What issues are you having? No issues with my WYSIWYG Editor using chrome.

No issues, me too!

The solution is to disable your browser extensions. One of them is causing the problem.

No, that is not a reasonable "solution". There was a similar issue with the editor after enabling SSL on VB4. We've found a fix for it in vbulletin 4 though.

Where did the OP say anything about this issue being caused by SSL?

In order to determine the solution one has to first determine the cause of the problem, n'est-ce pas ?

Others have indicated they are unable to reproduce the problem, which, one would think would have been reproduced and reproducible if the cause were SSL.

VB3.8.x doesn't support WYSIWYG in Chrome out of the box, what are you guys doing to enable it?

I just double checked. Nothing special, it work without issues on my cPanel/https with a commodo certificate.

The things you describe have nothing to do with the editor, which would have needed an addon or core file edits as vb3.8.x does not support WYSIWYG in Chrome, I think you may be confusing that the advanced editor shows but it does not have the WYSIWYG functionality that you would get in IE or FF.

Sorry, English is not my first language, I probably misunderstood your point but one thing is sure, I have no problem with the normal use of Chrome.

I've just had a quick look at the code and it looks like the bit that detects which browsers can use WYSIWYG is in includes/functions_editor.php starting line 165 (vb3.8.11 files)

if ($choice == 2) // attempting to use WYSIWYG, check that we really can
{
if (!is_browser('opera') OR is_browser('opera', '9.0'))
{
// Check Mozilla Browsers
if (is_browser('firebird', '0.6.1') OR is_browser('camino', '0.9') OR (is_browser('mozilla', '20030312') AND !is_browser('firebird') AND !is_browser('camino')))
{
return 2;
}
else if (is_browser('ie', '5.5') AND !is_browser('mac'))
{
return 2;
}
else if (false AND is_browser('opera', '9.0'))
{
return 2;
}
else
{
return 1;
}
}
else
{
// browser is incompatible - return standard toolbar
return 1;
}
}
else
{
// return standard or no toolbar
return $choice;
}

On line 180 I tested changing "return 1;" to "return 2;" this allowed Chrome (and I would assume all other browsers) to use WYSIWYG mode, however, I didn't check anything other than basic functionality so couldn't say how compatible Chrome is in that mode.

Thank you very much ! :up:

I do not think much about vbulletin right now.

I will test your code later and give you a feedback.

Check Chrome extensions that you installed for your Chrome
This can affect and made your WYSIWYG Editor not work.
