Can the full editor be used to edit comments?

MasterOne

When editing a comment, it's a simple text box without Button Bar, Emotify and FileUpload.

Is it possible to use the full editor used when leaving a comment or creating a new discussion for editing comments as well?

Which version of Vanilla are you running?

2.1b1 (but afaik it was the same behavior with 2.0.18.8)

On 2.1b1, I get the full editor (ButtonBar + FileUpload) on a new discussion. I get the "complete" editor on new comment forms (ButtonBar + FileUpload + Emotify).

Emotify will require an easy change to get put on to the new discussion page. /plugins/Emotify/js/emotify.js line 100:

emotify($('.CommentForm .TextBox'));
  to
emotify($('.CommentForm .TextBox, .DiscussionForm .TextBox'));

To get FileUpload and ButtonBar loaded on the edit comment form will require a little more work. You will have to make an override for the editcomment override. Create an empty file at /themes/YourEnabledTheme/views/post/editcomment.php and paste the following: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QYyexH3S.

I just took the original editcomment.php from /applications/vanilla/views/post and added the two events that FileUpload and ButtonBar rely on. I figured this out by inspecting the event handlers in fileupload and buttonbar.

I tested this out on a 2.1b1 install.

Can I just say what a boon you are to this community.

I learn something almost every time you post a reply.

Bravo! Magnifico!

This seems pretty simple. Is there anything similar for 2.0.18.8?

hgtonight

@tom762 FileUpload, Emotify, and ButtonBar work out of the box on my fresh 2.0.18.8 install on New Discussion, New Comment, Edit Comment, and Edit Discussion.

Sorry, what I was thinking was getting FileUpload, Emotify, and ButtonBar to message sending form.

That's exactly what I am looking for in this discussion, but I had no time to further investigate. Maybe I should just try with Wysihtml5, but my forum users already are accustomed to the default editor with ButtonBar + Markdown + Emotivy + FileUpload.

make a new discussion if you asking a different question.

There is already a new discussion for that matter mystically cloaked under the "this" before "discussion", which is a link to http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/23837/markdown-attachments-emoticons-in-messages-and-activity

BTW The color for links in this forum is not set up optimally, maybe I shouldn't use links that way.

This is a constant source of pain for me.

I like pretty links but feel they don't contrast enough with the body text.
