Re: rah_textile_bar
Thanks Gocom!
I’ve been testing things out for the last 20-30 minutes – with the exception of how it inserts links – I love it. ; )

Re: rah_textile_bar
Hi Gocom,
thanks for the plugin, I like it. However I do think the way mck_textilebar works is how this should also work. If I could have the image from this in that plugin i’d go with mck_textilebar.
List of what mck_textilebar does right…
- Inserts space after things like h2. and list items
- Prefills and highlights sample text when button pressed if nothing is already highlighted. Rather then the open tag/close tag
- Uses Textile for links (Clients don’t need rel and title imo)
What I like about rah_textile_bar…
- Images for buttons!
- Output Form button
- Code is in English :)

hi Gocom
I think, this “Inserts space after things like h2. and list items” is very important and should be built in :-)

Re: rah_textile_bar
What is going to happen in next version:
- Inserts space after things like h2. and list items
- page under Extensions where you can set which tabs to show and not
Sorry, but things that aren’t going to be part of this plugin (never ever):
- Prefills and highlights sample text when button pressed if nothing is already highlighted. Rather then the open tag/close tag
- Would it be possible to instead allow the user to “select” the text they want to become a link, and then hit the “link” button and enter the URL etc.
Things that will happen in future versions:
- have you thought about pre-populating that popup with a list of forms so folks can just select from the list rather than remember the name?
Uses Textile for links (Clients don’t need rel and title imo)
But I do and some other folks do also. So it is staying.
Also check the facts: it uses textile for links, but when rel is filled, then it uses html – cause Textile doesn’t support rel.

Re: rah_textile_bar
using the css sprite technique in a future version might be a good idea – it takes a while here until the buttons are displayed…

You can also :D:
- Get a better hosting company with fast connections and server that can decode the images faster.
- Get a better connection to your home/office.
- Use client side cache to store the images.
Actually the “takes long” have probably nothing to do with the connection speed but instead that the server is damn slow and sucks. Why? The images are encoded to the code and bad hosting companies (most of those mass storage hosters with “unlimited bandwidth” and “almost unlimited processor speed” are those) can’t provide services that are fast.
With my host it is instant – the image appearing ‘cause the image size in kb is so small. But when i use my other testing server, old server that is as slow as those mass storage hosters, then it takes freaking a lot of time.
Althought i could put those all icons to one damn big image, but it doesn’t fix the host issue, it could even make it worst.
But after thinking about it:
- Next version will contain a huge image. That atleast removes the response time dingdong issue, but addes more slowness if and when your host is what it is :)

Re: rah_textile_bar
It works on my browser at home but I’m stuck with IE6 at work for now. Great plugin, thanks!

Re: rah_textile_bar
I don’t want to start a riot here, but why the need for the png format?
There are still ton’s of folks who (for one reason or another) are stuck in IE6.

Re: rah_textile_bar
Strangely, I was trying out your rah_write_each_section plugin and with it activated this plugin works on the write tab of a section.

Re: rah_textile_bar
New version 0.3 released. Changes:
- Now uses CSS sprite technique.
- Changed image type from PNG to GIF: now renders fine in really old browsers (IE6 and below).
- Improved the code and loading speed.
