I have some friends that I link regulary, and it got annoying to have to type their links up all the time. I didn't want to use the auto linking hack because I don't link them every time I type their names and I have some friends without sites with the same names. So I made a hack that allows you to click a button and link that person in your post instantly. Using some code from b2evolution's smilie bar and b2's smilie array I made this hack.

I will not take responsibility for any errors you make installing this hack. Back up your files. If you believe that I made a mistake writing this, plase let me know.

Step one:
Open b2config.php
Find the follwing line in your b2config.php file:
Quote:
$use_bbcode = 0; // use BBCode, like bold

Make sure it is set to 1 or this will not work. Example:
Quote:
$use_bbcode = 1; // use BBCode, like bold


Step two:
paste the following code anywhere into your b2config.php file:
Quote:
// ** QuickLinks **
$b2quicklinks = array(
'Name' => 'http://the.url.here',
);

You can add as many people as you want, just add another line with 'Name' => 'http://the.url.here', before the );.
Save and close b2config.php

Step three:
Open b2-include/b2edit.form.php
Find the following code:
Quote:
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="post_autobr" value="1" <?php
if ($autobr)
echo " checked" ?> tabindex="7" id="autobr" /><label for="autobr"> Auto-BR (converts line-breaks into <br /> tags)</label><br />

<?php echo $form_pingback ?>


BEFORE it, add:
Quote:
<br>
<?php
foreach($b2quicklinks as $linkname => $linkurl)
{
print '<input type="button" class="quicktags" value="'.$linkname.'" style="font-weight:none; width: auto" onClick="bbinsert(document.post,\'\', \'[url='.$linkurl.']'.$linkname.'[/url]\')" /> '; // TODO: escape '
}
?>
<br>

Save and close b2edit.form.php

Step four:
Open b2-include/b2quicktags.js
Find:
Quote:
// swirlee's bblink hack, slightly corrected

BEFORE it, add:
Quote:
function bbinsert(formObj, strIns, strInsClose )
{ // fplanque: added function

theSelection = false;

if (document.selection)
{
formObj.content.focus();
theSelection = document.selection.createRange().text; // Get text selection
// Add tags around selection
document.selection.createRange().text = strIns + theSelection + strInsClose;
formObj.content.focus();
theSelection = false;
return;
}

formObj.content.value += strIns + strInsClose;
formObj.content.focus();
return;

}

Save and close b2quicktags.js
This function was taken from b2evolution [link]
Congratulations, upload all your files and open your admin panel, under your post content box will be buttons with each name on them. Clicking the button will insert the link into your post!

There is one more optional step.

Step five (optional)
This step will make your links open in a new window.

Open b2-include/b2vars.php
Find the following code:
Quote:
'<a href="$1">$1</a>', // URL
'<a href="$1" title="$2">$2</a>',


And change it to:
Quote:
'<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>', // URL
'<a href="$1" title="$2" target="_blank">$2</a>',


Save and upload.
