It's quite good on the desktop. Much leaner/meaner/cleaner. Easier to manage attachements too (I've changed how these are handled).Love the design for a mobile device. Any pointers on how you went about it?
.xenForoSkin span.mce_link:before{content: "\e019";}
Suggestion: build this out as a proper add-on, or even just a hack/replacement. Sell it for at least $50 a pop.Just a feedback to confirm it's possible to get rid of the TinyMCE popupinline addon and replace it with the jQuery Tools overlay. I've just did it for the image button, but I'm not going to go further because I would need to recode the XenForo TinyMCE image insertion js (and then the one of others buttons: media, code/php/html, url)and I'm lazy to do it .
Here is an example of what to do:
1) for the editor_template.js, see this code: http://pastebin.com/wv4VswS3
2) create a new template called "editor_dialog_fast_image" and paste this code: http://pastebin.com/RniwzvSK
3) create a css template called "editor_dialog_fast.css" and paste this code: http://pastebin.com/zErjUAjX
You can test, the popup appears super fast. But as I said, now the insertion function must be coded.
I just wanted to show that it was possible to do it. I hope XenForo developers will take this into consideration.
I've just spent the last ten days to recode the MarkItUp integrator... if I do this my wife kills me...So for my safety I'm going to decline ^^Suggestion: build this out as a proper add-on, or even just a hack/replacement. Sell it for at least $50 a pop.
Everyone hates the crazy iframe overlay, plenty of customers.
I dohonestly, who needs all those many buttons in the editor ? There are only a few which are really needed.....
Who needs BB-code anyway ?
... let's not compare a forum (actually if XenForo wins its trial, it will certainly become more than a forum) with those "social" scripts please.I never saw any BB-code at Facebook, Twitter .... and it seems those websites are quite successful without BB-code
I do
This thread is about wysiwyg editor I guess, not bbcode editor.

If you don't want all the editor buttons, just use the buttons manager
The issue is that there's no middle-ground. With most forum software you can either have a lonely textarea or fire-up TinyMCE all of its glory, when you only need a fraction of the functionality. Obviously, I'm leaning far more towards the minimalist camp.
Our "legacy" ideas of what a forum should be will IMO, only end up holding us back. It's important to not lose sight of how people are actually interacting within their forums today. I think most users simply want to easily exchange information and photos among their community, with the least amount of obstacles in their path. The editor should barely be noticed or seen.
The point raised about Facebook/Pinterest/Tumblr/etc is very relevant. These platforms place a priority on the content rather than the platform. Most forum software(including Xenforo) is more about the platform itself, clinging to old and ineffective ideas (extra widgets and UI elements like breadcrumb nav where it's not required, "bbCode", bloated-editors). Much of it is simply superfluous, and I'd much rather see that energy directed towards getting the basics right.
That seems a bit harsh, but it's close to what some forums are used for, and they're absolutely thriving! In fact, they're probably some of the busiest sites. Our members are huge vintage watch enthusiasts. It's all about finding rare pieces, exchanging photos and information. There's not a lot of ego, but the place is covered in photos (around 2800 threads, over 8000 photos). We're not very big, but that gives you a good idea regarding the ratio....
Now, that my opinion, but a forum is a place to debate and exchange opinions. Not a place to glorify its own ego or promote oneself putting everywhere his own pictures. ...

So what you asking is a customized editor for usergroups? For example one for editor, one for readers? You can do this with TinyMCE on XenForo with the button manager.

I think it's time for us to stop adding any fixes or catering to software as old as IE7 (unless a contract explicitly requires supporting it)....
Now, you're right the future is to wysiwyg editors, may be "light ones" as Redactor, which is really good. But this editor doesn't work with IE7 (providing the information on its website)... and some people can't afford this, especially if you target companies. And this Editor will also have to modify some behaviour of basic buttons (see my explanation above about text selection on mobile/touch screens).

I'm not aware of anyone actually working on this right now.Any news about using redactor with xf?
Anybody having an addon for this?
Seems cheap enough. Someone could buy the OEM license and then price their add-on around $50 (as a minimum).Redactor license isn't exactly cheap for this sort of thing. And being a HTML editor I can see issues with it for this type of editor. Would love for tinymce to die though, forever, in pain...
Redactor is a professional tool. If you're just playing around and need some free stuff — choose TinyMCE, CKEditor, etc
Ah, that's a shame.That is also if they let someone purchase it for that. The developer behind Laravel wanted to purchase that license for people to use in Laravel but they denied them.
