[JavaScript][OmnomIRC] Seeking Programming Help

[Sorunome]

Yes, you heard it correctly, I am seeking programming help for OmnomIRC!
The component in question is a WYSIWYG editor for chat messages.....ok, that might be overkill but IMO it would be cool.
I already got bare-bones with bold, italic and underline running, using a <span> with contenteditable="true", but it still has some bugs, and like, you can't remove text decorations anymore and it doesn't even support colors yet etc.
So, I would be happy if someone could help me on that! ^.^

IMHO this feature should be made so it can easily be restricted on per member basis (eg some sort of ban that still lets the user post) or at least for members under 200 posts, because I am fairly sure it will get abused by certain younger users.


I'm not even sure if colors, other than the post notifier and RunerBot, are allowed in #omnimaga anyway.


Also please do not implement auto-formating unless it can be disabled. I hate when I type something in M$ Word and it automatically replaces it to another word or add formating to the world.


On a side note it seems to work, although we cannot disable bold/italic/underline other than by refreshing the page.

That can be made, even though they'd still be able to input unicode manually.

As long as you don't do rainbows and it is only like occasionally and not really often and stuff i don't see a reason why not.

Good idea

That is also a reason why i made this thread - i don't know how to and seek help

Indeed, but at least let's  not make it  too easy for  spammy users  to   spam!1!11   I mean otherwise it  would  be like if when posting on the forums there was literally a buttonto turn your text like this

*cough*dream-dragon/n00bnonin*cough*, and yes there are two posts on the forums that actually look almost as bad or worse as the above.


On a more serious note, though, if you need programming help this is not the right forum to ask. You would need to ask in the web dev section.

Good idea to add such a button.
Also, good idea, imma move it there

*bump*
Any help, anybody? You wouldn't have to dig through my 8k lines of code, no worries, due to my attempting oop it is just a single object that is doing the wysiwyg edtior....

I'm game for helping, new to the community but far from new to dev.

Currently the most annoying issue is that pasting doesn't really work as the input is a contenteditable span now, and pasting formatted text breaks it all.
The stuff responsible for the wysiwyg part is https://github.com/Sorunome/OmnomIRC2/blob/master/omnomirc_www/omnomirc.js#L2025 line 2025 - 2074 , https://github.com/Sorunome/OmnomIRC2/blob/master/omnomirc_www/index.php#L217 line 217 - 255 and https://github.com/Sorunome/OmnomIRC2/blob/master/omnomirc_www/style.css#L508 508 - 525.

Of course theory on how to make it only paste unformatted text is also welcome

[khalaan]

Can you tell me if there is something off with my config.php? while granted I'm not running the bot itself I don't seem to be getting any trigger for the formatting of text without manually changing the display style in index.php...

[Sorunome]

It doesn't have a checkLogin file which is essential for a user being authorized.
But I mean, you can use the wysiwyg editor without any of the rest of omnomirc working in a more minimalistic environment, and if it comes down to it all you actually need is a contentedtiable span and somehow make that pasting is unformatted text...

EDIT: Also, next time snip out things like passwords and generated keys

[khalaan]

It's on a throwaway vm as you'll notice the login and password are both omnom, I sanitize all applications I touch from the rest of my environment
