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

The old link ^ | 10/13/24 | Vanity

[TangoLimaSierra]

Had to reload my PC and when I went to cywoody's page to reload the posting enhancer the add-on link is dead. He disappeared from FR years ago but the page remained. Now, his page is there but the link to the add-on is dead.

I loved that add-on and used it for years. I am not smart enough to create it so I'm hoping one of our coders here would take on the job. I know a lot of Freepers use it, too.

I just installed waterfox and the xpi files and the button is there.
I had to go into manage extensions and turn permissions on to get these extensions to work.

TreeView shortcut = Ctrl-Alt-T. It’s under the heading “Using the Tree View”
Poster report shortcut = Ctrl-Alt-R.

I wasn’t able to get either keyboard shortcuts to work in mozzilla or chrome.

Poster Report returns the same permissions error as firefox and doesn’t display the report.

thanx...you got the ball rolling...I love a challenge and that's great here, but it's a detriment in my golf game.

[Pollard]

The buttons suddenly showed up but same as you, Poster Report doesn’t work. Not worried about it. Ctrl+Alt+T opens my terminal in Kubuntu LOL

Tree View works with the new button though.

*Polys *means “**many**” not **all**, nor is Mark or Luke mentioned here, and the context is that or Jews (“They said… Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” - John 6:30-31) which Luke was not, and who received gospel knowledge from eyewitness and disciples: Luke 1:1,2, and whose faith and service Paul attested to. (Col 4:14)

Nor is Mark mentioned in any of the gospels. But 3,000 Jews were born again at Pentecost, which is when Mark could have been saved, and obviously he (nor Luke) was not an apostate when he penned the gospel attributed to him, and who served Barnabas (Acts 15:29) Paul though he fell away from service for some time, (Acts 15:38) but later Paul attested of his faith and being useful in service, (Col. 4:10; Phlm. 1:24 2; Timothy 4:11) and Peter also attests to his faith. (1 Pt. 5:13)

In addition, in context (ever hear of that?) 2 Peter 2:21 is not referring to any and all disciples who fell away but to impenitent apostates, .

I am amazed. For a long time, I have been dodging the "How to use javascript" beyond the existing tools made available in such programs as AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin.

I was surprised, when I just took a swing at altering the "manifest.json" file (cynwoody's FRPFE extension), and that worked.

Then, I made some adjustments to the buttons and appearance in the https://freerepublic.com/perl/post webpage (re cynwoody's FRPFE extension), and that worked: I resized the "Your Reply" window, removed some buttons, and changed the URL address for the "Help" button, to:

HTML Editor https://htmltable.com/

Overall, thank you for asking/suggesting re javascript and extensions. The extension helps.

Excellent

[stylin19a]

Hey...thanx for that. Nicely done.
Got me to thinking...I changed help to this: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3378678/posts
It’s dated back to 2016...not sure how much has changed since then.

thanx again.

Thanks for helping us. I only use the Form Enhancer, which saves me time and typos with my stiff arthritic fingers, esp. posting links and images, and enlarging, and quoting a text, etc. since I usually post in html.

But the < p > paragraph break tag should work like quoting a text does, meaning just select the text you want to cite and hit quote. However, if you select the text and hit P then it deletes it. Thus to format multiple sentences I must keep hitting the P. Not hard, but ca bit slower.

However, I use QuickPaste, a small freeware program that allows you to quickly insert (paste) your own predefined text in any Windows applications via keyboard shortcut that you choose, and for me one of which is a series of paragraph break tags. Clippings, a FF extension accessible via R. click, is also similar.

Then there is bbCodeWebEx, which allows you to apply commonly used tags, and create custom tags for bbCode, vBulletin, Html, XHtml, and Markdown, accessible via R. click. You can create your own html scripts.

I like https://htmlfiddle.net/ as a html format page.

BTW, you can also enable multiple tab rows in Vivaldi, as you can on FF, thanks be to God./

My fav. FF theme is ISO:Dark theme

[stylin19a]

Hey thanx for that.

