Hi.

I've just bought myself an iPad.

When I come to reply to a topic, I've found the reply editor does not have the same functionality as usual.

For instance the grey area above the text input box that contains the font options and smileys etc, is not there at all and doesn't appear when you click in the text area to type a reply.

Is this a board setting problem or does the problem lie with apple as I've heard the problem exists on iPhone aswell????

Thanks.

Although the latest iOS release does have contentEditable functionality, in practise it just makes the editor very slow and difficult to use. For example, it's not easy to select text and tap a button without deselecting the text. Furthermore, if you're trying to style the top line of text by selecting it, the black 'bubble' covers the line of buttons so you can't get to them.

I think I miss the smileys more than anything else. They are useful for adding an emotion to text to let someone know your joking etc.

Yes its a shame and frustration that the iPad doesn't have this functionality still... lets hope so soon.

Each other day the traffic level we see within iPad or other tabs are increasing more and more. In 6 months , we can all asume that tablet users will overcome PC users. Ignoring tablets is a huge mistake. IPB shall focus and improve their tablet compatibility asap.

Wasn't the iPad editor with smilies enabled during the 3.4 beta cycle on the IPS forum? I seem to recall I saw it and was really happy that this functionality was included..

If you write the emoticon code into the editor the emoticon will show.

I don't disagree. But although CKEditor 3.4 can support an iPad as editable it is a very poor experience which even on my iPad 4 is buggy, slow and difficult to use.

CKEditor 4.0 improves this dramatically so we'll make use of that in IPS 4.0.

How?

I don't suppose you've looked into the possibility of allowing developers to make use of the CKEditor themes & plugins system? I remember having a look at doing this for IPB3 but had some trouble and/or was not possible. I think it would be really neat :)

Yes 4.0 uses both of those :)

Awesome, looking forward to it.

So at present it is not possible to use the editor in Ipad or Android tablets?

(Just came across this issue)

Thanks, Marten

Not possible, no.

Thanks.
