Taking a crack at Markitup for Vanilla 2

Adrian

I have been trying to develop a plugin based on this
http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/examples/
I have hit a road block in trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Has anyone succeeded in getting this to work or maybe is willing to collaborate in making this plugin come true?

This would be a great plugin. Could you explain what isn't working? I haven't ever tried to get that specific editor to work in Vanilla but I might be able to help you if you could explain what isn't working.

Oh, and you would probably want to use the HTML version, because last I checked (I could be wrong) Vanilla doesn't use bbcode, but if you have HTMLawed enabled html works great in Vanilla posts.

Hey Matt,

I have the HTML file in, but I just can't get the plugin to show the toolbar in the post creation or comment. I am sure I am just not calling it right. Probably not the best plugin to cut my teeth on, but I have a forum with users who need the explicit functionality of adding a link and adding an image via html code. That is all I really need. If you are interested in helping I can send you a pm of the files I have worked on. Maybe you can see where I have gone wrong?

Unfortunately, this is my first week(?) with Vanilla :-} (I'm a newbie here), and my PHP knowledge is limited but I can try to help you. If you PM me a link to the files or something I'll take a look at them. Also, you could try basing it off of/looking at @dkobia's TinyMCE plugin:

Cool Matt, I'll send you a note, I tried looking at http://vanillaforums.org/addon/589/tinymce-wysiwyg without success. Maybe you can see where I am going wrong

As I feared, I don't know what's going wrong. But, here are all of the plugins (that I know of for Vanilla 2) that are similar to what your trying to do:
CLEditor WYSIWYG:

jQuery WYSIWYG:
http://vanillaforums.org/addon/549/jquery-wysiwyg
TinyMCE WYSIWYG:
http://vanillaforums.org/addon/589/tinymce-wysiwyg
Maybe if you try comparing your code to these, you can find a solution.

Adrian

@matt531320 I had tried that too, with no success. But I will try again. It's probably one small line of code I missed Thanks for trying.

Adrian

Got it working! Some sweat and tears, but its up
