[CLOSED][GUIDE] HOW TO POST: Understanding the UI in posting - About xda-developers.com

Hello New Users! (I prefer the term "New User" rather than "noob" ) This is a thread on some functions you can see whenever you make a post on a thread.
So let's get started!
First thing's first.. you gotta click on POST REPLY
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will then see this

SCARED? Don't be Here's a guide on how to make a good post content
Let's dissect those functions!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1 MAKE A TITLE!
-you can make a name or a title for your post, although it is completely unnecessary to do so. Make sure your title is appropriate
2 FONTS AND SIZES
- You can click on the dropdown arrows to change the font and sizes for your post
3 FONT COLOR
-Change your font's color to whatever you like
4 SMILIES!
-You can add graphical smilies to put some life on your post
5 ATTACHMENTS
-Attach your desired files and upload them to your post, attachments will be found below the post
6 UNDO and REDO
-Well, it's pretty much the same when you click on Ctrl+Z (Undo) and Ctrl+Y (Redo)
7 INCREASE SIZE
- This will increase the size of your post body, this is a great advantage especially when you try to recheck your post
8 YOUTUBE TAGS
-For all your awesome yt tags Tags are things you put down that are related to your video and will help people find your video easier. It is like categories almost. More info: HERE
9 PHP WRAP
-This is commonly used when you post codes. It goes a little something like this
10 HTML TAGS
-HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets. Here's for more INFO11 CODE WRAP
-Wrap your codes here! a good way to lessen confusion when posting especially when you put on codes
12 QUOTE WRAP
-Another WRAP function, this is commonly used to quote someone else's post
13 IMAGE LINK
-You can attach an image in the middle of your post
14 EMAIL LINK
-You can insert an email link here if ever needed and make the link into clickable text.. clicking on the text will lead you to Microsoft Outlook
15 ADD and REMOVE LINK
-This can be used to wrap an ordinary text and make it into a clickable text that will lead you to whatever link you hid
16 LIST and INDENTS
-This serves the same functionality like that of in Microsoft Word
17 ALIGNMENTS
-Align your text either leaning on the right or left, or center. Also, This serves the same functionality like that of in Microsoft Word
18 BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE
-Bold: Renders the text with a strong emphasis which is usually heavier than surrounding text.
-Italic: Italicises the selected text which usually appears slanted to the right.
-Underline: Adds a line under the selected text.
19 REMOVE TEXT FORMAT
-This will remove all your text formats. Formatted text, styled text or rich text, as opposed to plain text, has styling information beyond the minimum of semantic elements: colours, styles (boldface, italic), sizes and special features (such as hyperlinks).
20 TEXT BODY
- This is where you will see all your typed words XD
Just below the TEXT BODY, you will see POST ICONS
-They are optional. If you choose one of the icons and you have clicked submit, you will see at the left side of your post's title: the Post Icon you chose earlier
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Below POST ICONS, you will find ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

Yes, its because the image URL is linked from attachments. I don't know how, but the URL (in attachments) changes from time-to-time. ie,
the original url : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/69808bc1673cb4d05bfb5048e208c9b0/506d83a1/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
Now the URL is : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fb23e0b5ec01b7962ec67603493c4dae/506da0aa/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
So it would be better if the image is uploaded in Image hosting servers like Imgur or Imageshack or even dropbox etc.

Hi all,
I've been registered for a few months now, but never took the time to introduce myself
I was following the O2x development since I've discovered the galaxy note a few weeks ago.
I'd like to thank all the developers for their great work!
Good going (I'm a poker player too by the way)

(Wm6) Iphone Deluxe Dialpad by xelashiu (updated 07/09/14)

Seeing that my ppc friends in the world request me to publish a WM6 version, I have made some amendment of the Wm5 version so as to fit WM6 users,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Download (LVSW 08/04/07): (need to register)
http://www.hkppc.com/xelashiutheme/iphone/Xelashiu_iphone_Deluxe_AD_WM6.html
If your Wm6 rom doesn't have smart dialing, pls install
WM5 HTC Smartdialer cab (Extracted from Hermes)
2. WM6(LVSW 19/05/07) will not be published,
but you can still get it!
If you want to have this version, you need to request by replying the post of my forum
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=7133 (leaving your email address and request).
Also you must agree not to distribute by yourself (e.g. posting to another forum). It is for personal use only. If you can follow this, I will send this to you by email.
3.Hermes 3x4 layout WM6(15/09/07) will not be published, but you can still get it!

