[AP] Character Counter 1.2.0

[Fuerto]

Can it show forum's character limit for posts and for signatures in "454 / 1000" format?

apathy updated [AP] Character Counter with a new update entry:

1.2.0

• Remove duplicate permission (double check to make sure "Forum permissions: Can view character / word counter" is correctly set)
• Count words instead of whitespaces
• Create "Display counter in the following locations" admin option
• Create style properties for restyling & relocating the counter within the editor

Unrelated, but please tell me how to make the editor beautiful like yours.

Mine looks bad like this.

Thank you so much! I made an attempt, but it didn't turn out as well as yours.

I lack experience in this area. Would you be able to share your CSS code with me, please?

I genuinely appreciate it!

Thank you for your reply,

Do you mean the CSS in the extra.less template!

Not had the time to investigate just yet (it was a while ago I wrote this update and only got to test it recently), but from what i remember the Froala editor XF uses doesn't actually output a post like

TEST TEST TEST
TEST TEST TEST

It either looks like (recalling from memory here so maybe I'm wrong):

TEST TEST TESTTEST TEST TEST

OR

<p>TEST TEST TEST</p>
<p>TEST TEST TEST</p>

if the way it outputs the text is like the former example then I don't think there's anything I can do, because there's no way for the counter to tell where the line breaks are and count the two words around it separately.
If it's the latter, with <p> tags, then it should be easier to correct.

I would appreciate your full CSS code to get the colorful icons as well. Could you paste it in a comment at https://xenforo.com/community/resources/editor-toolbar-button-icon-styling.8248/ ? It's much easier to edit code than have to write it from scratch.

Have you any other editor-related addons installed? Are there any errors appearing in your browser console (CTRL+Shift+K for firefox, not sure about chrome)

Interesting. I just tested it and I can type in the box but the counter doesn't work in BB code mode.

I'm on Firefox, and I tested two different Firefox browsers. I don't have other editor-related addons.

I have some warnings in CTRL+Shift+K, but no errors.

Indeed, after a quick test with the completely default settings I have the same experience as you - in regular editor mode I can both type & have my characters counted, if I'm in BbCode mode I can still type but the counter will not refresh until I swap back to regular editor mode.
I've not gotten a chance to test the other options but I wonder if (for instance) the word counter option is causing the inability to type at all in BbCode mode.
