What I meant was, I took out the option to set the editor when you log on as a new user and regsiter. There is no way to check which browser they are using in the registeradult template so why have an option in there to turn something on that they will never see anyway if they don't use IE?

I took out the code for setting the option for the editor in my registeradult template and put this code in it instead like you instructed.

What do you mean with "took out"? You have to add the code not to replace!?

I added this in registeradult:

right after the vBcode section </tr>

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{ secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Use the WYSIWYG interface on your message input screens?</b></normalfont><br>
	<smallfont>Enabling this option allows you to quickly manipulate different aspects of your posts including color, font, and size using an Microsoft Word-like interface.
	In addition you can click on smilies to have them inserted into your posts.
	You may disable this option if it causes problems for you.</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{ secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="enablewysiwyg" value="yes" checked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="enablewysiwyg" value="no"> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

This way on registration the user can choose to enable or disable this.

Also, remove the space from { secondaltcolor}.

Yes, but if you give them the option to turn it on or off in there and their browser won't support it, then won't that confuse them even more when it won't show up for them if they don't have the right browser?

[Erwin]

Well, if their browser won't support it, it won't show up. I amended the description to say "Only supported by IE 5.5 or higher".

[Boofo]

Erwin,

Ok, I went ahead and put it in the registeradult template, but I changed it to have the "no" checked by default instead of yes. Do I need to put it in the regsitercoppa, too? And do I need to still have the below code in the registeradult template if I have the code you suggested in there?

<input type="hidden" name="enablewysiwyg" value="no">

Well, of course it checks which browser they are using, because you have the code for that in global.php!!
But it is not shown even if they use IE because the code i mentioned turn it off by default. I use that because i have literegistration installed, where the user only have to fill in username ,email and password., nothing else.

If the user want to use it and use IE he can turn it on in his options , otherwise he won't even see this option!

Hi Erwin,

why don't you use my change with $wysiwyg_option ??
If you do it like you did, the option will be also seen by users that don't use IE??!!

[Erwin]

No, because I have installed Walstreat's addon too - so even if Netscape users switch it on, they won't see it as only IE 5.5 or higher users see the WYSIWYG interface.

It works fine on my site so far.

[Boofo]

I know that this was probably already discussed in here, but can it be made to work in private messages, too?

[eiSecure]

Yes, you just need to extend the templates to the private message templates too.

We will try to provide private message support in our next update, for those who don't want to mess with their templates.