More details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1509945&postcount=47
Also, different roms will need redesign the layout. (Or else, the number will not match!)But it is easy for me to do so! However, I will not publish them in free of charge now. For those who are polite, friendly, sincere and rational guys, I will still extend my helping hand to them and treat them as my friends. Just like in this post of our forum
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=7133&page=6#pid39446
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=7133&page=7#pid39490
For those who are childish, silly, rude in manner, I just neglect and treat them merely as "spam".
Finally, I need to say Millions thanks to those who are sincerely support me and even economically support my dailpad design. "You" are really my friends and I am willing to serve you by all means.
It looks great mate!...will give a tray for this dial pad
Regards,
Primoz
Can you mirror this on rapidshare or something similar?
I also downloaded the iphone slide lock ( 24 hour format )
Xelashiu rules!
great work
Is it possible to change the Background. I don't want my Phone in Aquarium-Style, but i like the Dialpad Layout very much.

All rights(including any form of distributing, e.g. mirrors) reserved by hkppc.com.Even the mirror should ask for our permission! Right!
Maybe its a cultural thing but file redundency is a good thing for every1!!
Verry good skin, thanks so much xelashiu
xie xie nin (谢谢您)
The problem with registering with any new site is that within 1 week of registering on it (no matter what type of site it is), is that your spam content seems to increase and people then have access to your IP (which leads to trojans, attacks, etc.).
I, like most people, like to keep as much of my information for myself. And, that whole attack thing, it just sucks.
I never got good marks for sharing in grade school.
That being said, I personally am glad that you have shared this with us. At least with the mirrors listed, you know where your file is being distributed. It is not like someone put it on emule and you have no earthly idea where it is.

Please forgive my ignorance but I will like to have some more information about this.
When you say "All rights" are you talking about the:
The IPHONE brand?
The Artwork including icons?
About the legal stuff:
If you are giving this "software" away for free, under which license is your work protected?
Can we have a copy of such license, if any?
Please with your answer provide the country of origin as well as any other pertinent information within the legal framework.
Thank you.

Hmmm... man... if somebody DO NOT WISH to distribute HIS work with any form - just respect it. Apologize, delete post and that's it.
Xelasiu DO NOT WISH to distribute HIS work with mentioned method.
Believe me or not - building this stuff is maybe more complicated than "next rom cooking".
Sorry, your ignorance couldn't be forgiven.

Carramba... just installed this stuff on my spv m3100.
Everything is ok although...

- white menu screen (with white fonts )

Any ideas? (tried to change today theme 100 times...)

Well, I know I'm rather noob but maybe someone more clever could think it out...
We have many attempts to flash our devices with "white screen effect".
Some of us reports that have bad blocks, but in different areas. Think that mayby this is way with no way out.
Symptom remains the same always. White screen.
Important is that in fact - system works good (eg filesystem, core, etc...). After taping a screen with stylus - we can calibrate it and go on.
Then we have today screen with no background, a telephone pad with no background, media player with no background... In fact it's such annoying that we can't use our system.
We can even use our camera and record a video or take a picture, but we can not see it.
But not always... if we use "full screen" mode - we can see our films... - strange? isn't it?
Maybe system after flash have some "very small" defect concerning missing ability to scaling down bitmaps or something?
Maybe some stupid modification of graphical engine of our phone after flash will result in getting fully healthy system?
Maybe someone wiser will think it out?

I do not expect support unless I pay for it ... hm...
Anyway, did anyone with white screen effect tried to put into "white" phone registry file from "healthy" fresh flashed one?
Mayby we do not need new bootloader...

