by
23 Nov 2009
I do this as a free service, I am a student however and all donations are welcome. You can click on the Paypal icon to make a donation:  I will add instructions for pulling data when editing a file. This article was done for vB 3.5 and later, I now bring you the article for vB 4.0 in regards to the editor in modifications. Working Versions: Currently 4.1.10 Testing Versions: NONE This tutorial will provide you the proper method for including the WYSIWYG editor in your modifications. I have tested this and it works so following this tutorial will provide a working editor. You are welcome to tweak it to your liking so that you get different output's or vice versa. Lets begin. Step 1. Make sure you have already added the row to your database table. The new row to add is:
You can alter that to be messagearea, message, description, etc and it will work just the same. Step 2. Open your template containing your form. Step 3. Install the provided plugin xml file. Step 3. Add the following lines of code. Now add this in place of your opening form tag (Remember to change your action to your correct file):
Step 4. Add the following to your php file. Open the file you wish to add your editor to (Make sure you have this code in the area where your template containing the editor is to be called):
Then edit your template register and add the following:
Add this line to your php file after you define special templates, global templates, etc:
Add these to your specialtemplates:
Step 5. Save and close your file, upload and test. Make sure you saved your template as well. This is a short article/tutorial and I hope many find it useful. Even though I did not come up with the code or discover the code, I am happy to help others out as I was helped out. Preview provided at attachments.

Instead of adding all these templates to globaltemplates, you could add this:
Even better, use action templates:

I should ask what that does since I have never seen that code before. I'm sure others will question as well. No members have liked this post.

Apparently that error triangle is from subscriptions portion. Might be a bug with vB. I have tried to replicate it and even tried adding new tickets and such, still no error on my end. Sorry I couldn't provide more info than that. I'm actually sitting here scratching my head over it. LOL

Bug? Request for check
I've spent today tearing my hair out in updating the wysiwig editor from vb3.8 to v4.0 in a product I handle. Eventually, I tried reproducing the problem using the code suggested here, and the same problem arose. Basically, when in full WYSIWIG mode, the text entered into the message box is not being returned to the server, unless one first refreshes the page. In standard mode (obtained either by using the control switch in the editor, or by setting the appropriate vb options), everything works fine. This means that the problem cropped up with IE and Firefox but not with Google Chrome or Safari, which always use the standard editor.
For some reason, though, this problem does not seem to crop up in, e.g., the standard VB editpost code. Possibilities are that I've made a mistake (quite possible...), or there's a bug in vb4.0 (I'm testing with RC2), or there's a switch/file that we're overlooking. The attached files are, as far as I can tell, a straight copy of the material posted at the start of this article, within a script that simply keeps re-presenting the form along with a record of the message entered by the user the previous time round. I'd be very grateful if someone can independently test this, and let me know if I'm going crazy or not. The two files are a php script to be loaded into the forum directory, and a template.
