Conversation Text Box Formating

Vanilla Version 2.0.18.9

Hey Guys,

Can I add a rich text toolbar on conversations text box? I am using WYSIWYG (CLEditor) for discussions and comments but that is not enabled on conversations.

The tinyMCEfour plugin works for all the forms.

there are too many options in that text editor....not that i wouldn't like that.

ok, you can remove the options you do not want, but you can also in theory add the forms you want cleditor to work on

in the plugin php file look for this , it is what adds the editor to the forms and add the ones you want,

replace

jQuery("#Form_Body")

with this to include all the forms you want cleditor on

jQuery('#Form_Body,body.Profile #Form_Comment,body.Activity #Form_Comment,#Form_ConversationMessage')

Inside this block

    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
            // Make sure the removal of autogrow does not break anything
            jQuery.fn.autogrow = function(o) { return; }
            // Attach the editor to comment boxes
            jQuery("#Form_Body").livequery(function() {
                var frm = $(this).parents("div.CommentForm");
                ed = jQuery(this).cleditor({width:"100%", height:"100%"})[0];
                this.editor = ed; // Support other plugins!
                jQuery(frm).bind("clearCommentForm", {editor:ed}, function(e) {
                    frm.find("textarea").hide();
                    e.data.editor.clear();
                });
            });
        });
    </script>

Have not tested this, it is theoretical .

Here is a link to a patch I made for 2.1b1. Not sure if it will work for 2.0, but I can't test it right now.

@hgtonight Is the new Form method for doing textboxes with formatting included not in 2.1 at all, or is it just not used in Conversations?

hgtonight

In 2.1b2:

The Gdn_Form::BodyBox method seems to be in use in Conversations. ButtonBar and Emotify don't seem to handle the BeforeBodyBox event though.

That would definitely be a cleaner implementation

I also came up with how to add cleditor to other forms in 2.1

It does not work in 2.0 I tried it.
