Rimi Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Which features specifically would you like to see?Tables, anchors, and floating. At least the tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted August 21, 2012 Management Share Posted August 21, 2012 The problem with complex HTML is that we'd still need BBCode counterparts. Basic tables are fine, but there's no real way to convert something complex like: <table style='width:95%'> <tr> <td style='width:10%'>...</td> </tr> </table> Into BBcode without losing the inline style information. If we remove BBCode from the public interface, it'll be possible to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkerrood Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Tables would be great... I'm having an issue correctly displaying the terms and conditions of usage & privacy policy for my site, wich are basically in the form: 1. [tab] [title] 1.1 [tab] [paragraph] 1.2 [tab] [paragraph] etc. This would be much easier if tables could be used in the editor, so +1 for using tables.

Can you not ignore me please? now that we are in alpha, I grow increasingly concerned that anyone can post basically anything without regards to area or groups with merely the correct manual input. Is your lack of any direct answer to this security and spam issue a sign, or does control remain here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 22, 2012 Management Share Posted October 22, 2012 Marcher, I wasn't ignoring you. Someone else raised this point via the bug tracker and I had fixed it. Apologies for not updating you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jυra Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I want a basic editor with half the junk and control over what buttons show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I want a basic editor with half the junk and control over what buttons show. ....That is actually I think what the totally of 3.4 changes means. Disabling x means that it will both not be shown as an option in editor, *and* will not parse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This thread confuses me a little concerning the function to post tables. Is this function available nowadays? (3.4) My vbulletin big board has many instances of tables in posts. Its a very popular way to present information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 totality* typo’s FML, edit time passed. :P From what has been said here, and marked as fixed in the tracker, we will have the same(more even) control of the editor interface as we had in 3.1. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3.4) My vbulletin big board has many instances of tables in posts. Its a very popular way to present information. :) No tables in 3.4. Matt seems to not want to approach supporting tables until he can fully move away from bbcode. I think the idea is innovative, but as always I'm a bit reluctant to change. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I guess it won't allow for an admin to add a spoiler button, but close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh you could add your own button if you decided to try and tackle the ckeditor config and learn it. I managed to successfully add a latex ckeditor plugin. Naturally, the whole bbcode thing broke it down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksbane0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 So if BBCode is being phased out what happens to custom BBCode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 23, 2012 Management Share Posted October 23, 2012 Custom tags will always be an option, but really something like: [mytag option="value]Text[/mytag] Could just as easily be expressed as: <mytag option="value">text</mytag> Especially if you use the button on the editor's toolbar.

Ocean West Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Will the editor ever support tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 23, 2012 Management Share Posted October 23, 2012 Will the editor ever support tables? Yes, I'd like it to. But right now we have to fall back to BBCode when switching editing modes, which means introducing new table, tr and td tags. I'd rather wait until 4.0 and look at dropping BBCode as we know it which will free up what we can do with the RTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was exactly why the 'tag' never bothered me.... tis just string operations. at such time the editor is able to *actually* insert, for example, <quote name="Matt" post="2323784" time="1350979730">some text</quote> And one is just 'describing' the difference between the html 'tag' inserted and the html to be stored, buttons in STD mode become quite feasible, and everything becomes more consistent/manageable rather than being 'in the middle'.

Rimi Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Are you willing to share this tip? :) Nope. In the end I could only get the latex to display after posting. If you quoted the post with the latex or edited it then it broke. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
