XF 2.1 How do I replicate this code block

[Jon12345]

I want to use the same code add-on that is used by the site as seen in this thread: https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threa...tive-workbook-delete-closed-workbook.1122524/

Any idea what is used? I see there is a copy icon in the top right.

I am aware of the add-on Code 2.1.2, but I want to know what is used on that site.

 

[shimspedy]

var = "foo"
// you mean something like this

do you mean this

 

[Jon12345]

No. I mean what add-on is that page using for adding the code? Your example is different because you don't have the copy icon in the top right hand corner.

i have no idea but if it doesn't exist you can archive that with javascript

Thanks @beerForo, although my question is about what is used on that site, not alternatives.

 

[Steve F]

Possibly made by the site owners. Can't really tell but it doesn't look like Code 2.1.2 addon by @CMTV . We use his on our site and it works really well FYI.

 

[Jon12345]

Thanks @Steve F. One of my concerns on some of these plugins is that if I later remove them, does it mess up all the code that was previously entered using Code 2.1.2?

 

[Steve F]

That's a understandable concern.

This is in the add-on overview

Unistallation

WARNING: after uninstalling all code blocks with custom titles/highlighting/class will not be rendered as code blocks!

1. Uninstall the addon from ACP
2. Go to forum root folder and remove js/CMTV/Code folder.

So some risk is involved I suppose though I will mention he has made this add-on open source so anyone could acquire the code to update it if need be.

Thanks for pointing that out for me. I was justified in considering this then. What to do, what to do...

Check the alternatives I posted

Seems the last two add to the current code block so if you removed it, the block would remain. But double check with the authors. The one that says "Copy to clipboard" you could style as an icon.

 

[Jon12345]

One of the reasons for me wanting to mimic the method used on the link I gave is actually not about functionality. When I put my site link through Googles Page Insights, it shows that when I have a code block on my page, it is classed as not mobile friendly. But, the website I linked to is mobile friendly, despite the code block. So, I figure something is going on there!

 

[beerForo]

The 3 are free downloads did you test them and run through Insights? If not, there you go. Try it.

 

[Jon12345]

I haven't because of fear of it messing something up. Is it easy to uninstall these things cleanly, or do they leave stuff behind?

I wish I could add VBA to the code block provided by Xenforo, but I can't find anything about adding your own program or pruning the list that is given by default.

That's why you use a test install of xF. You're allowed, as long as it is in a password protected directory.

 

[Jon12345]

In an ideal world I would set up another board, but I am nearly done with customisations and don't want to go to that effort.

I might just have to take the risk on one of the add-ons.

 

[beerForo]

You need a dev board, not just for customization, but what if you want to test a query? Or test... anything? It takes 5 minutes to install XF. Just create a folder and install.

 

[Jon12345]

I've done over 80 hours work this week and have limited energy for that. I will carry on researching.

Well your original question didn't mention your intent. That could have saved a couple hours. You can follow what XF is/isn't doing about it here:

My brain is completely frazzled. I don't know what my intent is anymore.
