Logician I totally agree. I was asking and asking for it and so were others.
Kier said it was not a difficult thing / would be an easy mod. Nor did he rule out adding it to the core XF. But a) it would interfere with the template syntax (I thin k that's what he said, meaning the bits of code like conditionals you can add in?) and b) it wasn't on the priority list.

I too made the point that we were using a WYSWYG editor whenever we wrote a forum post so this was much the same thing. I saw others saying this. I guess the only bit that fits this point is the one about code conflict? <shrug>

To me this is a major flaw. For one thing the modding community at XF is enthusiastic but not very developed. There are few mods of any substance. (Possibly because XF is designed on unfamiliar lines.) But I was trailing for a WYSWYG editor in my signature on daily posts for weeks with no response. So it's all a definitely later later situation.

Quite a few admins were very sniffy about it all - one even said you shouldn't be an admin if you can't code htrml !!!!
But although I can do it, it's a pain in the backside and much slower to log into admin, find the section, and code the page, instead of clicking on the page with usergroup access and just updating some info.
Also it means I can't delegate to my mods - forum mods need many social skills and it's a rare bird that has both these and html.

So finally I find the XFPages a lovely starter but pretty well unusable except in a small scale way - a FAQ or forum rules, or a handful of pages.
Whereas with WYSWYG on the frontend like your Templates we have a highly controllable cms - I use the VBSide Columns mod as well.

Thank you again and again for your excellent excellent mod. A real classic.

Quick question Logician ;)

I have the following 4 tables in my db, I assume these are from when I had your old web template system installed, would it be safe to delete these tables or are they still used with this version?

wt35_query 7.5 KB 2.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_theme 10.1 KB 2.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_visitlog 288 Bytes 3.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_webtemplate 1.35 MB 3.0 KB 0 Yes

These are part of webtemplates 3.7 version (and you are now in ITS thread). If you mean you upgraded to 4.x version, then yes they can be dropped as mentioned in the "UPGRADE FROM VERSION 3.x.TXT" file of WT 4.x version.

Thanks. :)

p.s. I'm still on vb 3.8, so if you add any updates to the 4.x version, don't forget about us mortals further down the food chain. ;)

Thanks for the awesome hack :up:

If you are on vb 3.8, then please do not remove these tables. 3.7/3.8 versions use same (these) tables. They are only obselete in 4.x version.

Actually for now, 4.x users are mortals down the food chain because I myself is also using 3.5.x version. ;)

Cool, thanks. :)

Good to hear :up::up::up:

For some of my forums it would be great if I could set a redirect so after a reply the user goes to a specific page.
I just want this on selected forums. If anyone can help please let me know.

yes i installed this mod today exactly the way it tells u in the install instructions and now i got some kinda error saying:
