Mini Mods - Force Standard Editor for IE10 Users (Editor Workaround) for VB 4.x by BOP5

NO LONGER NECESSARY IN VB 4.2.1 or above.

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

See Post #12 for a different solution, it lets the editor work in IE10

If you are an Admin of a VB4 site with the ckeditor (all versions since 4.1.4 I believe) you probably know that the VB4 editor is not compatible with Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) web browsers.

As IE10 becomes more popular this is a bigger issue for site administrators.

The good news is the "Standard Editor" in VB 4.x does work, it is only the WYSIWYG editor with the problem.

This simple singe plugin mod will force IE10 users, and only IE10 users to the Standard Editor no matter what they have chosen in their settings.

This should prevent complaints from users about the editor not working properly.

We hope this issue will get fixed in a future VB4 version, maybe 4.2.1, maybe later, at that time you can remove this product.

No documentation, no settings, just import the XML file and it is active, disable or remove the product and it stops working.

Installation Instructions:

Log into your Admin CP
Go to Add/Import Product under "Plugins & Products" on the side menu.
Click the "Choose File" button to find the attached product xml file.
Press "Import"
Done.

Sill can't make new lines in IE10- that was the biggest part of the bug IMO.

You sure? I just tested and it worked. ctrl+f5? Those .js files won't reload on their own.

Is this included in 4.2.1 version?

It's weird... the forced refresh made it work on the "New Thread" post but quick reply is stuck in "Standard Editor" mode despite many refreshes and even changing to use the WYSIWYG editor by default in General Settings.

Weirder still is the quick editor doesn't even show the icon allowing me to switch back and forth between Standard and WYSIWYG mode even though it does on the full (new thread) editor screen.

Yeah, I noticed that too - I think it has something to do with the guest posting mod I have installed. Are you logged in?

Yes, I was logged in/registered.

That is what this product does, force the standard editor.

See Post #12 for a different solution, it lets the editor work in IE10

Try the above for a better fix.
