Replacing default WYSIWYG
 

Has anybody had any experience trying to replace the default VB editor work something like TinyMCE?

I gave it a shot this afternoon and had some mixed results. Putting the javascript in the header worked to initiate the editor, however formatting is partly lost due to TinyMCE outputting HTML. The BBCODE plugin helps some but I lose line breaks.

I also lose any interaction from the original window, including the capability to use Smilies.

So has anybody had any success with replacing the default editor?

vBulletin Solutions is having a heck of a time trying to get CKEditor to work in VB4... They keep pushing it back (it's going to be part of vBulletin 4) - its taking months longer than they expected. So if the team of developers working on vBulletin as their job are having issues, it's not something I'd try working on in my spare time.

But good luck. ;)

Have not had much luck so far. Getting the windows to show is fine but you end up losing any external additional such as custom BB code and smilies. You also lose a ton of formatting unless you set the forum to allow HTML posting.

I think that unless I can alter the output of TinyMCE to pass what VB is looking for I am a bit out of luck. A shame...I am really missing my advanced editor in Chrome.
