Name: Adding Select All for [code] BBcode
Availability: InStock
Author: axtona

XF Compatibility

2.2.x

Short Description: A simple script to automatically select all text within a code bbcode in forums. Enhances user experience without additional UI elements. Compatible with various forum templates.

A simple but effective way to select all the content within a code bbcode in your forum.

Please note: this doesn't add a "select all" button like you're probably used to see, but it adds a simple functionality to your mouse (or your thumbs) so that each time you click (or tap) inside a code box, it'll automatically select all the text into it.

How to:
Download the attached file, and replace it with your existing bb_code_tag_code file in your template(s).
Alternatively, follow these steps to manually modify it:

Find

HTML:

<code>{$content}</code>

Replace it with:

HTML:

<code onclick="getData(this)">{$content}</code>

And add the following javascript code at the very end of that file (so that you load it only when you effectively have a code bbcode in your page, to save bandwidth):

JavaScript:

<script>
function getData(element)
{
if (document.body.createTextRange) {
var range = document.body.createTextRange();
range.moveToElementText(element);
range.select();
} else if (window.getSelection) {
var selection = window.getSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(element);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
}
}
</script>