Think it out. And try to think positive. If you can think of course.
Fully support xelashiu. The dialpad is a nice job.
Building a dialpad is quite difficult, i fully understand the feeling of xelashiu.
Thanks alot for this dialer I really like it
xelashiu, you are doing an excellent job with these dialpads, and it is completely within your right to restrict others from mirroring your works. However, you must make it clear on your website and/or in your posts what rights are given to people in regard to your works. If it is just a download without any license info, people will usually assume "public domain" which means anyone can do anything with it. I am not saying that people should assume that, nor am I saying that it's a correct assumption. What I am saying is that you should tell people what they can and can't do with your works, otherwise they will assume total freedom.
Please do not let this incident discourage you from making more of your great dialpads.

Find On Page / Forward / View Source bookmarklets

UPDATE: New incremental search on page ("Next" button)!
So, one thing that has annoyed me about Mango are the changes to IE's user interface. I love the new rendering and JavaScript engines, but the UI is a pain. It wasn't enough to hide away the Tabs and Favorites options; they completely removed the "Find on page" and "Forward" menu options.
However, these can be (somewhat) implemented in JavaScript, and stored as Favorites (sometimes called "bookmarklets") that execute the script instead of navigating to a page. This is the approach that was used for iOS 3 and below, for example (which also lacked Find on Page). It also works on the desktop, incidentally.
Together with XDA member @byobge, I set out to create bookmaklets that would reimplement these features on Mango.
Forward was easy. You can simply create a Favorite from any page, change the Name (I use "! Forward" to help it stand out), and set the Web Address box:
Code:
javascript:history.forward()
Find On Page was a lot trickier. For one thing, it's a more complicated action that doesn't have a built-in JS function like Forward. For another thing, IE on WP7 doesn't support the JS prompt() function, for no discernable reason (Mobile Safari does, which is how their version was implemented). To fix this, we created a pseudo-prompt that puts a highlighted bar with a text box and a button at the top of the current web page view. The actual searching and highlighting code was taken from multiple sources through various attempts to make this work, with the final version being borrowed from Jesse Ruderman’s bookmarklet collection on his blog.
UPDATED VERSION: Now adds incremental searching to the page, so it will auto-scroll you between them using a "Next" button!
Just like Forward, create a Favorite on any page, change the name (I used "! Find On Page"), and change the Web Address (Copy/Paste are your friends; make sure you get all of it!):
Code:
javascript:eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('(4(){4 e(s){b B.1z(s)}4 8(s){b B.1r(s)}4 12(){5 o=w.1w;b o==F?p.1v:o}4 Y(){5 o=w.1P;b o==F?p.1I:o}4 z(s){s.1J=\'1p\';s.1m=\'1M\';s.1i=12()+\'14\';s.1h=Y()+\'14\'}4 G(){5 2=e(\'2\'),9=e(\'9\');k(F==2){2=8(\'T\');2.r=\'2\';5 s=2.7,l=8(\'v\');z(s);s.1g=\'1e%\';s.y=\'#1f\';9=8(\'v\');9.r=\'9\';9.t=\'1d\';2.f(9);l.t=\'1k\';l.u=\'1o\';l.H=4(){P(9.u)};2.f(l);p.f(2)}10{2.7.O=\'S\';a=0}}4 P(s){e(\'2\').7.O=\'1l\';k(s===\'\')b;5 n=D(B.R,s.x(),s.Z),m=8(\'v\'),d=8(\'T\'),c=8(\'v\');1c(s+": "+a);2.13.18(2);d.r=\'U\';z(d.7);d.7.O=\'S\';m.t=\'16\';m.u=\'1b\';m.H=4(){N()};d.f(m);c.t=\'16\';c.u=\'1j\';c.H=4(){1L.1K()};d.f(c);p.f(d);i=a-1;N();b n}4 N(){5 s=e("J"+i),Q=-V,M=-V;s.7.y="X";++i;i%=a;s=e("J"+i);s.7.y="1G";1H{Q+=s.1q;M+=s.1R}1Q(s=s.1O);w.1N(Q,M);z(e(\'U\').7)}4 D(6,K,L){5 q,A,g,h,17,E;A=0;k(6.11==3){q=6.1u.x().1t(K);k(q>=0){g=8("1s");g.r="J"+a;g.7.y="X";h=6.15(q);17=h.15(L);E=h.1x(1y);g.f(E);h.13.1D(g,h);++a;A=1}}10{k(6.11==1&&6.I&&6.W.x()!="1A"&&6.W.x!="1B"){1C(5 j=0;j<6.I.Z;++j){j=j+D(6.I[j],K,L)}}}b A}5 a=0,i=0;5 w=1E,C=B;5 p=C.R;5 1a=C.19;G();C.1n(\'1F\')})()',62,116,'||pf||function|var|nd|style|dce|qt|ct|return|||gebi|appendChild|sp|mN|cur|ch|if|sb|nx|||db|pos|id||type|value|input||toUpperCase|backgroundColor|PAT|skip|document|doc|sN|mC|null||onclick|childNodes|fsp|te|len|yo||display||xo|body|inline|div|dv|30|tagName|red|PXO|length|else|nodeType|PYO|parentNode|px|splitText|button|eB|removeChild|documentElement|dde|Next|alert|text|100|FFFF00|width|left|top|Cancel|submit|none|zIndex|execCommand|Find|absolute|offsetLeft|createElement|SPAN|indexOf|data|scrollTop|pageYOffset|cloneNode|true|getElementById|SCRIPT|STYLE|for|replaceChild|window|stop|yellow|do|scrollLeft|position|reload|location|99|scrollTo|offsetParent|pageXOffset|while|offsetTop'.split('|')))

