Thread

I see that this question was asked a LONG time ago, and no recent answer has been given.  We have implemented the scaffold template (love it) BUT, are looking for a wysiwyg editor to implement. 

We currently have Wygwam installed…can we utilize this?

Thanks!

DigitalDesigns,

I don’t believe an add-on exists to implement this for the forums.
You are free to install your own wysiwyg editor. Wygwam itself uses CKEditor so I would start there and try and apply it to your textarea

I was able to do this with CKEditor.

I added these lines to the top of the “Post Submission Form” template inside the Discussion Forum module templates.

<skriptz type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></skriptz>
<skriptz type="text/javascript" src="/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></skriptz>
<skriptz type="text/javascript" src="/js/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js"></skriptz>
<skriptz type="text/javascript" src="/js/ckeditor.init.js"></skriptz>

I’m borrowing code from another project in which I used jQuery to initialize the CKEditor. I normally would have used their CDN link

<a href="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.1.min.js">http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.1.min.js</a>

but this site is using SSL so I had to download the full library in order to prevent security warnings from popping up.

My ckeditor.init.js file consists of this:

jQuery(function(){
    // ckeditor config
    var wysiwyg_nl2br_config = {
        toolbar : 
            [
                ['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','Subscript','Superscript','-','NumberedList','BulletedList','-','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','-','PasteText','PasteFromWord','RemoveFormat','-','Link','Unlink','Anchor','Scayt','-','Source']
            ],
        width : '650px',
        height : '200px',
        forcePasteAsPlainText : 'true',
        enterMode : CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR
    };
    
    jQuery("textarea.textarea").ckeditor(function(){
        // attach CKFinder
    }, wysiwyg_nl2br_config);
});

Hopefully someone else will find this useful.

Thanks for the assist, Roger!

DigitalDesigns, is the information from Roger enough to get you started?
