This isn't really a mod as no programming was required, but it could be helpful for some users.
This MOD will transform your comment boxes and administration article writing boxes into textareas using a WYSIWYG editor called TinyMCE. TinyMCE uses javascript, and if javascript is not enabled, the textarea will be like normal.
Simply download TinyMCE
here. Unzip it on your hard drive. Navigate through:
tinymce -> jscripts -> and copy folder "tiny_mce" to the root of your website.
Now, in your index.php file, add
into the head<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas"
});
</script>
Now, in your virgin sNews.php, find
echo html_input('button', 'strong', '', 'B', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'strong\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'em', '', 'I', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'em\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'strike', '', 'Strike', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'strike\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'p', '', 'P', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'p\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'br', '', 'BR', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'br\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'break', '', 'Break', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'break\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'img', '', 'Image', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'img\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'link', '', 'Link', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'link\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
echo html_input('button', 'include', '', 'Include', '', 'button', 'onclick="tag(\'include\')"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '');
in the 'articles form' function and delete it (all of it).
Refresh your page(s) and voila!