The paragraph tag only tells the computer to end the line, insert a blank one, then start a new line. There really is no closed tag for the paragraph tag. (Not withstanding some examples in the FR sandbox)

Opera in the old days had multi-tab rows - but not since 2008-ish. Opera was eventually sold to some china firm. (I Don't know who owns it now)
Vivaldi was developed by the same people who developed Opera...go figure.

This might interest you.

Arthritis tip:

Cotton painters gloves; at hardware stores and Walmart. Cut off about 1.5 inches from the tip of each glove finger, so your fingertips are exposed . . . and wear those when you sleep. Will keep your hands and wrists warm.

Daniel,

Re the 'P' button:

In cynwoody's original "script.js" file, lines 421 and 422, are originally:

addButton('P', wrap(addOnOwnLine, '<p>'),
                       'Adds a <p> tag at the cursor.', 'enter');

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In a revised version of cynwoody's "script.js" file, I commented out those 2 original lines, and added all of the following, that a) includes two more buttons, and b) includes a new line to function as you wish:

addSpacer();
addButton('P', wrap(addTag, '<p>'), 'Adds a <p> tag as text.', '[')
addSpacer();
addButton('/P', wrap(addTag, '</p>'), 'Adds a </p> tag as text.', ']')
addSpacer();
addButton('P/P', 'p', 'Adds <p> and </p> tags.', 'enter');
addSpacer();

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The new 'P/P' button replaces the original 'P' button, with the beginning and ending HTML <p> and </p> tags - function - that you wanted. In the Reply box, enter some string of characters, select that string, then click on the 'P/P' button.

(The new, 3rd "addButton" line above, is what replaces the functioning of lines 421 and 422 in cynwoody's original "script.js" file.)

The new 'P' button simply places a <p> tag in the Reply box.

The new '/P' button simply places a </p> tag in the Reply box.

The "addSpacer();" lines provide some space between the buttons.

Each of the "addButton" lines uses functions that are established much further up, in cynwoody's original "script.js" file page.

Thanks! Now i forgot, where do i obtain this version?

Opera went to the Chromium base, same as Vivaldi.

Indeed it has, since I provided you that link! Bless God.

[stylin19a]

thanks. Sorry.
duh me...I didn't much pay attention, as I said, I wished I'd have followed the thread more closely, I would have saved some time.
I never clicked on that link cause i already knew Vivaldi stacked tabs.
When Opera adios-ed Presto, I adios-ed Opera.
I was with Opera from the get-go. We had to pay for it back then...even when beta testing.. It could run from a 1.44 floppy.
Those days were kinda exciting. Worked on a project that decoupled Internet Explorer from Win98...at the same time Microsoft said it couldn't be done.

Now i mostly don't care about any of that anymore (After 30 odd years in Data Processing... I just want it to work ).

I'm about to adios firefox and kill Edge.

Thanks again

[linMcHlp]

I mean: my own revised version of cynwoody’s FRPFE extension. You would take his original and revise it - your revision.

[daniel1212]

Those days were kinda exciting.

Yes,but watching system resources in Win 9x. And Firefox up to ver. 52.09 with its unsurpassed extensions,m esp. Tab Mix Plus and Colorful tabs, etc. I now (W/11) run many installations of Firefox Portable (how), updating delayed, each for its own general purpose, and I just installed Gecko-based Floorp to the mix. All 7 running concurrently, thus hundreds of tabs. Far better for me than Chrome and Edge (which is presently last for me).

Bless God who provides.

OK, but can you share it?

[stylin19a]

thanks...7+ Taskbar Tweaker looked interesting except now it’s not compatible with w11 24H2 and later...oh well.

have you seen this ?

powerful...

thanks again

[linMcHlp]

You are funny. I cannot share my revision - that would be like handing over a copy of a prototype, that would require a lot more explanation.

Anybody can edit their own copy of cynwoody’s original “script.js” file, with the lines that I did explain, re the ‘P’ buttons.

From your writing, there is plenty to show that if you dare, to edit your own copy, you will succeed and have the button selection(s).
