Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
Hi Maurice Makaay, After experimenting with this module for sometime, I realize that the proposed solution of - //I would in such case write a script that would convert all messages in the database to the required format, right before releasing the new editor. That route is fully fail safe.// - is NOT fail safe, because, every new mail that lands on the phorum (from some email account or so feby Sreenadh OG - v5/v6 Templates
Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
Hi Maurice Makaay, I appreciate this conversation and agree with you. For me this is not a major issue since our forum is just in the beginning stages and there is only a few previous messages, and also because for the existing messages since I know this issue I can avoid 'editing them'.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
This fixed the multiple <br> issue, but again has the disadvantage that - if I am "editing" an already existing post with BBCode in it for the fist time (prior to using 'quote' etc ) then, this code will not run (i.e. BBCode will not get converted to html) and again the whole text along with bbcode will become quashed together (i.e. all line and para breaks lost; and theby Sreenadh OG - v5/v6 Templates

Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
Hi Maurice Makaay, Now I have a new problem (possibly caused by the above fix itself). Now every time I 'Edit' and update a message unnecessory <br> tags are getting inserted into the messages. That means for example if a messages was - hi hi Then after 3-4 edits and saves it will look like hi hi This was not intended/expected to happen. :(by Sreenadh OG - v5/v6 Templates
Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
QuoteMaurice Makaay Try this single file module. It might just work. Simply drop it in your Phorum's mods folder and enable "Prepare editor data as HTML" in the modules screen. Perfect! Thanks!

Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
QuoteMaurice Makaay One approach that could work, is to run Phorum's message formatting on a message that is prepared for a new editing session. That will turn the message data into HTML. That would also convert the code to HTML. If after that the generated HTML code is fed to the editor, things will work, since the data is HTML as expected by that editor.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
QuoteMaurice Makaay No, that is not an option. The stripping is done by first formatting the message into HTML and then stripping the HTML from the resulting message. So all HTML is removed in the end. Yes, one thing I notice is that while quoting the line breaks are getting stripped off, for "previously not-ckeditor formatted text.

QuoteOliver Riesen In my opinion integrating mailing list functionality in Phorum as modules is not scalable. It works for small amounts of posts.

Re: WYSIWYG Editor for Phorum (edit: CKEditor spamvertisement) - 15 years ago
Hi Maurice Makaay, QuoteIt is not a CK editor problem. Normally, the BBcode module takes care of nifty quoting by applying the Quote bbcode to it. Since the bbcode module is not available anymore, the basic text based quoting will be done by the Phorum core. This text based quoting does not contain HTML <br/> line breaks, causing all the lines in the quote to collapse into one, making iby Sreenadh OG - v5/v6 Templates

QuotePhil Connolly So you made a try at deploying phorum in a way to meet your business cases, and it didn't work. This does not label phorum a failure, nor does it label your business cases a failure. (yes, each could ultimately fail, but not because one person decides it doesn't work for them).
