Have there been any updates to the editor that make it compatible? :\

[Ken.]

Not for now BlueSS, as you might expect the Holiday Season and real life as we approach the New Year have caused activity and new developments slow considerably.
After the New Year you'll likely see that activity return, but for now patience would be the key. 

[BLueSS]

Alright, thanks for the updates and info.

Checking back in on this. My SMF install & theme is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, however the visual editor keeps screwing with my code and converts it to html 4 transitional code, making the site fail validation no matter what standard I try to match.

Try turning the editor off if you are putting code in directly.

[BLueSS]

Ok, this will work as a temporary fix, but why isn't the editor capable of being xhtml compliant (or replacing the current visual editor with one that is) since the rest of smf is?

[Freddy]

Bloc would need to answer that question as he is most familiar with how he has set up the editor.  Bloc are you there ?

Do you know of an editor that is XHTML compliant? I know of a couple that have touted that title, but I've never seen one that actually can do it 100%. Don't forget you have to comply with licensing too. We can't just include any editor. And we especially don't want to include an editor that is larger than the whole package of TP itself. There are a lot of things involved in choosing an editor. If you have some suggestions, feel free to say so.

Can you not use TinyMCE? http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/using.php  It's "LGPL license, also known as the GNU Lesser General Public License, former GNU Library Public License." and wordpress's default.

Not sure what TP's licensing requires, but there's  http://ckeditor.com/license that's open source for some licenses.

There's wymeditor - free/open-source
http://www.wymeditor.org/

Loki - GPL open-source
https://apps.carleton.edu/opensource/loki/

Not sure what the final license is regarding redistribution, but I found:
XStandard Lite XHTML WYSIWYG Editor - http://www.xstandard.com/en/products/#lite

More here: http://www.cmsreview.com/WYSIWYG/OpenSource/directory.html

Are none of these able to be used?? Or can these be integrated manually with TP?

[IchBin]

TinyMCE has already been used actually. We had a lot of complaints about that editor and problems with it if I recall correctly. Ckeditor if I remember right is about 1.5 times the size of the whole TP mod. Adding that editor adds about 6 or 7 MB's. That IMO is way too much. The current whizzywig editor only adds something like 300k. As for the rest, I've never looked at them. Bloc would have to take a look if he has the time. I do know he spent quite a while deciding on the current one, so I don't think you'll see a change any time soon.
