appearance like a WYSIWYG editor
05:12:29 AM, Jul 31, 2009[ ip logged ]
There are forums (or at least one forum) out there that have a BBcode interface that looks like a WYSIWYG editor. When you click on the 'B' icon, it inserts the 'bold' BBCode tag and so forth. I think it would give CrispBB a nice appearance.

....on that note, not sure if it's possible, but it would be neat if there's some code that would parse through the body text and render the BBcode just like how a WYSIWYG editor would....

BBCode has it's own interface. You can over-ride that yourself, in your theme. I can't provide those over-rides as part of crispBB, they simply won't work. So, if you want a slick WYSIWYG looking UI for BBCode it's a case of doing it yourself. (post an FR at bugzilla if you like, maybe someone will pick it up and refine the current UI - I might, one day, but it's not high on my list)

No idea what you mean by 'some code that would parse through the body text and render the BBCode like WYSIWYG editor would'? Gonna have to expand on that.

Actually, now that I think about it, the BBcode templates I used for my forum were in the BBcode module and not xarbb.

The last part is just so the bbcode looks like a wysiwyg editor. When you have bold text, the text shows as bold. But in stead of HTML, it's using BBcode. I guess that'd be a part of the BBcode module?

It's not a WYSIWYG editor, but I added markitUp! and the BBCode set for it to the BBCode module in use here on site (I'm evaluating and experimenting atm). I think you'll all agree that it's a lot better than the current BBCode buttons :) (click new reply or new topic to see)

It's back! New module (nbbc - Aruba 1.2+ only) :D

Demo at http://www.crispbb.com/nbbc/test

Module handles both bbcode and smileys, replaces those module entirely. Still testing atm, couple of bugs to iron out in the parser, once those are resolved I'll make it available for download.

In the meantime, it's installed here, and crispBB has been updated to make use of it (this site is now running Aruba 1.2.0) so feel free to play around.

Very nice, any change for user/admin setting to turn the BBCode Editor off? Something where a user can goto there profile and turn it off?

Not that anyone would want to turn it off :P 3:)

Not as a user option, but it's there as an admin option, per module/itemtype it's hooked to (surprised you didn't take a look at the backend on site :O :D )

True that, but I did add the option anyway, just in case :P

I noticed under the more BBcodes there's an entry "You" -- is this supposed to be Youtube?

The you tag allows you to address the current user viewing your text, by name. It's a wrapper for xarUserGetVar('name'), which itself returns name of the current logged in user. (included for legacy purposes since it's a tag of the old BBCode module ;) )
