Is it possible to change some of the settings in the forum software?

[Contrabardus]

There are a few minor things that are small annoyances with the forum software as it's currently set up that would be nice if we can change them. I don't know what options are available to adjust this stuff, but it would be nice if it could be tweaked a bit just for the sake of convenience.

It would be nice if the taskbar at the top of the post box that shows up in full posts showed up in the quick reply box so we could more easily add images and videos. Not every part of it, just the segment that lets us toggle some of the text options like bold and underline and the options to add video and images. I've seen other forums that are able to do this and it pops up when you click on the box to type something, and I don't know if it's a setting that can be changed with this particular version of forum software or not. It would be nice as I've often found myself halfway through a post before I realize I can't add the image I was planning on adding in because that little bar isn't there on the quick reply box as it is on many other forums.

It's a minor irritant and can easily be worked around by either cutting and pasting to a full reply box, or adding the script manually, but it's still kind of annoying. It'd be nice if I didn't have to bother.

Another even more annoying thing is the default video setting. Why is it Dailymotion? Who ever posts videos from Dailymotion?

It's nice to have those other options, but 99% of the time when someone puts up a video it's a Youtube video. Any way we can get that set up so that Youtube is the default option? I know that people sometimes forget to select it and screw that up frequently and videos fail to post properly because of it. It'd be nice if the default was the most often used option and would just make posting things like video a little more streamlined.

If it's not an option, it's not going to make or break the forum or anything, but if this stuff can be adjusted, it would be nice if that happened.

Might have been better in the suggestion box.

1. Found this it might be the answer your looking for.

1- Locate showthread.php (mybb root) and open it in your favourite text editor (Notepad ++ .... ext)

Look for this pieace of code

Code:

eval("\$quickreply = \"".$templates->get("showthread_quickreply")."\";");

just above it add this code line:

Code:

$codebuttons = build_mycode_inserter();

save the file.

Result:

2- Now we need to edit one template so :
Goto ACP >> Templates >> Your Themes Templates >> Show Thread Templates >> showthread_quickreply
and replace everything with the following

Code:

<br />
 <form method="post" action="newreply.php?tid={$tid}&processed=1" name="quick_reply_form" id="quick_reply_form">
 <input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />
 <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="RE: {$thread['subject']}" />
 <input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_newreply" />
 <input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="{$posthash}" id="posthash" />
 <input type="hidden" name="quoted_ids" value="" id="quoted_ids" />
 <input type="hidden" name="lastpid" id="lastpid" value="{$last_pid}" />
 <input type="hidden" name="from_page" value="{$page}" />
 <input type="hidden" name="tid" value="{$tid}" />
 <input type="hidden" name="method" value="quickreply" />
 <table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" ce

2. It is just listing the source links in alphabetical order that's all.
