What is on Your Mind?

In the past few days have I have done a lot of code cleanup work in various categories, including faster page loading and bug fixes:

Cheers.

In addition, today I made considerable changes for mobile:

The mobile site is starting to look really good, so I encourage everyone to view the forums when mobile.

In the future, I plan for mobile:

Starting on a mini-toolbar for the mobile editor, I just added a code tag button to the showthread and newreply functions in mobile, using this JS code

Code:

<script>
String.prototype.insertAt = function(index, string) {
  return this.substr(0, index) + string + this.substr(index);
};

function makeBBCode(start, end) {
  var txtBox = document.getElementById("m-st");
  txtBox.value = txtBox.value
    .insertAt(txtBox.selectionEnd, end)
    .insertAt(txtBox.selectionStart, start);
}

</script>

HTML:

Code:

<div class="d-flex justify-content-between m-st-lt">
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Reply:</span>
<span>
<i onclick="makeBBCode('[CODE]','[/CODE]')"class="fas fa-code" style="margin-right:30px;padding-top:10px;">
</i>
</span>
</div>

Works fine. Just need to add more FA buttons and add NOPARSE wrappers for this.

Done... if I force NOPARSE with the CODE TAGs, there are no errors when there is BBCODE tags in the code being tagged; but this is the same problem in the desktop, so it's not a big deal.

So now I have a new way ahead (no need to use the legacy toolbar code from the desktop code) to make a mini-toolbar for the mobile editor, but the problem with this approach is that it is hard to select text on mobile (doable, but a pain).

I may consider installing MARKDOWN for this instead:

In the meantime, have added BBCODE tags on mobile for:

I think I will stop here unless anyone who uses mobile has any personal BBCODE tags to request.

Have Bootstrap'ied many, many mobile pages, especially editors, etc. Things are looking good and I'm getting board with cleaning up CSS and Bootstrap, but mobile is now looking much better, and since I use it a lot, that's important! Haha.

Maybe I'll start on the new badging system soon... I keep putting it off, doing housekeeping and code cleanup tasks first; but at some point in time, cleaning up CSS is getting mundane. The good news is that I'm getting REALLY good at it.

I look at my legacy code and think to myself "wow, I was such a terrible CSS coder back then!!!!!"

If I was not so busy making it happen, I could write a book or do use YT videos on this stuff!

I can do things in minutes that took hours years ago. My jQuery and CSS skills are really good. I've almost memorized half or more of the Bootstrap classes (give or take) and can code a lot of Bootstrap without references and cheatsheets at blazing speeds. Wooo Hoooo..... Mama' don't let your babies grow up to be coderrrrrrrs ...... LOL

I guess I need to master VueJS sooner than later; maybe I'll do the new badging system in Vue... maybe not!
