VB4 Post Editor, is there an update or mod?

[BlackxRam]

Is there an update to the VB4 wysiwyg editor or possibly a mod that gives it better functionality?

[In Omnibus]

There are no updates of any kind for vB4. Development on it stopped quite some time ago.

The CKEditor is open source but vBulletin always uses a customization of it so you can't simply replace the existing one with the newest version. It would require substantial coding.

[Meister2017]

There is a manual in German for an update to 3.6.6.2. If necessary, use Google Translate.

Beim CkEditor gab es viele und auch einige Wichtige Updates:
https://svn.ckeditor.com/CKEditor/trunk/CHANGES.html

vBulletin 4.2.5 hat standardm??ig CkEditor 3.2

Diese ?nderungen wurden getestet mit:
PHP 7.2.4 u. 7.2.3
PHP 7.0.22
Unter PHP 7.1 m?sste es also auch funktionieren.

CkEditor 3.6.6.2 runterladen: https://download.cksource.com/CKEdit...or_3.6.6.2.zip

}
} 


und vor Zeile 7319

PHP Code:

Did you write that yourself or is there a source article that you can attribute that to?

[scottkoz20]

looks like there is something here - https://forum.vbdev.de/showthread.ph...or-3-2-3-6-6-2 (in german - translated to English)

however, something I will call out immediately is the following

vBulletin 4.2.5 defaults to CkEditor 3.2

These changes have been tested with:
PHP 7.2.4 u. 7.2.3
PHP 7.0.22
It should work under PHP 7.1.


I'm running php 5.6.40 on my vB4.2.5 site. Not sure how many vB4 sites are using php7.1+ at this point.

[Meister2017]

These changes are from "kleinerzwerg" and also work under php 5.6. I recommend to use at least php 7.0 because the board runs a lot faster.

I agree with this, and that is why I didn't update vB editor while I really wanted to do that.

Has anybody tried this yet?

[CodeStache]

We have sucessfully integrated CKEditor 5 into vBulletin 3 & 4 and it's currently the editor we use in our development area. Since vBulletin default's CKEditor is deeply embedded, we're still working to make the new editor as less modification as possible.

It supports all features of vBulletin, smoother, mobile compatible and of course looks better.

Here is how it looks like:

That looks great, will you be releasing it?
