Jukka – I’m trying to create a standard way for plugin authors to distribute plugins, so users can access plugins from one tab in the backend. If you’re up for it, I’d like to talk about your implementation and work on a standard solution.

That would be nice. You can contact me if you want :)

I prefer IRC (you can find me with nick Gocom on few servers including freenode, QuakeNet and IRCnet) ‘cause it is better for chatting than email. But if you like email, then it’s fine too.

Jukka,

Nice work. This looks great.

Currently when you want to add a link it prompts you to enter the text as one of the steps.
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.? Hope that made sense.

)

one more thing

Is there a way to remove options?

There are situations where I don’t want to the user to have access to certain things like h5 or h6.
Can the available choices be customized.

Next version could include a admin tab to select the things what to show. Untill that, possibly the easiest way is to add display: none; statements to the CSS that the plugin code contains.

In example, after #textilebar .strong { you could add display: none; to sertain menu items you want to hide. In example:

#textilebar .h5,#textilebar .h6 {
	display:none;
}

In next version there will be tab page under Extensions, where you can set those rules (but on javascript side, so disabling CSS won’t relieve those items).

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. ; )

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 :-)

Gocom · 2008-09-08 11:16:22

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.

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

Gocom · 2008-09-08 16:08:37

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 :)
