BBcode for WYSWYG

[Princeton]

I got a [TABLE] bbcode working and I would like to have this work on the wysiwyg. My question is which files would I have to modify to get this to work (similar to the [B], [CENTER], [URL], etc, etc bbcodes that currently work with the wysiwyg).

I know I'll probably won't get much help on this but I thought I'd post here before posting @ vbulletin.com.

thank you

i dont see why it wouldnt work on the wysiwyg

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough ...
The bbcode [TABLE] does work if I insert [TABLE] directly into wysiwyg; but, that is not what I am asking. I want the [TABLE] bbcode to render similar to the bold, italic, indent, etc, etc. tags ... I want it to be a true wysiwyg.

if you did the BBcode correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work...

type something in the quickreply (wysiwyg) ... highlight the text and click B; this will convert all text to bold lettering (what you see is what you get)

now, highlight the text and click ... you will see that it wraps the text with [quote.] tags. This is not what I want.

I would like the [TABLE] bbcode to work similar to the B button.

Have you added a button for it in the BB Code Manager?

the button will just wrap the text with the bbcode ... this is not what I want.
I want it to actually build the table (visually).

To make this work, I need to modify a few files. I was hoping that somebody would know which files to edit.

I do know that most of the work is done via client-side before sending it to the database (at least the Midas (gecko) version does) ... I think.

When you use bold within the wysiwyg, the editor saves this as [b]bold[/b]. I would like to enable the wysiwyg editor to do the same with the [table] bbcode.

PS. The table tag can have multiple rows and/ or columns.

From what I understand, I don't use or even have WYSIWYG enabled on any of my sites, is that the text thats formated in the text area is all HTML, ie pressing B generates <b>text</b> in the editor and then convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode() is run when submitting the post (the function is in functions_wysiwyg.php) to convert the HTML to BB Code as the name suggests.

This is all just am assumption though, but gives you somewhere to look at least

Edited to add: Also take alook at the JS file for the WYSIWYG editor, that probably performs all the client side processing.

ahhh .... that's a good place to start. thank you
