SMF editor for articles?

[JPDeni]

Is there any possibility of just being able to use the same editor that SMF uses when writing and editing TP html articles and blocks? It's not too big of a problem for me to use a completely plain editor, but once I get things up and running, I'll have folks who aren't as conversant in html as I am and the wysiwyg editors are just annoying. The forum editor with BBCode is a great compromise.

I just saw that TinyMCE was going to be included in the next version. I'm quite familiar with that in WordPress and I don't like it any more than whatever you have now.

yes, I am not the biggest fan of tinymce either - mambo has it as standard, and it used to be the thing I blew away first! (replaced it with extended xhtml wysiwyg editer v3)

I see some editors that are nice -- better than what we have -- but it would really be great to have consistency with the SMF editor.

Is that something I could do myself? I'm not afraid to play around with code a bit, but I'm not sure whether this would be even possible.

In the next release you will have 3 diffrent editors to play with.
2 implanted and one add on editor as a mod for TP

Bloc have tried several diffrent editors, and the ones he have builded in is what worked best with TP and still be a "light" package mod for SMF
He surly could use other editors, but if he had gone with those others, the package would have been to heavy and heavy loaded so it was not worth it nor what he aims for in the end

I don't think there are any plans to implement the set up that SMF uses for its compose / reply screen.

I don't know if Bloc is against the idea or not, though. You'll just have to see what he says.

But, as G6 said, you will have more editors in the upcoming .9.5, including FCKeditor and WhizzyWig.

fck is good! I dont know whizzywig at all.... but at least there will be an alternative to tinymce

[JPDeni]

I just took a look at FCKeditor and it doesn't look too bad. It's gotta be better than WhizzyWig.

I'd still like to have the consistency of the same editor throughout, though, so maybe I'll see what I can tweak for myself. I certainly wouldn't want yet another editor added to the package.

I have been considering adding the SMFeditor, but since it supposed to only work with bbc codes, it will not be any use on javascript/html blocks, only on normal html/bbc boxes. But there too, the output put can be a mix of html and bbc codes lol.

Whats needed is a pure bbc codes blocktype I imagine.