Improvements are totally welcome to this! Neither of us write JS professionally (or at least, I haven't in many years), and there are probably improvements that we haven't even thought of. There are also probably other useful bookmarklets that could be created. Go wild!
New script from @Martin7Pro to view the current page source:
Code:
javascript:h=document.documentElement.outerHTML;document.open("text/plain").write(h).close()
Note that this will "navigate forward" to the source view; you can return to the actual page just by hitting Back. If somebody finds a way to get it to open in a new tab, that would be awesome. window.open() doesn't seem to work as expected on WP7.
From @roqstr, a simple bookmarklet to jump to the top of the page:
Code:
javascript:scroll(0,0)
A few things to keep in mind:
Mobile IE doesn't support CSS position:fixed. Thus the shenanigans with figuring out the current view box.
Bookmarklets must be kept below 2048 characters in the mobile browser, thus the compacted form. You could definitley compress it further, though (for example, replace "document.getElementById" with a single-character variable).
Features that would be cool:
A way to find text that crosses an element boundary. This version only finds matches that occur entirely within a single text element.
A way to un-highlight without needing to refresh the page (although, in Mango, the Refresh button *is* sort of right there all the time).

EDIT2: A nice way to get the bookmarklets in an easy-to-copy way is to visit this link on the phone: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/shared_files/Bookmarklets.txt
However, that currently only has the original Find On Page version. Hopefully they'll update with the incremental version soon.
This is awesome stuff. Thanks a lot for your work, I think it will be useful to many of us.
As an alternative, Browser Plus also has the feature to search within a page.
That's awesome! Thanks~
You're welcome! It was fun putting it together.
Alternative browsers can be very cool, but are somewhat crippled by the lack of a way to set them as the default. I think it is actually possible to change the default browser - the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry hive has configurations for the default open action for the HTTP and HTTPS protocol URIs - but nobody that I've seen has done it yet.
I like the idea, because indeed the IE UI is a pain.
As Marvin_S and snickler are working on a new browser maybe they can add some features....

Cool stuff have added it here : bookmarklets for Windows Phone
Well I've discovered after half an hour copy and paste are not my friends....in the xda app I can see the full code on one page not a stupid scrolling box. but in the app I can't copy and paste the whole thing. Needless to say I still dont have find on page. it would be nice to copy the whole code at once

So why you don´t share the code here ?
GoodDayToDie could add it to post #1.
No need @contable, the link to them was already posted on the first page. I added it at the bottom of the first post, though; thanks for the suggestion!

