Title: RWL 3.0 - copy paste messages
Post by: taekwondokid42 on May 17, 2013, 01:41:13 PM
Someone sent me a link in a pm on turbo, and I couldn't highlight the text to copy-paste it.

This would be a nice feature :P

Copy from the top of the message. you'll still (unfortunately) have to copy everything before the link, though.

And yeah, this seems an obvious fix. :P

I actually don't know what it would take to make it work. My issue would be the possibility of linking malware, but we've never had an ingame bot problem so it might be fine.

PA appears to have made the message block an anchor tag (link) that runs a JavaScript function on click.

All you need to do is remove the anchor tag (<a>) and this should allow copy-pasting. The problem then is that you'll need to add a reply button or somesuch like beneath the message body.

The below works:

    <a class="button_submit floatright"
        href="javascript:hideshow(document.getElementById('reply-to-826'))">
        Reply
    </a>


This gives you other issues though, you need to clearfix the message container, and the reply textarea doesn't clear the reply link.

I can provide the html for the above if you want, not sure if you want to really change this (it requires changing the look a little by adding the reply button in).

I'ma necro this thread to comment that being able to copy/paste easily would be really nice. Just go back to a message code similar to Reg, I can highlight and copy all day, there.
