Anyone here have the skills to produce a posting form enhancer like thee one Freeper cynwoody posted here years ago.

Laz - is this in your expertice repertoire?

Dolly, it is indeed, but to be frank I have enough (too many?) irons in the fire already.

I'm working a app development project with a relative, I have an invention (patent pending) I will follow up with next, and I have one of two novels to write.

Add that to a 60 hour professional job in a Fortune 50 company and you can see how maybe I don't barely have time to wipe after I crap. 😊

I should have mentioned I have a picture of a naked lady for whoever does this.

Did you ever say what browser you have???

Makes a big difference.

I have Firefox. I've been using the posting enhancer for years with FF. The problem is the add-on link is dead. But thanks for trying to answer this.

Ping!

I was unaware of this form enhancer. But I have been thinking of doing exactly this! I’ll look into it when I have time, but don’t hold your breath. I’ll try to make it cross-browser compatible. I don’t use Mac, so I would need to collaborate with someone who does. I also want to make it work on my iPhone and iPad.

What does a “form enhancer” do?

I tried a form enhancer once and it gave me man boobs. That was NOT the anatomy part is was looking to enhance, so beware.

OK, here is a link to the original script cynwoody wrote.

WYSIWYG HTML editors https://blog.hubspot.com/website/best-wysiwyg-html-editor

The Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer is a far quicker solution for posting html formatted text, thank God for it.

I have the actual XPI file at hand, but would it be legal to provide a link to it here? cynwoody (David Agnew?) seems to have disappeared since 2017. Best to post a forum question asking if anyone knows where he can be reached.

I found the XPI file if you can figure out how to install it. It's located in the firefox profile folder. Your mozilla/firefox profile is a good thing to back up for occasions like this. It has everything. Addons, themes, favorites, browsing history, open tabs. Restore that and it's nothing ever happened.

Thanks. I spent much of the day, working on some scripts that would provide some functions like cynwoody's XPI. So, for example, I finally have a button to tap, to get:

<blockquote>

. . . instead of typing that.

Alternative - a wysiwyg online html editor - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=free+online+wysiwyg+html+editor

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get

It’s visual and has buttons for Headings, Paragraphs, Hyperlinks, Bold etc but most, if not all, will have an option to view the html code. Visually create what you want and then click View > Source. If there’s a button to view source, it will likely be arrow brackets used in html like this <>

I updated the link at the top of my profile to FR Posting Enhancer which I'm now hosting. It's only for firefox based browsers however.

https://route66custom.com/frpfe@cynwoody.appspot.com.xpi

Come to find out, those xpi files sit in your firefox profile's extensions folder so anyone who has the addon installed, has the xpi file for installing it.

Your FF profile should be backed up on occasion. To see your profile(s), put this in for a url - about:profiles

Your profile folder holds extensions, settings, history, bookmarks, even currently open tabs.

Chrome only allows installing extensions from the Chrome store now. The file extensions are also different. CRX for Chrome vs XPI for Firefox. Not sure what the file contents differences are.

There is also the BBcodeXtra extension An extension which adds to the context menu new commands to insert BBCode/Html/XHtml codes in an easy and fast way...

[daniel1212]

Link did not work for me, but I placed it here for now. https://www.peacebyjesus.net/frpostfenhancer.xpi Do have any contact with Cynwoody, since I am only presuming permission.

Even if you were serious, that is not the type of stuff I would want any software to be used for.

[Pollard]

Odd, a couple of people have installed it with that link. As far as I know, Cynwoody hasn’t been here for years. No readme or terms.
