Predifined text

[Shinobi]

When you see the subject line on this forum, you see this: i.gyazo.com/1fa652dbd434044ec559a7cc476c7c9f.png

How can I do this for the subject? and how can I do this for the fast reply or for a post reply?, I want to see informative text like this, so users can understand more about what it's needed to do.

And also, how can I add this for certain sections: i.gyazo.com/89d671f5bafb3df3c045482cc8c1201c.png

Thank you.

That is done using a code in the footer. I am not sure if it has been 'release' for use. One of the admins will post later and hopefully post the code for you to use

[Shinobi]

Ok, I'll wait. Thank you

Hi, Shinobi.

This is what we're using on the Support Board.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if(proboards.data('route').name == "new_thread") {
$('input[name="subject"]').attr("placeholder","Please briefly summarize your issue here. Avoid vague subjects like 'Please help' or 'Problem'.");
}
});
</script>

Thank you Brian, where am I suppose to paste it?, and also, how can I make it appear on the fast reply box or when you press "create thread" on the content box?

By the way, how can I limit it for only certain boards?, sorry for my ignorance haha.

And also, what about this one? i.gyazo.com/89d671f5bafb3df3c045482cc8c1201c.png
< that's the one that says: Please only respond to this thread if you're helping the user who created the thread or you are the thread creator.



If you're not the thread creator and you need help with your own issue (even if it's the same as the issue described in this thread) please create your own thread.

[Brian]

It goes in Structure > Headers & Footers for whichever boards you want it on.

Here's one that does both the subject line and the quick reply.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var placeholderText = "Please briefly summarize your issue here. Avoid vague subjects like 'Please help' or 'Problem'.";

if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread")
$('input[name="subject"]').attr("placeholder",placeholderText);
if(pb.data('route').name == "thread")
$('.quick-reply textarea').attr("placeholder",placeholderText);
});
</script>

This is the code used for the message above the reply area.

<script type="text/javascript">
// Reply page message
$(document).ready(function(){
    if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread" || pb.data('route').name == "new_post" || pb.data('route').name == "quote_posts") {
        $('.subject_line').after('<div class="content-box support-reply-info" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 14px; border-width: 3px;"></div>');
        if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread")
            $('.support-reply-info').append('Have a coding question? Need help with a plugin? Stuck designing your theme? Post in the corresponding board in the <a href="http://support.proboards.com/#category-16">Coding & Development</a> category!');
        else
            $('.support-reply-info').css('border-color','#a00').append('Please only respond to this thread if you\'re helping the user who created the thread or you are the thread creator.<br /><br />If you\'re not the thread creator and you need help with your own issue (even if it\'s the same as the issue described in this thread) please <a href="/thread/new/'+proboards.data('page').board.id+'">create your own thread</a>.');
    }
});
</script>

Ok, now the last two questions and sorry, haha, I sometimes feel like I ask too much, it's just that I'm trying to make a good game haha.

1. Is there anyway I can make the same, but as "real" text?, what I mean is, for example on the subject, when you click on the subject, the text disappears, is there anyway to make it not disappear but actually use it as a default title for the thread?

2. How can I use this for threads instead of boards?

That will be all, once again Brian, thank you, you have been along some others, including Craig, very kind and you have helped me a lot, thanks.

[Brian]

Change the first instance of .attr("placeholder",placeholderText); in the code to .val(placeholderText); if you want it to be the actual value of the subject line.

You'd need a plugin to do anything on a per-thread basis.

[Shinobi]

And if I want to make it appear as new post, I put new_post instead of new_thread, and what if I want it to appear in the content box where you input the text of your post or on the fast reply box?, how do I add those?

Thank you!

[Brian]

I'm not sure why you didn't just ask for all of these in the first place so I wouldn't have to rewrite the code 3 different times.

New posts don't have a subject line, and the change in my last post can be done to the second instance of the code I specified to change the quick reply. There's no easy way to do it to the text area on the posting page as it uses an iframe.

[Shinobi]

Ok, thank you!, I really appreciate it your help!

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll be more specific on other questions, I just got these ideas right now to cover all the possibilities, hahaha, I'm sorry!

Thank you

[Shinobi]

I have a last question, is it possible to use the second code for editing a post? I mean this one:

<script type="text/javascript">
// Reply page message
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread" || pb.data('route').name == "new_post" || pb.data('route').name == "quote_posts") {
$('.subject_line').after('<div class="content-box support-reply-info" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 14px; border-width: 3px;"></div>');
if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread")
$('.support-reply-info').append('Have a coding question? Need help with a plugin? Stuck designing your theme? Post in the corresponding board in the <a href="http://support.proboards.com/#category-16">Coding & Development</a> category!');
else
$('.support-reply-info').css('border-color','#a00').append('Please only respond to this thread if you\'re helping the user who created the thread or you are the thread creator.<br /><br />If you\'re not the thread creator and you need help with your own issue (even if it\'s the same as the issue described in this thread) please <a href="/thread/new/'+proboards.data('page').board.id+'">create your own thread</a>.');
}
});
</script>

That the box content appears when you edit a post on a certain board.

By box content I mean this: i.gyazo.com/89d671f5bafb3df3c045482cc8c1201c.png

Thank you.

[Brian]

Yeah, just change the first if statement to this:

if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread" || pb.data('route').name == "new_post" || pb.data('route').name == "quote_posts" || pb.data('route').name == "edit_post") {

[Shinobi]

I have this on the header of the board I want it to show the box of editing a post.



<script type="text/javascript">
// Reply page message
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread" || pb.data('route').name == "new_post" || pb.data('route').name == "quote_posts" || pb.data('route').name == "edit_post") {
$('.subject_line').after('<div class="content-box support-reply-info" style="padding: 10px; font-size: 14px; border-width: 3px;"></div>');
if(pb.data('route').name == "new_thread")
$('.support-reply-info').append('<div align="center" style="padding: 10px; color:red; font-size: 35px;><center><b><font color="red">¡MUY IMPORTANTE LEER ESTO!</font></b></center></div><br> Crear la ficha, en conjunto a los demás aspectos a crear te tomará un aproximado de 15 minutos.

else
$('.support-reply-info').css('border-color','#a00').append('<b><font color="red">LEER: MUY IMPORTANTE</b></font> Recuerda que tienes máximo tres intentos de encuentro al día y para la captura, máximo se puede responder 5 veces (lanzar máximo 5 Poké Ball independientemente del tipo a el pokémon encontrado.<br><br>Eliminar o editar este tema o cualquiera de las respuestas es penado de forma progresiva, aplicándose sanciones y multas.

}
});
</script>

What am I doing wrong?, because it doesn't work. Thank you very much!

[Brian]

Which message is supposed to show when editing a post? The first one or the second one?
