[forum] A little feature request.

Post by Xudo »

Button "Full Editor" in frame "Quick reply" now simply moves user to full page editor.
Is it possible to move users to full page editor with preview of users message? (similar to button "Preview" in full page editor)

You mean, you can preview when using quick reply?

I think he's suggesting that, when in "quick reply" mode, clicking the "full editor" mode would produce the same result as clicking the "preview" button would have if you were already in the "full editor" mode. Personally, I think it would make more sense to add a "preview" button to "quick reply" mode that accomplishes the same thing.

At any rate, this suggestion is better suited to the website forum, so I'll move the topic over there.

A preview function for Quick Reply is not an upstream feature, nor it is provided by any of the officially validated/audited mods. I may consider adding this possibility here myself, but I don't consider it a priority.

Coincidentally, Gambit also asked me about this on IRC the other day.

Looks like simply adding one more submit button (with name="preview") to the Quick Reply form would be enough, the previewing itself is already done by the receiving script.

Code: Select all

<input class="btnlite" type="submit" tabindex="8" name="preview" value="Preview" />

Marking as solved since the feature is now implemented.
