Forums don't use html code. They use BB Code. When you go to edit your signature, look for the icon that looks like the earth with a chainlink on it. That's the hyper link button. Self explanitory from there really...

Well that seems simple enough. Thanks man.

I don't have that.
any ideas? Also, what about making a picture the link? How do you do that?

Look at bbcode(dot)org(front-slash)examples (this 8 post thing is bringing me down... I tried to actually give you the code, but anything having to do with a weblink or the URL tag makes the forum angry). From there click "Posting Images" and it will give you an example that should work.
So you will need the image hosted somewhere (xda photo albums... think I saw that in the user CP?), get the address of it, and put that in for the IMG tag, and then you use the URL after the = sign. You should be able to copy/paste that and just change the http parts inside to suit what picture and link you want.

I deleted the beginning and ending bracket and replaced it with the Astrix* symbol so you know what it looks like. The text that you are linking is in red, and should go between the URL code. Hope that makes sense.
Quick way of doing it is, highlight the text you want linked>once it is highlighted click on the insert link button> paste the url > and hit ok. Now the text that you are linking should be in the middle as above. Hope any of this makes sense, can get confusing.
Hope this is what your looking for.
edit: if you don't see those buttons, it's probably because you don't have those privileges

Thanks guys, I'll try this out when I get home and be sure to button thank yall.

Uh, well it's still not letting me. Still comes out as url string, no text link. But now I know how to do it. I'll check with a mod and see if permissions are set to no for me. At the bottom of the page it says they are all good. Thanks again guys.

There is an option to create a donate button along with an HTML code that you can copy.
In signature setup go to the view html option and paste in the code.

Realy looked and looked and looked, can't find a view html option in my signature. Tried internet explorer and mozilla firefox. On the bottum in section Signature permissions the option Allow html is Off.

If rather than going for HTML, you use the unencrypted paypal donate link (it says it's for email) and then use BBCode to add that link to an image, it works well.

I3v5y suggestion is a good one.
For info though the when in Edit Signature you'll see above the smilies an icon with a little "A" beside a big "A". That's the icon to use when swapping to HTML format.

The email link is also a lot less character intensive!

Maybe Make the 200 character long Text into A 25 character Long "tinyURL."

adding videosite behaviors in 'FlashBundle' tcpmp

there are a few sites that i would like to add to my plug in...
i tried searching the forums..but, i failed... so, if it exists allready... im sorry...
does any one know how to add a site to the player ?
i.e.
when you click a link on youtube.com, it opens up a box that says
play video
save video
linked page
how do i make that happen on other sites? is there a registry somewehere?
the one in particular that i want is...uhhh....adult. works just like youtube... but its you_orn.com
lol had to ask.. ... i use it for...um... research...
Before you get flamed, quickly *REMOVE* mention of my ROM from this thread or you'll be told (somewhat rightfully so) to go ask in my ROM thread.
Your actual question is about how to change the videosite behavior in 'FlashBundle' along with TCPMP 0.72rc1.
I would also like to know more sites to add to videosites.htm, especially those of the forsaid topic matter
The original developer says to post suggested sites in his thread here or to pm him with suggestions.
from his FAQ:
1.18 Can more sites be added?
Definitely. Although ultimately it may depend on the site and the type of content. Post your suggestions in this thread or PM me.

Sounds great. If you could attach it here, even better for all
ok.. ill edit the html to have those links...
but...
it still wont work, i dont think... i think there is another place that has to be changed..the html doc is just a simple link...
hmm...
it works with a ie plugin, videoloader.dll
i added it to the html... wich loaded the page...but the vids still dont work
i tried to open and edit the dll with PE EXPLORER.... no dice...
im a web dev... dll etc arent my area....
I was browsing Slashdot on my phone, and there was a link to a YouTube video... clicked it and the same menu came up to play, save, or link.
So it has to be something more then the HTM file, right? Something to recognize the source of the link and act accordingly?
I would also like a more updated video bundle:-D Silverscreen has changed the way there video's are and that site no longer works
i dont think so, because if you navigate to youtube with out it... it still works...
i did read in the link above that a site OVGUIDE.com had some that worked..
its all about how they fetch the flv... if they do it just like youtube or oneof the ones that allready work.... it will work...
i tried looking in the dll... doesnt make sence to me...there must be another file

Sticky Note Widget.

I was bored and wanted a learning exercise so I wrote this because I always wanted had it on all my other phones.
Basically a stick note widget. A short title and then note body. Click on the note to display the body. Body text is fully link enabled.
Yes I know its not perfect and for some reason the H builds see the initial entry screen very thin ( this doesnt happen on G builds and the emulator )
FUTURE: Select your note colour.
Who knows what else.
Version 1.01: Ability to edit notes. Long press expanded note. I am still not 100% happy with the look of the expanded note.
Version 1.0.3: Added cork board background to expanded note - much better look. Used jpeg images app size now 1/4 what it was.

