Two Minor Functions

by RealGunner Thu May 23, 2013 9:59 pm

We have added in two minor functions

1) Auto text save function. That idea is while the user is typing a message, saving it periodically, so it can be restored when they move away from the page. so they do not lose their message. It will save the message in the text box every 30 seconds. When it does, it will display a small message saying that the message has been saved ( Message will appear on the bottom right of your screen )

2) The second function automatically change links to an image. So when a user posts an image link, it will be posted as an image, not a simply text link. You don't have to add the image tags.

The save function probably just uses a JS timer so every X seconds the message will autosave. The funciton needs to be edited so it only saves the message if textbox.value != "". i.e only saves if the box isn't empty.

The image feature is neat.

nice work guys. very neat additions. There have been a couple of times where I have typed huge paragraphs and have lost them before being able to post them for whatever reason so this could save a lot of work.

yea i used JS.

I think i might set it up to only make it work when you are using the " post reply " button instead of quick reply box. So people can use the " post reply " when they want to make a big post and it can save it.

How do you post an image link without it appearing as an image?

by RealGunner Sat May 25, 2013 2:50 pm

Why would you do that ?

if you want to, then u can put it in the spoiler tag.

Well, you could always consider to post a smaller version of a pic and link that to a bigger version.

Like this, I mean:
