I want a > simple editor. What do you recommend? WordPress has tweaked tinymce a lot to maintain <p> spacing and code snippets and embedded objects. We've tried both at my job with various configurations, both have had issues - but we've had the most success and our users have been happy with WordPress's configuration (which uses a couple custom javascript things + specific tinymce configuration) I've been trying to examine the differences so I can create a reusable standalone component we can use in all our various apps... but WP has hooked in a lot of custom code and it's been a bit annoying trying to split it out into a single reusable javascript file and stuff. Almost done though. I went overboard and tried to make it more generic by renaming and cleaning up the functions to not need any WordPress callbacks and stuff and wound up messing it up, so I have to go back again and probably re-create it from scratch.. Doh :) Honestly in a forum setting you can just give them a bbcode howto/link on the side and let them put in their own bbcode (which can be a strict subset of HTML) - or even just allow HTML tags and limit what they can do. Loading up a javascript-based thing even if it's pretty lightweight is still annoying and I could see that being overkill for a forum. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
