out.  I didn't even know what a Shadow tag was.
