Yeah, you can add plugins to the editor as if it was a regular installation.

bbcode isn't a standard, so vanilla bbcode may not be CKEditor

if you are using a WYSIWYG, using bbcode is kind of pointless.

The problem is when you already have a forum for a few years and use the bbcode by users initiative , I try to change to html but publications made with bbcode but this appear disorganized... So I'm bound to bbcode and good if I find a more comfortable way that users write their publications especially for the choice of font size and color, welcome be the bbcode in CKEditor

I tried to download this and upload it to my plugins section, but I don't see it available as a plugin... forgive me for being brand new to vanilla -- I'm sure I'm doing something wrong! how did you get this to work?
I'm moving my forum over from phpbb, so I would at least like former bbcode to view correctly from old posts.

its probably there if you loaded it correctly.

it is what I consider one of those misnamed plugins - the folder name does not match the description or even begin with part of the name.

I really find it very difficult to find plugins when the name doesn't match

look under Vanilla Ckeditor.

I know, but when I change in the config file

$Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'BBCode';

To html or markdown, all the old post appear as if I did not acknowledge the BBCode

I just changed directly in the the Format column to BBCode and the Body to [b]test[/b] of a comment and discussion it worked first time.

I wonder what you have in the Format Column of the old posts. Don't change anything just check.

I went back to switch to Html, make a backup of the database, delete it and restore the backup, and now works
