That one of the things that's been irritating me a bit for a while now, but not yet enough to do something about it. I guess a lot of other peple are in that stage.
BTW, I had a look on the test site, but i can't seem to find a way to post comments, let alone resize the boxes.
On an unrelated note, i was wondering about the changes you made to scoop's HTML subs to handle custom tags (<POPUP> in your case). Is this a purely ad-hoc fix for <POPUP>, or is it a more general solution? Specifically, i would be interested in coding up a way to tie (via a block) a new tag to a specific box, and letting the code in the box do whatever is needed to translate it in "true" HTML. Parameters in the tag can be passed via the CGI object to the box, or through another similarly unsightly kludge.
This has the advantage of giving administrators of scoop sites more freedom without having to touch the acutal codebase, as is already true for so much other scoop features.
My questions to you are:
- Have you perchance already coded up something similar? If so, would you be willing to share when school/time permits?
- As someone with previous experience of hacking up the scoop HTML parts, do you have any pointers/ideas on how to do this?
All advice is welcome. I'm still a relative newbie having coded up only a box and a simple (hello-world type) op. The idea of tearing up scoop's HTML engine makes me a bit uneasy ...
