It's not straight forward - you will need someone to make an add-on out of it.Suppose we were to get a personal license, can someone please guide on how to implement this editor and replace the default tinymce?
First, my apologies for resurrecting such an old thread. I was really curious to hear if you'd developed this any further.It's not straight forward - you will need someone to make an add-on out of it.
Which, I'm kinda not doing, but I was interested in how it would look and work, and truly if it would be better than TinyMCE...
Well, it isn't.
TinyMCE is not our problem. Having a WYSIWYG editor is the problem.
Someone please correct me, but one of the biggest gripes about the editor is to do with copy and pasting content - especially with dark and light themes, where potentially content copy and pasted from a dark theme could potentially be invisible in a light theme.
Here's what I've found:
So, the editor works out of the box...

Looks good Don't be under the illusion that I have this as a working add-on, yet. This is just pretty much hacked in. So, on the top of things, it works.

What if I copy and paste this white text on a black background?

The editor displays it with the black background. That could work... I guess... But who wants to have forum posts looking like that? Not that it matters, because when it is posted...

Oops. Same problems as TinyMCE then...

The text is there when highlighted, but as expected, the text has taken on the same white colour as the source so usually will be invisible.
The other gripe about TinyMCE is customisability, but I'm really not that keen on progressing this much further when it has the same inherent problem as any other WYSIWYG editor.
Apologies for bumping this thing yet again, but I'm really curious to hear if Chris or anyone has made further progress in integrating Redactor with Xenforo.
I've almost finished cleaning up the TinyMCE interface, and now hate it more than ever. The excessive markup, styles, and JS for a simple menu or button is just plain wrong.
It only takes a user clicking on any of the buttons (which trigger an iframe overlay) to see just how dysfunctional TinyMCE really is. I can't believe people still defend the editor and try to justify its continued use.
I wish we could completely replace this bloated old relic from the dark days of the web. Pretty please? Perhaps if we all work together?
Cheers, Trev
Thanks for the update Chris.Hi. Sorry don't know how I missed this.
I did not do anything with this, not do I intend to in the foreseeable future.
Respectfully (of course), I keep hearing the same general sentiment regarding TinyMCE. Essentially, it's "good enough" and gets the job done.Well, sorry but I'm still going to defend TinyMce ^^ The editor is working fine, I don't have major problem with it. The slowness of the iframe overlay is annoying it's true, it's due to its inline popup plugin. But it's the choice of XenForo developers to use it. I'm pretty sure they can do it with the XenForo Ajax insertion template & the jQuery tools, but I'm not sure it's a priority. Now the XenForo html/bbcode parser has been built arround TinyMce, I'm really not sure it's possible to use it with another editor without changing it. ...
It'll certainly be interesting to see if he can pull it off. Someone has now offered him a license.

It's the uploader button. We're currently at around 8000 attachements, and only a few of those are not photos.I'm curious, what is the purpose of the camera icon on the left of the post reply button? Is it the uploader?
