UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Bug Reports Fixed Bugs [FIXED for 7.1b4] Lists and the Opera Browser

I'm not sure if this is a bug with the javascript code for lists, or the Opera browser itself?

If you attempt to insert a list using the lists button, the text area gets cleared of all text before the markup is inserted.

Tested with: Opera 9.10 and ubbt 7.0.2

You're correct.. I just confirmed it with Opera 9.10

Now let's test FireFox 2.0

• This is a FireFox List Test
  
• ITEM1
  
• ITEM2
• Seems to work well in FireFox

No problem for FireFox

.

Now here is an IE7 test for list.

Hmmm seems that IE7 can not do it properly either, but due to a different reason.

Initially the script action is stopped and you have to say okay to allow it. However now the List button thinks you're ready for the [*] instead of the [ LIST ]

Then if you go ahead and finish with a blank it creates the correct [ / LIST ] action, but then if you now click again to start an all new list it ignores the [ LIST ] and only creates the [ * ]

So, I would have to say that the code needs some work for those that use the buttons all the time.

Now let me test and see if FireFox can do repetitive lists with the button.

.

FireFox 2.0 test.... multiple lists by button.

• ITEM1
  
• ITEM2
  
• ITEM3

[*]ITEM4

Nope, it seems that FireFox can not do repetitve Lists either.

So, bottom line is that using the button method and not hand coding it. It is buggy and needs some work.

.

@Rick

FYI - Opera really needs a fix as it deletes all current data from the post box.

FireFox and IE are usable, but need work as well.

Ok, I had to rewrite the list portion of the javascript completely, but this now works properly in IE, Mozilla and Opera. Will be fixed up for 7.1

So thats why you've been so quiet

Working on javascript isn't my favorite past time

Is it anyones?

Used to be for some guy that liked Melissa

huh? lol

• item1
• item2
• item3

[*]item4

Rick.... As I see it this is still a bug using the button only method. You can not create a SECOND List in the same post. After inputting a blank that closes the LIST command it should then be reset so that the next time it's clicked it creates the START of a LIST command.

This is with FireFox 2.0 have not tried with other browsers but would expect the same behavior.

So this bug is not squashed yet in UBBT 7.1B4

.

WAIT I take it back.... let me post this as a bug AFTER you finish up your Gold2 Style - Don't want you spending too much time on this before I get a hold of that style

Second list:

You might need to shift-reload or close your browser and come back to make sure you get the updated javascript library

List1

• item1
• item2

[*]item4

Well I logged out, closed FireFox - relaunched FireFox and logged back on and it still does not work for me.

some test
[*]2
ops... missing a start command
[*]3

give me an end command with a blank though you just can't see it posted on the board but it's here in the post if you edit or quote it.

.

That's bizarre, I'm using Firefox 2.0 as well. Had to shift-reload on the posting page to get the updated javascript file because it was doing the same thing the first time I tried. From the behavior it sure seems like the old js file is still being loaded.

Okay trying again.

Logged out, cleared all cache and cookies. Ran crap-cleaner to remove all kinds of junk.

Reloaded FF, logged back in, CTRL-SHIFT-R, View, Reload so if it doesn't have a new one by now then it's not going to get one.

LIST1:

• item1
  
• item2

Okay, now going for list 2

LIST2:

• item4
  
• item5

Okay Rick, looks like it works - just needed some intense reload for me. I see you also handled the cursor not flying back to the top of the post. Not sure you can control it or not but would be nice to keep the scrollbar down as well, currently the cursor stays where it should, but the Post Window scrollbar stays at the top when you click a button.

Thanks.

J/K

spammer LOL

Okay, will try it from Opera when I get home.

.

Okay OPERA TIME

LIST1

• ITEM1
• ITEM2

So far pretty good. 1 issue though. The cursor does not go to the end of the line like it does with IE/FF (not crucial but annoying to die hard Oerpa users I'm sure)

LIST2

• ITEM3
• ITEM4
• ITEM5

Otherwise a BIG improvement over the way it was a couple days ago.

I'd look into why it doesn't go to the end of the line all the time for Opera but otherwise works much better now.

.

Okay IE7 test

LIST1

[list]
[*]null (ops.. - security kicked in again)


Let me try again in new post and add this site to trusted sites.

Okay IE7 again, ubbcentral is in trusted sites now

LIST1

• ITEM1
• ITEM2
• ITEM3

First one went correctly.

LIST2

• ITEM4
• ITEM5

Works good in IE7 and FF2 - very close to good in Opera but still needs a little work.

.

you know, on my one site I use a custom bbcode that lets me do:
[*:diamond]
[*:circle]
[*:box]

It's really kinda cool cas you can set the object the list has with it

cheatin basta

lol, I needed some sort of bbcode as to not use html in my databases, I really dont like allowing it, so i needed an option, and bbcode was that option ... I've got quite the bit of it in there too lol
