Need some vB4 WYSIWYG testers soon, who wants to help?

[Dave]

I've been working on implementing the latest CKEditor version into vBulletin 4 and need some testers in about 2-3 weeks to test functionality. If you want to help testing then please post in this thread and I'll send you a private message whenever a test version is ready.

I have to implement a couple more things: custom BBCode functionality, server interaction when switching between source/WYSIWYG and vBulletin's plugins (such as smileys, attachment, etc.)

Most of it will be a matter of porting over the existing code to work with CKEditor 4.

PM me when it's ready for testing.

[Mark.B]

I'll gladly test this....I think this will be popular if it can be made to work.

[Bill Stuntz]

Count me in. The WYSINotReallyWYG editor drives me NUTS. I'm tired of having to "Go Advanced" & "Preview Post" to see what it's REALLY going to look like. Will it be possible to flow texthttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=155486&stc=1&d=1479353376 around photos instead of leaving big white spaces like this? And get rid of the pointless thumbnail box when the photo is already visible in the post? And the thumbnail of a larger photo that I uploaded, but didn't actually USE in the post?

I'd love to test.

[CAG CheechDogg]

I will definitely text too ...

[RichieBoy67]

Let me know. I am all over it.

[Stratis]

My honor to test to.


vb4.2.3 (test forum) I have 4-6 guys from my team that are always testing modifications before we put it to live forum. :)

[Paul M]

So you are planning to release some sort of update ?

[Dave]

Great to see people are willing to test it. :)

So you are planning to release some sort of update ?

So far I've managed to stick to hooks that doesn't require vBulletin its files to be overwritten.

[Lynne]

Wow, Dave, that's great!

I don't have a live vB4 site, but I am more than willing to try it out on one of my vB4 test sites. Let us know what version vB4 you want it tested on and what version PHP/MySQL etc.

[MarkFL]

Sounds like a project many will appreciate! :up:

I have access to vB 4.2.1-4.2.3 and will be willing to test on them.

Interesting.

If you find you need a hook somewhere it doesnt exist, do ask and I'll see what can be done.
I can still look at hook requests in 4.2.5, maybe even 4.2.4, while they are still not final releases.

[scottkoz20]

i am willing to test this (and also give you access if you want it) to by dev environment

[kylek]

Have 4.2.4 RC 1 running on a couple of sites and also a test site so would love to test this out if possible,

[Dave]

Made quite some progress on this but it's not ready for testing yet, but shouldn't take much longer.
Glad to see a lot of people are willing to test this. :)

Not sure about that, it's more of a BBCode issue than it being a problem with the WYSIWYG editor.
Since you don't really want people posting HTML code, you'd have to somehow implement BBCode that makes that kind of thing possible.

[Dave]

Just an update: a little bit busy this week but I definitely expect to have a test version ready around Christmas.

Excellent. I expect to have some time off around Christmas. :D

[z3r0]

Hi Dave,

I just wondered if you had made any progress with this?

[Dave]

Yes, currently working on migrating the vBulletin plugins and making the WYSIWYG editor work with vBulletin's libraries.

[z3r0]

Excellent, I'm looking forward to trying it out :)

fwiw flow text should be able to be accomplished by using tables(works for vb5)....its not the most elegant solution but it kinda works...for example, 2 column, 1 row...image in one, text in the other

[Rhodium]

I wanna help too when it's ready ;)

Cool Dave, I like this.

We should have more people like Dave in vB team :D

I would give it a check when you done.


Cheers,

[z3r0]

Dave, have you manged to make any more progress on this?

[Dave]

Dave, have you manged to make any more progress on this?

I have, unfortunately I do not have any time at the moment to make a public testing version. I'd say a couple more days are left of working on it but that does not include fixing any bugs and making sure it works across all browsers.

All in all, quite some work is left to do.

[z3r0]

That's a shame, I've really been looking forward to seeing this :(

[Bill Stuntz]

Me too.

[Kane@airrifle]

This is no trivial task. Bon chance Dave.

[IggyP]

curious what ended up happening here.....it is still a much needed improve for many..

[Mike-D]

Would love to see how Dave is interested to make it public. Probably he gave up. Very sad to see that :(

[Meister2017]

That would be a pity. Someone has also worked on CKEditor 5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2599532&postcount=9) here. But until now there is only this screenshot.

[Dave]

Yea it was a crazy amount of work because of how much vBulletin embedded into CKEditor. You have the image/attachment uploader/editor and all these other vBulletin add-ons that are part of CKEditor.

Along with that all plugins that implement CKEditor add-ons will break because it's not compatible with newer CKEditor versions.

[Meister2017]

Hello Dave,

why don't you publish your work so that others can make the necessary adjustments to the plugins:)?

[Mike-D]

Hello Dave,

why don't you publish your work so that others can make the necessary adjustments to the plugins:)?That would be a great idea :up: Eight years ago I started a Request (https://ckeditor.com/old/forums/CKEditor-3.x/Integrating-vBulletin) in the CK Editor Forum but I never got a response. So I left a bad comment because of my frustrated disappointment :(

IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT TO FIND SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO HELP TO GET MORE OPTIONS OF CKEDITOR IN USING VBULLETIN ;)

[kevius]

+1 great idear !

[Dave]

Hello Dave,

why don't you publish your work so that others can make the necessary adjustments to the plugins:)?

Unfortunately it's in a backup file somewhere on my backup drive and I also made edits all over the place so I'd also have to figure out where all the changes are that I've made. At the moment I don't have the time for that but maybe later this year I can look into it.

[Mike-D]

Any news, Dave?
