Fixed updated v2 of the TinyMCE mod together with working modded files for FB 1.0.4 in my next post.

Here's v.2 of my mod. It fixes the html tag display issue of the previous version.

By popular demand, I've also attached a set of modded files from the vanilla stable 1.0.4 version of Fireboard for easy implementation. The modded files will comment out the boardcode menu and the emoticons menu that comes with bbcode. I've also commented out the preview button since TinyMCE has a built-in preview.

Remember to backup your files before implementing. Also remember to check if your template initializes tinyMCE already as this might create some conflicts.

Note that this version of the mod stores the posts with (disabled) html tags so make sure you read up on how to make your tinyMCE safer. The default level of security is fine by me but it may not be for you.

Another note: bbcode tags and the new parser are fully functional in the back but bbcode tags have to be entered manually right now. If someone wants to create a hybrid input mode, you'll have to figure out a way to make the bbcode js inject text into the TinyMCE textarea. That would be kind of neat.

Enjoy.

Thank you so much! I will give it a try tonight and report back with results.

Hey,

First of all thanx for this update. I wana know one more thing. Can you please tell me that is their any way tht i can use this TINYMICE editor in fireboard without enabling it for my joomla? I mean i dont want to use TINYMICE for my whole site, i just want to use it for fireboard.

Waiting for your reply!!!

Thnx

Yes, you can use TinyMCE for Fireboard only. As long as you input the correct path in the TinyMCE config call (inside fb_write.html.php) it really doesn't matter if TinyMCE is set up as the default editor in Joomla or not. The call initializes it only when someone is posting or editing a post.

P. S. Which reminds me that everyone using the modded files I posted *will* need to fix two paths in the TinyMCE config.

Oh thnx for your really quick reply. Now i m gona try it tonight and hope it will work. Thnx once again.

Here's a real stupid question. Would this mod work if I wanted to specify a path to a DIFFERENT editor-like FCK?

hey,

i just tried it and it worked really well. But it doesnt have much functions like SIZE, COLOUR of text and it doesnt even have smilies. Can you plzz tell me how to bring these things up? (and some more functions )

grumblemarc:
FCK should work. Any html-based text editor should behave analogously.

gurbir:
The functions are enabled/disabled in the TinyMCE config call inside fb_write.html.php. My config is really conservative. Read the great TinyMCE wiki for details on how to enable more functions:

wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration

Can you tell me some simple way to get all the functions that are in JOOMLA by default into FIREBOARD?

Thnx
