[Request] Posting/PM Word Count

[wildmaven]

Just looooooooooooooooooooooove this plugin! It needs to be added to the plugin list ASAP as I know other admins are REALLY REALLY needing this.

Thanks wildmaven and we'll get there eventually. I'm inclined to promote this to beta stage at this time since I can't think of any other feature that should be added and nobody has suggested one. I did consider adding final count to the actual post once posted (many posting templates allot space for this) but there seems to not be much demand for this as far as I can tell.

Here are a couple of small bug fixes I will be addressing in the next update

• if smileys are enabled (showing as images on visual tab) there will be a count discrepancy between visual tab and BBCode tab in character mode (also word mode if smiley text representation contains an alphanumeric). This is because they're ignored as images on visual tab but are simple text on BBcode tab. The proposed change is to identify smileys in visual mode and count their text property
  txt = $('<div></div>').html($(editor.editable).html())
.find('img[text]')
.each(function(){
$(this).replaceWith('<span class="smiles">'+this.getAttribute('text')+'</span>');
}).end()
.contents().remove(ignores.html).parent();

  
  
• depending on whether Proboards decides to serve up data as string or number (it has changed again) the jQuery.inArray method can fail due to the strict typing employed in that method. Rather than checking twice for first string then number I'll switch over to a custom function which looks to be created by a Proboards developer named inArrayLoose. From a user perspective this means a limit exemption that was working before suddenly stops working because the data representing plugin settings went from [1,2,3] to ["1","2","3"] or vice versa
  $.inArray(value, autoformArray[a][field]) == -1
  .

Any plans on having this work on the Quick Reply as well, Chris ?

Updated to version 0.0.4 (beta) which should now support quick reply along with 2 minor bug fixes regarding counting smileys and limit threshold enforcement
