Is it possible to add a "insert user link" button to SB?

[Willow]

Hi and Happy Friday!!!

I have a quick question.

Is it possible to add a "insert user link" button to the shoutbox button list?

Thanks!

Willow, you should be able to accomplish this with a script. I would recommend posting in the Coding Help board (or I can move this thread if you wish.)

dont know why it couldnt be a plugin idea...

Well, Chris did make a plugin to add those on the Quick Reply - maybe he can tell how to add those to the shoutbox. Also, I believe his plugins are editable, so you could look at the source code as well (as in, looking at the source code on his Quick Reply BBCode Buttons plugin).

The control freak version of that plugin (aka nightly build) has the capability to add buttons to any input so it kind of can already add that button to the shoutbox. One drawback here however is it was meant to add buttons to inputs that had no buttons to begin with such as signature, personal text, etc so won't actually add to the existing buttons of that shoutbox but instead start a new row of buttons.

Sorry for getting back so late on this!

Anyway, I just assumed that since there were already formatting buttons on the ShoutBox that it would be as easy as just adding something simple.'

The plugin above looks like the best option but as Chris points out adding the a new row looks a bit messy.

Thanks everyone who helped!

That little wrinkle can be rectified by employing a CSS rule to hide the original shoutbox buttons and using the control freak plugin to exclusively provide the buttons.

.shoutbox_form.content-box ul.tools {
   display: none;
}

The sequence of the buttons can be dictated by using the sequence field until this feature request can be fulfilled
