Thread Editing (Images not converting back to [img]code)

[LA-Aquarium]

I do not like this, while editing the images you have posted via [img] code will remain in view even while editing a post, how can i make it so that i see the [img] code rather than the picture itself in the editing view. pleas help.

You can toggle the editor mode using this button:

great, is there a way to make that the default editing mode?

open js file

./clientscript/ckeditor/plugins/editingblock/plugin.js

Find:

CKEDITOR.config.startupMode = 'wysiwyg';

Replace with:

CKEDITOR.config.startupMode = 'source';

Enjoy.

Keep in mind, while in source mode, copying content from somewhere else (such as articles etc) that have images, tables etc, the "extra" content will not copy over. Linked content will not copy over. All that will copy over in source mode is strictly text. You must use WYSIWYG mode for copying over "extra" content, but that is as easy as switching the editor mode, then going back to source mode to edit.

Doing the edits above will put all reply, new thread, visitor message boxes default in source mode.

ah, I understand. so for new registrants I could make it so they dont start out with wysiwyg but instead the standard editor. does the standard editor has the wysiwyg mode without changing in profile settings if they were to start with standard editor?

apparently this was a bug that I think they fixed in 4.1.5 Beta 1.
