What you see is what you get - Wysiwyg editor

(31 posts)
  1. All,

    I have added a Wysiwyg editor to fulfill a popular request. Other than block quote all previously (manually) supported functions are available in this visual editor. This feature does not let you re-edit properly. You may have to clean up a little if you are re-editing a post. It will take several weeks to tweak this feature. I will disable it if there are too many problems. Let me know.

  4. ^^^Seems the larger image got lost... Unordered list:

    • List item 1
    • List item 2
    • List item 3
    Ordered list:

    1. List item 1
    2. List item 2
    3. List item 3
    Trying paragraph formatting:
    Discrimination against Roma communities in Europe has a long and bitter history. The repression came to a climax in the 1930-40s when they were targeted by fascist regimes in both Romania and Italy. In areas controlled by the German Nazis several hundred thousand Roma were rounded up and brought to concentration camps or executed directly. This genocide was not even an issue at the Nuremberg trial and the little compensation to the survivors or to the victims’ family members came late, if at all,” he said in a statement last week.

  6. Appears the the para formatting and img are working only in the editor.... ______________________________________________________

    I am working on it. Thanks - Admin It seems that an existing bug does not let you paste a picture. You might recall, in that past, if you re-edit an image link. The tool reinsert extra quotes "". Unless you clean up """, the image dispears. I think the same problem is inhibiting wysiwyg to post a pic. You can still paste an image the old way. Let me know if you find a solution from bbpress. http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/

  8. It would be better if you have added only the old markup buttons in this toolbar. They were simpler.

    Editing a quoted post removes its formatting. In opera i am unable to paste the text in this box with right click, although i can paste using ctrl+v

  9. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    I like the old normal text editor. It was 'simple'. I don't need 'bloated' stuff. I like to live 'simple'.

    @Admin: You can 'experiment' with the 'rich text
    editor' on a local computer. And when it is 'perfected', when it is
    'flawless', then you can upgrade the PKPolitics live website code.

    How's that ?

    Please save me! from this 'bloated' monster of a 'flawed' 'rich text editor'.

  10. Editing a post removes its formatting

    when a post is quoted, the text added appears as quote.

    Here is a suggesstion, instead of changing the whole box and adding a toolbar like this. just make the line "Allowed markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li img b" as links, so that when user click on blockquote a template of blockquote is added to cursor, when user selects text and click blockquote, blockquote surround selected text.. so on. it may be easier and less buggy

  11. I'd agree, get rid of this 'wysiwyg' monster!

  13. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    I am having problems in posting videos on the thread "Programs in Western Mass Media of Interest to Muslims"

    I need that this new rich text editor be removed. It is not accepting, not saving the text that I'm putting in the rich text editor. It is 'partially' saving the videos that I'm posting, while willfully throwing away parts of the text.

    Please help me.

    I liked the new editor. I dont format too much the text that I type for posts. So it is FINE?

    Can you add color option for text as well?

  15. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    @Admin/Moderators: This forum has remained 'consistent' because there  was not much formatting capabilities.

    When you add different formatting options, you will allow for this forum will to be turned into a zoo of different formats of text. It would loose its 'credibility' to be 'constructive'.

    We on this forum are here to discuss 'critical' 'issues', which concern our entire collective. Formating is the least of our 'needs' or 'concerns' on this forum.

    I urge you to remove the rich text editor, to restore the simple text editor.

    P.S. This is a forum for 'political' discussions, that means 'serious' discussions.

  16. I agree with Hariskhan. A complicated editor like the present one distracts our attention from what we are actually trying to say. And, God knows, it's difficult enough as it is to formulate our thoughts. If we have to format them as well, it almost seems to become a task impossible.

  17. @Haris Khan

    You will get used to it ... like the democracy. Give it a chance .. like the democracy.

    Reverting the change option is always on the table i.e.  both the old editor or martial law can be restored, anytime.

  18. Editor is not complicated. Lets bear with the team that is working to remove this bug that makes quotes visible in a post.
    In the mean time typing comments using 'notepad' (MS Office) and then pasting them here (quotes will be removed and wont show) is an option.

    @barackosama: Wrong analogy. There's no difference in the two. In both cases, criminals get to rule over our nation.

  20. @hariskhan

    My emphasis was on used to part, not on the merits of the system or the editor.

    Anyhow, so many formatting options but no spell checker.

    Posted 1 year ago on 24 Sep 2010 22:08 #
  21. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    @barackosama: No problems with a spell checker.

  23. All, Picture insertion works now. However, the editor gives you a false guide as if you can upload a picture. Which is incorrect. A picture, to be inserted in a post, must be on the Internet. You can upload a picture on  public sites such as tinypic.com and then insert it .

  24. @AdminI am now having trouble inserting links. It was working before but now when you put a url in the pop-up, it adds the dreaded double-quote (") at he end...

  26. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    @Admin/@Moderators: Consistency of new opened threads is not ok. If this is not stopped here, you will have many people asking you to 'correct' 'consistency' issues with their threads.

    For example;

    (1) Brits and U.S. diplomats lead UN walkout as Iranian president blame US for 9/11
    (2) Talk of 'revolution' in Pakistan
    (3) etc etc

  30. Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    There is a problem with the youtube plugin for this forum. The text I paste under youtube links is simply .. gone!.

    That is why I'm forced to put up links above the youtube video link on threads.
