WordPress Plugin:Comment Quicktags Reloaded

For those who used the Comment Quicktags Plugin, you may noticed that it`s now breaking your theme and maybe giving a fatal error and disactivate by itself. I tired to find out what the problem is, and found that it`s the new structure of the quicktags.js file causing the problem. I`m not really a JS expert(yet!), so my expressions(syntax) may not be professional/correct.

Anyway, the problem lies on the new way some values are called by the quicktags.js file. For example:

document.write('<input type="button" id="ed_spell" class="ed_button" onclick="edSpell(edCanvas);" title="Dictionary lookup" value="lookup" />');
document.write('<input type="button" id="ed_close" class="ed_button" onclick="edCloseAllTags();" title="Close all open tags" value="Close Tags" />');

Now:

document.write('<input type="button" id="ed_spell" class="ed_button" onclick="edSpell(edCanvas);" title="' + quicktagsL10n.dictionaryLookup + '" value="' + quicktagsL10n.lookup + '" />');
document.write('<input type="button" id="ed_close" class="ed_button" onclick="edCloseAllTags();" title="' + quicktagsL10n.closeAllOpenTags + '" value="' + quicktagsL10n.closeTags + '" />');

The quicktagsL10n array is now holding the old values(Internationalization purpose), but somehow the plugin fails to understand it so one DIV is kept open all the time which cause the break in the theme!

So what I did is just telling the edToolbar() function(that contain the DIV) what does this object(quicktagsL10n) represent!
Note: I was going to ask Owen Winkler the writer of this great plugin to update his plugin but I couldn’t find a way to contact him and I believe he’s now busy with the new open source project.

    Works like a charm. I looked for Screenshots on your site and didn’t notice it — could have just looked down at your Comments to see the quicktags, duh!

    It works in WP 2.2, and 2.0.x for me.

    I hacked the strike code out because I didn’t think it would be useful to my readers and seemed like clutter to me.

    Great Plugin – i translated it into German. Well – is there a possiblity besides a quicktags.js hack to hide “lookup” and “close tags”?

    Thanks for fixing this. The plugin link should point back to your site since the original author doesn’t seem to support it anymore.

    Hi, thanks for doin this, about your question I don’t really know(now).
    Just give me a month so I finish my exams and my project then I`ll be back to blogging again and then we`ll see ;)

    Thanks for fixing this. The plugin link should point back to your site since the original author doesn’t seem to support it anymore.

    You`re welcome. Actually as I said I tried to contact the original author but I couldn’t find a way to reach him.
    I may consider this when I back to the net :)
    Thanks for passing by!

    lol sorry milko, but it`s the case when you have to make a whole company management system application with a program that you don’t even know a little about in a month!
    2 days ago I broke my old record and sit for 14 consecutive hours behind my monitor!

    Thanks for understanding!

    no problem dude – I can understand your situation very well – I will write my exams in one week, too. ;)

    Good plugin, but the only problem is that it hooks to all textareas.
    If you have Simple Forum installed, the plugin would add quicktags to the text area although it already has them and you would have double line of quicktags in your forum posting form.

    I haven’t used WP for a year now and was disappointed when I resurrected my old site only to find the theme didn’t work with the latest WP. When I tracked the problem to Comments Quicktag, I was very happy to come across your modification.

    Thanks for taking the time.
