Manhag,

The next step in the tinymce integration into FB makes tinyMCE editor appear in the Fireboard "post" screen.

1. open /com_fireboard/templates/default/smile.class.php

2. find the lines (brackets stripped):

[code:1]
td valign = "top" div id = "fb-rightcolpost"
textarea class = "..."

[/code:1]

and replace the text inside the " " with "mceEditor"

3. You might want to comment out the sections in smile.class.php that load up the Boardcode table row, and the emoticons, since tinyMCE has its own (worse-looking if you ask me).

What you just did was link the post textarea to the tinyMCE init you put into your index.php:
[code:1]
mode : "specific_textareas",
editor_selector : "mceEditor"
[/code:1]

You can create multiple tinyMCE layouts using different selectors. I can show you how to do that if you want a 'simple' tinyMCE to load in quickreply, for instance.

Now you should have tinyMCE running as a front but bbcode is still behind and you're likely to encounter all kinds of formatting issues so you may just have to do those changes and send me a link so we can troubleshoot your specific problems.

Good luck,
Gom

The solution would be simple:

Sombody write a simple WYSIWYG edit for BB-code. Less security risks and easy for endusers. A user does not care what the underlying encoding is.

fxstein:

I'm not sure what the FB team is working on right now, but it would be nice if that is what they're going for. It's a lot of javascript to write though and if you think that's simple and you're a coder, I urge you to do it for all our sakes.

The issue with BB-code in fireboard is not only the unpretty front end, though. The way messages are coded and decoded is really chaotic and scattered across too many files. And, as this forum itself would testify, it behaves just as erratically as it looks in the code.

thanks for fast reply

i will try in a test forum

i found a lite Pseudo WYSIWYG BBcode Editor

attached


it is tooo simple more than tinymce

plz read the file code called pseudo.bbcode*******.mod

I have no Idea whats happening, thought BOJ was doing some thing on Wysiwyg last night but it seems more like candystuff for their own site than anything "useful" for installing/upgrading but hey, they need to play around as well.

I would like a step by step walkthrough how to make Fireboard Wysiwyg -friendly. i´d like the user to be able to chose what they like best (I know most of our user would chose Wysiwyg for sure).

Right now, clock is 04:56 AM here in sweden, i am to tired to think really clear so, excuse alla my typos!

i done all step

it gives
"You forgot to include a message. Click your browser’s back button to go back and try again"


see attached

This error comes from the javascript code that handles errors.

Next step:

open /com_fireboard/sources/fb_bb.js.php

find:

formmessage=document.postform.message.value;
if ((formmessage.length||1)) {
alert("You forgot to enter a message.";
submitme=0;
}


Comment this section out. Now, if a user forgets to enter a message, the error will be returned after they navigate away from the page--inconvenient but not unbearable.

There's a way to modify the js code to give errors for the tinyMCE message area, but I haven't figured it out yet. Will post when I do. Anyway, that's not essential for now.