PS: I would have posted this in the market but it seems not to like this app
I have not tried it, but keep improving it (if it can be improved on) and enter my contest

Hey!
Just installed it, it's looking good and actually pretty useful
Thanks for sharing.
Could someone upload it to a site that the g1 can download from? I would like to try this now.
reached download limit - could you put it somewhere else?
would like to try it
Cannot download
Awww, i would like to try this widget out, thank you for your hardwork. This widget would be very useful to me as i could see wat is my homework lol
Can you attach your widget to this thread? should be easier to pick it up
Can you post another link, first link either doesn't work or reached download capacity.
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

Sorry bout that
I am unable to get the file to attach here - regradless of making it a zip or what. so find it here instead, sorry bout that.

Fantastic little app. Thank you!
great little widget. I'm sure you're still improving things. my suggestion for now would be to change the pop-up note to look more like the little one. Something like this. http://freedomfighterskateboards.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/post-it-note.jpg
Great application. Can you do some modifications like editing the note, and bigger on screen size? It is verry useful. By the way, i can host it - if you need hosting place, please write me private message.
Works great. The intial launch screen looks a little odd but it works well!

I agree. Since the pop-up note is small why not make the input area the same size as the note. What about a way to edit the note? it would be nice to have a way to edit the text once it's been posted.
Just thoughts .. Thanks for sharing!!
I dl'ed this to my sd card, but I'm unclear on how to install. Sorry noob question I know.
DUDE!
This is a great concept...
I would think that you are still developing the UI and adding the ability to edit a note on-the-fly... having access to the live text would be great for cut and paste functions.
I look forward to the next update...
This should be a "STICK" topic... Get it... Sticky
I crack myself up
Good Work man...
That's a cool little app right there. Good job man!

Provided you have ADB Setup... (if not google it)
Connect the phone to the PC-
Open a command prompt
Type
adb remount
adb install C:\(where ever you have the file stored)
And PESTO!!! you have your sticky note widget...
That's how I installed it
DUDE.
This is pretty frickin' awesome.
Well done.

If you go to the link in post #1 of the topic, there's a screenshot. Swype is a soft keyboard. It works by "swyping" your finger from one letter to the next as you form a word. See the Swype website here:
http://www.swypeinc.com/
The videos on their website show how it works.
It works fine in Myn's Donut @ 320 x 480 @ 160. After downloading and installing, go to Settings > Locale & Text to set it up. Then when you long press in a text box, Swype will be an option for text input. You can easily switch back to the Android keyboard if you don't like it. I think it's almost easier to use your stylus when you are swyping, as you can see where you're going better than with your finger on our tiny keyboard. YMMV.

Thank you. Too bad I use 240. I don't mind the Donut keyboard, and int he past I have loved touchpal.
btw. there is very similar application to the Swype and it's called Shapewritter(free app), you can find it on a market. It also works on 320x240.
thanks for posting this, very cool!
Hello, I got the sprint hero and am trying to get swype but each one I find says "you trial has expired" or something along those lines. I see you put up a link in February and am wondering if you know of or have a swype apk that's not expired?

I have it and am loving it.

If you search for "swype hvga 1.60" you will be able to find the version that works (at least it works fine on my cdma hero), and doesn't expire.

Thanks m8, found it right quick for my Legend.

quick office

ive been looking around and havent found what im looking for so i figured id post it.i noticed the desire has quickoffice installed.can we get a .apk to place on the nexus?
thanks
My nexus has quick office installed out of the box. Just click a file and quick office opens.
However if you want to edit the files then you need docs to go or similar.
would yours be att version?mine is tmo and no office thats why im asking someone for a .apk
flash cyanogen and you'll have it. or download the rom to get the apk
Aren't both versions excujw the same? Have you actually attempted to open a word file to see what happens? I guarantee you it will work.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have the quick office icon when I first got my nexus one, but at some point after trying to open an office document I now have the icon, so I don't know whether it's there, but just not completely installed until you try and open a document.
Re: I'm pretty sure I didn't have the quick office icon when I first got my nexus one
It comes preloaded as a non visible file. But as you go to open a document you will notice quick office as you viewing tool.
Yup it's there on all Nexus Ones and always has been. Bought my Nexus in early january and it was there then as well. I did buy Documents To Go though since it's quite a bit more extensive.
In case you still need it
im on cyanogen

To quote someone all you have to do is look at the persons post and at the bottom right hand side of their post click on "quote". Pretty easy if you ask me
And no problem. To install the apk just use a file manager (like Astro) from the marketplace
i was looking to see how to quote multiple posts i know how to quote a single.
thanks again
