This new Text Editor

[gel]

Also the dropdown smilies box better only show the favorite smilies only, not all.

[Matt]

I've updated the editor.

You'll notice a button at the bottom right called "Toggle Side Panel". Click it.

[Matt]

You'll also notice that it'll stay open once you've clicked it.

There's a flag in the skin HTML that allows you to have the panel opened for everyone until they click the "Toggle" button.

Ooooh that kicks so much ass. :wub:

It's displaying funny in FF but that will be perfect. The smilies are sitting over the links. Do you need a screen shot?

Side panel toggle doesn't work in FF 2 and lupin84 is right about the overlay when it does work..

Here is how it looks in IE7 RC1 for me:



Note the larger spacing between the 2nd and 3rd columns of emoticons as opposed to the 1st and 2nd rows. That's about the only bug that I see so far.

And this is me in FF 1.5 on Mac OSX:

Make sure you do delete your cache - the CSS has changed.

[JohnJH]

That fixed it :)

[FrostedPopTart]

Removed my cache and the difference between rows 2 and 3 is still there. Not that big of a deal though, I'm not that bothered by it. :)

[robirming]

Ah...looks wonderful! A perfect solution to the previous RTE complaints in my opinion. :)

[shakerz]

The side panel looks great :thumbsup: I can't wait to upgrade my own board with this :D

[lupin84]

The emoticon overlay is still there for me. :ermm:

[Buddy Kidd]

The side panel option is GREAT!!! Thank you so much. :thumbsup:

[robirming]

Would it be possible to make an ACP option where you could choose which toggle mode should be the default one?

The only thing I still haven't got used to with the new editor is the strange look of Topic Title, Topic Description, Poll Options, Post Options & Post Icons being pushed to the right. It looks kind of ok with the side panel open, but very strange when it's not open. I hope this could be looked into to try to give it a nicer layout.
Apart from that, great! :)

:charles: I kinda like the new text editor.

[lupin84]

I'd noticed that too Korak. I think there must be a better way to organise Post Options and Post Icons but I'm not sure what it is.

Also the "BB Code Help" button drops onto a second line, would look better one one (not important but just an observation.

great

! :)

I agree.

Can you make the smilies in side panel show as before. no need to scroll down?

[Charles]

I agree. Can we make the smilies in side panel show as before. no need to scroll down?

Click "Toggle Side Panel" :)

[gel]

Click "Toggle Side Panel" :)

I did. but it won't show all smilies on the side panel unless you scroll down. I didn't mean the drop down box.

[Matt]

It looks ugly when you have more than the default emoticons enabled - it stretches the sidepanel way beyond the text editor area and leaves a huge blank space between the text editor and the attachments box.

I've added in a setting to allow admins to specify that the side panel is open by default. I've also make it so the side-panel facility is removed when using the RTE in PMs, ACP, etc for space reasons.

Matt your a genius this is perfect thanks so much! :thumbsup:

I love the new RTE. (w00t) Not fussed on the side panel so I won't be using it, although I could see my members complaining if the option wasn't there, nonetheless it looks stunning.

[UBERHOST.NET]

The "Toggle Side Panel" is way cool. :thumbsup:

Overall, the new editor stomps all over the competition (the Brand 'X' editor look like a toy by comparison). It is clean, professional, extensible, and has the best usability factor yet.
