Pereira Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yeah, that's what I mean when I say it could be the issue instead. The new issue would be that it works but not when the insertion point is flashing in the text area. I just tested in Safari and it works the same way there too. I will let you report it if you can reproduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I added the info to the existing ticket, thanks again for the info. Maybe they can compare the two editors, quick reply and full to see where the issue is. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pereira Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 No worries, I added a bit of info myself to see if they can reproduce. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I suspect that a lot of posts will have different font types, weight, size, etc :( Not everyone will click on the remove format button after pasting text onto the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripp★ Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't like the fact that all the fonts are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You can add fonts to the CKEditor pretty easily by just editing a configuration file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted July 27, 2011 Management Share Posted July 27, 2011 You can add custom font faces by editing: public/js/3rd_party/ckeditor/ips_config.js See this page for reference: http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.config.html#.font_names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripp★ Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You can add fonts to the CKEditor pretty easily by just editing a configuration file. Thanks for the pointer. I had a look around for the configuration file. Instead of asking where it was =D In this file: public/js/3rd_party/ckeditor/config.js I replaced: i.font_names='Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;Comic Sans MS/Comic Sans MS, cursive;Courier New/Courier New, Courier, monospace;Georgia/Georgia, serif;Lucida Sans Unicode/Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;Tahoma/Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;Trebuchet MS/Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;Verdana/Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif'; With: i.font_names='Arial/Arial, Book Antiqua, Calibri, Century Gothic, Helvetica, sans-serif;Comic Sans MS/Comic Sans MS, cursive;Courier New/Courier New, Franklin Gothic Medium, Garamond, Courier, monospace;Georgia/Georgia, Impact, Lucida Console, serif;Lucida Sans Unicode/Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, Microsoft Sans Serif, Palatino Linotype, sans-serif;Tahoma/Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;Trebuchet MS/Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;Verdana/Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif'; I restarted my browsers, cleared my cache, and it didn't change anything, any thoughts? Edit: Thanks Matt, you must of posted while I was posting. I found it made the changes. Nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You should not be editing public/js/3rd_party/ckeditor/config.js, you need to edit the file Matt mentioned. If you need assistance with doing this, please post in the Tech Support forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripp★ Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 >_< My mistake! Sorry guys! Clearly I got that very wrong. I will go try the other file. Thank you Michael and Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noles Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 What really turns me off from this thingie is that second I turn richtext off, BBCode buttons stop working. Why? Why I cannot write posts 'ol way? Whats so hard in implementing this that made CKE guys go with "oh, ol' way of writing must go away"? Now I have to make a choice: I use buttons, but way editor text-area works makes browser tricks for text-areas inaccessible anymore (making writing frustrating), or I turn all this mess off and write bbcodes manually because I cant use buttons anymore. Yeah I really wish that I could just turn RTE off, since I personally don't like it at all, without losing everything and having to type it out manually.

TechieGeek Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 In an ideal world, we'd just clean the HTML and store it but as we're still stuck with BBCode we have to convert it to BBCode first then store it. This is where odd line issues creep in. Why are we stuck with BBCode if it only causes problems? I've never understood why "forums" need to use "BBcode". Why not just replace bbcode with HTML? Then just make a tool like the tool that rebuilds posts to take BBcode and convert it to HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because allowing members to insert html is a security risk that most will not take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
