Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Nathan Explosion Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 This is for all those who have complained about this - it's been bugging me as to why this is happening, as source formatting is a default function in a download of ckeditor. I've had a bit of time today to sit down and look at it closely and here's your solution. http://ckeditor.com/addon/htmlwriter Install the 4.4.8 version of the plugin, as the CKEditor version in use on IPS4 at present is the 4.4 code line. The above plugin is included in a default download of CKEditor but is not included in the plugins IPS use by defaults. Good luck
gbstn10 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 If this works, I vote you be moved from the 'Clients' group into the 'Heroes' group alongside Charles and Lindy.
Nathan Explosion Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Awww shucks @Charles - sorry to tag you in here but can you guys look at adding the htmlwriter plugin into CKEditor when you move to using the 4.5.x version please?
Management Charles Posted July 21, 2015 Management Posted July 21, 2015 Yes we can look into that. We're doing lots of editor updates that will be out in the next few weeks.
Nathan Explosion Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 @GabrielS @broniC'moin....how'd it go?
gbstn10 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 @GabrielS @broniC'moin....how'd it go?Just checked now. It's not 100% perfect on a couple of custom bits of code I had in place, but it's way, way, way, way, way, way better than it was before. Very happy.
broni Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 OK guys...some help needed. Instructions: I can't find "ckeditor" directory in my forum FTP.
Nathan Explosion Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Those are the CKEditor specific instructions - ignore them, as IPS4 provides a method to do what is required.Download the addon zip file http://ckeditor.com/addon/htmlwriter (version 4.4.8)ACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Toolbars -> Add ButtonUpload the zip file.
broni Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Aha....thanks It seems to be working well. Thanks again for saving my sanity
Nathan Explosion Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Good to hear (aka bumping this to keep it up and in view for a bit longer hehe)
Lukeroge Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Did you guys use this plugin to enable the source editing option? It doesn't seem to be working for me (yes I used the older version)
broni Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I assume you got Version: 4.4.8, right?What is not working?
Nathan Explosion Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Source editing is in by default, and no additional plugin is required - you need to turn on the "Can post html?" option in the ACP for a group, and that will reveal the button.
querschlaeger Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Source editing is in by default, and no additional plugin is required - you need to turn on the "Can post html?" option in the ACP for a group, and that will reveal the button. Or you can disable JavaScript temporarily. This gives you a plain text area where you can type HTML (no need that an admin allow it). Example of this post (edit):
Nathan Explosion Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Interesting - I'm logging that as a bug as the forum software shouldn't allow html to be posted.
querschlaeger Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I saw your bug report. IMO they will reject it (sadly). It is the way the editor works. The WYSIWYG editor also submits HTML. It just overlay the HTML with a preview of itself.
Nathan Explosion Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I know how it works as I've been using CKEditor for 5 years myself - and in this case, the forum software itself has to come in to play and reject the posted content, or at least strip the tags.
querschlaeger Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Rejecting is a bad way. On my site some users have JavaScript disabled and I don't want to reject all posts of them. strip tags sounds good. But the software has to (correctly) check if the post was send from a JavaScript disabled client. I wonder how IPS will deal with it.
Nathan Explosion Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Note: this is no longer required to be done with IPS 4.1 as it is included by default.