I've decided to continue the work that jake044 has started.
(I hope this is OK, he did state that if we want to we can continue it)
The images that are his will have [jake044] next to the name.
If you want, I can make you a custom one. Just give me a request

How to make your own:
Banner
Template:
Font: Continuum Light
Now, when you have to have 2 line text (Recognised contributor for example) you have the font size at 18pt.
When the text is on one line (R.C.) the font size is 32pt
The colour for the text is the same as the XDA part on the left. But if you want the RGB colour numbers, it's 255,210,0.
Then just play around with the location, until you find the one that suits you
Avatar
Template:
The text size for two-lined text is 14pt
For one lined text it's 25pt.
And, like above, play around with the layout a bit, to find the one that you like.
This is cool buddy. Thanks

I personally used Photoshop, but you can use a good free image editing program called Paint.net
Once you've installed that and loaded the image in, click the small Town in the window on the left.

The Big Signature Problem

There's no restrictions on size of signatures. 1 or 2 line signature is fine, but most of users write big essay here. Even big photos can be found in signature.
Signatures just make the thread ugly. They just reduce the value of screen real estate. And, they make the webpage heavy, too.
The Awkward Situation: The post is 1 line long, but signature is 100 lines long.
There must be restrictions applied to signature size. I think, user profile is great place to enter big details.
If not, atleast, allow users to hide all signatures with one click.

This topic has been discused a number of times and the outcome is always the same, if you think someone has got a signature that is to big then you can report them. I feel that this will never change, as signatures sevrve a good purpose if used in the correct way, penalising everyone because some members go over the top with their Sig, i feel is a wronge way to go.
What s.d. said is correct. Also, you can hide all signatures under your Edit Options page. Technically you uncheck the box to display them, not "hiding" as such. If you use Chrome you can also use Archer's XDA toolbar to selectively hide signatures and more.

And it's that scale of size I believe the OP is referring to, and think any mod seeing sigs of that size should have a word. The irritance of seeing such signatures is on par with posts that have quoted 10 scroll posts to reply with one line.
Information like what phone, ROM, baseband one is using should be tucked under the username in posts, like how they categorise information in Personality Cafe. Signatures should be limited to a certain overall length. Oversized images should be automatically resized.

Possibly to the users screen size. I've got 1920x1080 display on my laptop as I suppose quite a lot of members do so what might be gigantic to some is normal for others, although the screenshot above is still over the top no matter what screen size anyone has.
If a users signature is too big just PM the user and tell him about it.
If he disagrees you can PM a senior mod who can trim it down.
I usually suggest the use of
tags if there's lots of information.

While this is definitely not a solution to the root of the problem, I have a temporary workaround for users with overly bloated sigs...
There's a browser extension called Stylish (Chrome | Firefox) that allows you to load custom CSS rules based on the current browser URI. I've set the following rules, among other minor tweaks of course... This way large sigs get scroll bars.
Code:
.postContent .postsig {
max-height: 250px;
}
I don't want to have to miss out on potentially helpful and interesting info in logical people's sigs just because there are people who think their sig is their own personal copy of Pinterest...

I have done this as I view on a Netbook and the scrolling was awful, I click on a user and view their sig in the profile if necessary.

I would always recommend hide tags to anyone with images in their signatures. They allow you to have all your content, without forcing everyone to see it, every time you post.
Archer's toolbar was also mentioned, and this is an excellent option also, allowing you to hide the sigs of selected users, not just all or nothing
And yes, if you see something ridiculous, either report it, or send a PM to your friendly Forum or Senior Mod. We're only too happy to help

Thanks for this great tutorial!!!
However, no matter what I do I always end up with a TINY sig pic. I'ts driving me insane.
I'm no stranger to Photoshop but I can't for the life of me get this to work!
I have followed your instructions to the letter, taking care to have the exact pixel dimensions and resolution as in your example.
If I open it in photoshop at 100% it looks great, nice size.
As soon as it's uploaded and added as my sig pic it is very small.
Any ideas or help is very much appreciated!!
Thank You...
