Merged Change order of Cancel and Submit buttons

The things you wrote about the Cancel / Submit buttons actually made good sense to me. I guess hadn't taken much notice of the button placement because (perhaps unlike a lot of people, it seems) I read labels on buttons before I press them. But, I suppose a lot of people blindly press buttons out of habit. Good suggestion - let's see what the developers do with this suggestion.

The smileys issue - ugh! - your demonstration clearly shows that Kunena 1.6 has a problem here. I can't see this being fixed soon and it will probably have to wait until K 1.7. I like your suggestion about a "More smileys" option to offer an extended range of emoticons (maybe a webdialog or pop-up) to keep the overall editing tools area down to a "manageable"/convenient size.

I also agree with your comments about the attachment insert feature. The mechanism you now see in K 1.6 was a compromise in order to achieve the multiple-attachment-upload-at-one-time functionality that users have been clamouring for ever since K 1.0.7b. More work is envisaged (to make things easier and better for inserting images/file attachments) for K 1.7.

Thank you. All of these are very good ideas and suggestions.

I do not understand, why Cancel button is on the first place. Therefore I suggest it to correct.

To change an order of buttons, in a file ...editor\form.php replase

Code:

			<td id="kpost-buttons" colspan="2">
				<input type="button" name="cancel" class="kbutton"
				value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CANCEL') . ' ');?>"
				onclick="javascript:window.history.back();"
				title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_CANCEL'));?>" />
				<input type="submit" name="ksubmit" class="kbutton"
				value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') . ' ');?>"
				title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_SUBMIT'));?>" />
			</td>

with

Code:

			<td id="kpost-buttons" colspan="2">
            	<input type="submit" name="ksubmit" class="kbutton"
				value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') . ' ');?>"
				title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_SUBMIT'));?>" />
				<input type="button" name="cancel" class="kbutton"
				value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CANCEL') . ' ');?>"
				onclick="javascript:window.history.back();"
				title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_CANCEL'));?>" />
			</td>

In Advanced Search

in a file ...search\advsearch.php replase

Code:

				<td colspan="2">
					<input class="kbutton ks" type="reset" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_CANCEL'); ?>" onclick="window.location='<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetKunenaURL();?>';"/>
					<input class="kbutton ks" type="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_SEND'); ?>"/>
				</td>

with

Code:

				<td colspan="2">
					<input class="kbutton ks" type="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_SEND'); ?>"/>
					<input class="kbutton ks" type="reset" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_CANCEL'); ?>" onclick="window.location='<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetKunenaURL();?>';"/>
				</td>

Updated:

in a file ...view\message.contents.php replase

Code:

		<input type="reset" class="kbutton kreply-cancel" name="cancel" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_CANCEL') ?>" />
		<input type="submit" class="kbutton kreply-submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') ?>" />

with

Code:

		<input type="submit" class="kbutton kreply-submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') ?>" />
		<input type="reset" class="kbutton kreply-cancel" name="cancel" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_CANCEL') ?>" />

Yes, in normal case Submit should before Cancel... You have my vote...

I agree! Especially because they are the other way around what they used to be in previous versions and other forums. If they stey as present, meny users in multiple forums will make mistakes with buttons after update Kunena 1.6 and they will be very irritated.

Something has just crossed my mind.. can't the same code which is used for showing spoilers inside messages to be implemented in the emoticons area? That way in the boardcode area the users will see something like "click for smilies" and upon clicking the div will expand just like the spoilers do in a message...

just a loud thinking..

OMG! It's so easy...

turn this:

into this:

The emoticons box will expand/collapse on mouse click

Just open ..components/com_kunena/template/default/editor/bbcode.php

At line 240

Code:

<div id="smilie"><?php
			$emoticons = smile::getEmoticons(0, 1);
			foreach ( $emoticons as $emo_code=>$emo_url ) {
				echo '<img class="btnImage" src="' . $emo_url . '" border="0" alt="' . $emo_code . ' " title="' . $emo_code . ' " onclick="kbbcode.insert(\''. $emo_code .' \', \'after\', true);" style="cursor:pointer"/> ';
			}
			?>
			</div>

replace with

Code:

<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!-- Chief...
function toggle(d)
{
	var o=document.getElementById(d);
	o.style.display=(o.style.display=='none')?'block':'none';
}
-->
</script>

			<a href="javascript:;" onClick="toggle('smilie');">Show/hide smilies</a>&nbsp<img src="../components/com_kunena/template/default/images/emoticons/smile3.png" style="vertical-align: bottom;" />
			<a href="javascript:;" onClick="toggle('two');">&nbsp</a>
			
			<div id="smilie" style="display:none;"><?php
			$emoticons = smile::getEmoticons(0, 1);
			foreach ( $emoticons as $emo_code=>$emo_url ) {
				echo '<img class="btnImage" src="' . $emo_url . '" border="0" alt="' . $emo_code . ' " title="' . $emo_code . ' " onclick="kbbcode.insert(\''. $emo_code .' \', \'after\', true);" style="cursor:pointer"/> ';
			}
			?>
			</div>
			
			<div id="two" style="display:none;"></div>

Sorry for writing this here, please split/move wherever is necessary.

Thank you, Baze, for that wonderful digression. :lol:

Back on topic: there still hasn't been any movement on rearranging the order of Cancel and Submit. The order of those buttons is, I agree, non-intuitive.

I guess we will all have to change them manually

about the smileys, will this solution be implemented in the stable release or i should post it as hack?

There has been no response from the developers about the order of Cancel and Submit buttons. I agree that this is non-intuitive.

As far as the other matter is concerned, I would advise you to wait until we have a "Hacks, Tips and Tricks" category setup for K 1.6.
