I notice that here the default formatting choice is set to html rather than text? how do I make that happen?

    i believe it is in the site settings... hold on i'll have a look
  • jonezyjonezy New
    hmmm maybe not... i can't seem to find it.
  • jonezyjonezy New
    oh you change it in your account -> forum preferences
  • jonezyjonezy New
    it would be good though if the admin could change it globally?
  • unipusunipus New
    well apparently that has been done here, because I don't remember ever changing that for myself...

    Maybe I wasn't crazy when I brought this up.

  • unipusunipus New
    nope, you have the opposite issue. so... still crazy. :)

    and anyway now that I think about it, I think I quite probably DID change my user preference, a long time ago. oh well.

    however, my initial question still stands, just on the basis of "I'd like to know".

    The default format type is text just because all other format types are extensions. If you want to change it, you'd have to do it manually in the appg/settings.php file right now.

    A little side note to this: if you want to FORCE your site into a certain single mode, you can add these lines to an extension:
    // the site wide format type $Context->Configuration['DEFAULT_FORMAT_TYPE'] = 'BBCode'; // NOTE: this next line will cause all other formats to be parsed as BBCode, even if they we're written in something else $Context->Configuration['FORMAT_TYPES'] = array('BBCode'); // this should force default all Text/HTML to BBCode // set a default preference to get rid of the selector $Context->Session->User->Preferences['ShowFormatSelector'] = 0;
