I'm having a problem with BBcode placements in the posts. For example, let's say I want to make a word in my post bold. So I highlight the word, and click the "B" button. But instead of wrapping the BBcodes around the highlighted word, "[b]" is inserted at the end of the post. It doesn't matter which function I use (font, color, URL, etc.), the BBcode is always inserted at the end of the post, not around the highlighted text. Needless to say it gets very annoying if the word I need to apply it to is somewhere in the middle of the post. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.5, but I have the same problem in Firefox and other versions of Mozilla. It works fine in IE, but I really don't use IE.

I know that phpBB standalone (2.0.11 and above) doesn't have this problem, and I also noticed that in this particular forum, I don't have this problem, either.

Here's where it gets interesting. I have this problem in the DeepBlue theme that came with phpNuke. I also have this problem in the subBlack theme (from this site). But I installed the genElectro theme from phpnuke-fr.com, and miraculously, the problem was solved! I went back to subBlack, and I still have the problem. So the problem seems to be in the theme, not the Nuke or phpBB. I'm guessing the theme that runs on this site doesn't have this problem, either.

I have the following:

phpNuke 7.5
subBlack theme (from this site)
BBtoNuke211 (update for phpBB to 2.0.11, from nukeresources.com, but I had this problem before I updated)
Mozilla/Firefox browser (any version)

Any help/suggestions are welcome!

I ran a diff on the posting_body.tpl from subBlack and helius, and there are differences in the bbcode control. It's quite likely that code has been improved over time, so the newer themes don't exhibit some issues the older ones do. We don't mess with that code at all during the porting. I would try backing up that file, and replacing the bbcode control from a working style.

Thanx, I didn't realize that forum templates are theme-specific, and to be honest, i had no idea that BBcode control is in the template file. So I replaced the bbfontstyle & bbstyle functions from the standalone phpBB code, works great! 8)

While researching the problem, I even came across the smilie fix for Mozilla. Smilies are always inserted at the end of the post, instead of the cursor position. Here's the code that I found at http://nukecops.com/postitle35863-0-0-bbcode.html

function emoticon(text) {
text = ' ' + text + ' ';
if (document.post.message.createTextRange && document.post.message.caretPos) {
var caretPos = document.post.message.caretPos;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? text + ' ' : text;
document.post.message.focus();
} else {
posttextarea = document.post.message;
selected=(posttextarea.value).substring(posttextar ea.selectionStart,posttextarea.selectionEnd);
str=' ' + text + ' ';
posttextarea.focus();
start=posttextarea.selectionStart;
end=posttextarea.textLength;
endtext=posttextarea.value.substring(posttextarea. selectionEnd,end);
starttext=posttextarea.value.substring(0,start);
posttextarea.value=starttext + str + endtext;
posttextarea.selectionStart=start;
posttextarea.selectionEnd=start;
return;
}
}

I know next to nothing about PHP and Javascript, so I really have no clue how this works. But it does work, though I noticed it only works for regular smilies, the additional ones (from the "View more Emoticons" popup) still don't work properly.
