[Plug-in] Word Count

[Skindstad]

This is a code transformed into a plug-in, so it works on v5. It can originally be found on www.javascriptsource.com, but with the new proboards, the original code won't work and I know a lot are using it. So here is a plug-in version of it.

Basically when you've written a post, then you can use it to count how many words you've used. Perfect for the forums where a certain word count is required.



Word Count.pbp (845 B)

Add following in either a side table or headers/footers.


<form>
<textarea cols=20 rows=5 name=x>
</textarea>
<br>
<input type=button value="Count Words" OnClick ="CountWords(this.form.x, true, true);">
</form>

<p><center>
<font face="arial, helvetica" size"-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br>
by <a href="http://javascriptsource.com">The JavaScript Source</a></font>
</center><p>
You can adjust the width and height by editing the cols and rows.

You can check it out in function here

Hi!

I'm unclear of what this plugin does/is for?



On the link for function example, I still couldn't tell what I was looking at, but how would I make that scrolling sidebar box you have on the left side? Thank you & sorry if that is off-topic.

[Skindstad]

The scrolling in the sidebar has nothing to do with the plugin. Can't give the code for the scroller right now since I don't have access to it right now but I will post it later.

Thank you. Could you explain what the plugin does?

[Skindstad]

You can add your text in the word count box and then click on the button below and it will count the words you've used. Hint the word count. I will be add a new link and a picture to the first post in a sec.

Edit:

Here's the code for the marquee I'm using in the sidebox.

<span align="center">
   <marquee scrollamount="1.5" onmouseover="this.stop();" onmouseout="this.start();" height="150" width="170" direction="up">
       Your text goes here
   </marquee></span>

I see it perfectly at the bottom of the forum and works as well.

After I posted this, I saw it. I just forgot to post in this thread about it. I'm sorry.

Is there a way to add this as a pop up linked to a button on the edit post menu? I added it but the players cant seem to find it all the way at the bottom and when I add it the headers it pushes everything out of its way.
