This is what the hack does: It let's you preview a message when you're editing it, you can only preview when you're posting or replying the way it is now:

It works on my testserver, but I've not tested on a 'live' forum, but it seems to be working allright...

Instructions

1 Backup your editpost.php file!!! and open the original one...

Then:

after:

if (!isset($action) or $action=="") {
  $action="editpost";
} 

insert:

if($preview AND $action="updatepost")
    $action = "editpost"; 

after:

if ($action=="editpost") {

  // draw nav bar
  $navbar=makenavbar($threadinfo[threadid],"thread",1); 

insert:

  if($preview)
  { $parseurl=iif($parseurl=="yes",1,0);
      $email=iif($email=="yes",1,0);
      $allowsmilie=iif($disablesmilies=="yes",0,1);
      $signature=iif($signature=="yes",1,0);
    
    $previewmessage=$message;
    
    if ($parseurl) {
      $previewmessage = $postinfo[message]=parseurl($previewmessage);
      }
    
    $previewpost=1;
    $previewmessage=bbcodeparse($previewmessage,$foruminfo[forumid],$allowsmilie);
    $postinfo[message]=$message;    

    if ($signature) {
      $previewmessage.=bbcodeparse("\n__________________\n$bbuserinfo[signature]",0,$allowsmilies);
    }

    eval("\$postpreview=\"".gettemplate("editpost_postpreview")."\";");

    $parseurlchecked=iif($parseurl,"checked","");
    $postinfo[allowsmilie] = $allowsmilie;
    $postinfo[showsignature] = $signature;
    $postinfo[iconid] = $iconid;
    $postinfo[title] = $title;
    $previewchecked=0;
  }
  else{
       $postinfo[message]=htmlspecialchars($postinfo[pagetext]);
    $parseurlchecked="CHECKED";
  } 

Replace:

 $postinfo[message]=htmlspecialchars($postinfo[pagetext]); 

with:

//$postinfo[message]=htmlspecialchars($postinfo[pagetext]); 

replace:

   if ($checkid=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT subscribethreadid FROM subscribethread WHERE userid='$userinfo[userid]' AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]")) {
    $emailchecked="CHECKED";
  } else {
    $emailchecked="";
  } 

with:

   if(!$preview)
      $email=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT subscribethreadid FROM subscribethread WHERE userid=$userinfo[userid] AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");
  $emailchecked=iif($email,"CHECKED",""); 

Make a new template called 'editpost_postpreview' with the following content:

 <table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=4>
<TR bgcolor="#6c6081">
<TD valign=middle><smallfont color="#afa3c5"><B>Post Preview:</B></smallfont></TD>
</TR>

<tr bgcolor="#DEDEDE">
<td><normalfont>$previewmessage</normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>

then edit your 'editpost' template:

insert the '$postpreview' variable at the appropiate place (look into the 'newthread' template for an example)

and replace:

<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="SUBMIT" ACCESSKEY="S" VALUE="Submit Now">

with:

<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="preview" ACCESSKEY="P" VALUE="Preview">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="SUBMIT" ACCESSKEY="S" VALUE="Submit Now">

All done! Enjoy

Peace
