Is there any mod so that if we post image link then it shows images automatically.

It is called WYSIWYG Editor in other forum types.

Oya

no but its built into smf2

Unbelievably old, but it installs okay on 1.1.11:

Image Popup
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Oya

that isnt a wysiwyg editor it doesnt show the image actually in the post editor

it just means when u hit the img button it pops up a box to put teh url in

I'm not aware of a mod for 1.1.11, however as was previously stated it is a default feature of 2.0.

Oya

Marking this as solved.  You might want to post a topic in the Mod Requests board but I don't imagine anyone would undertake this.

Incorrect usage of the term "WYSIWYG". Immediate display of images might be part of some WYSIWYG editors, but real WYSIWYG editing is being able to select a mode (e.g., italics) and having what you type in immediately display in italics as you type, without your ever seeing any "tags" that switch you in and out of various modes.

WYSIWYG is a lot harder than it looks to implement; switching back and forth reversibly between "display" and "code" (show tags) mode is difficult; and in all, it's generally not worth the hassle when you can "Preview" your entry with a single button click.
