    What WYSIWYG editor are you using in PostNuke? I was just wondering since i want to implament one in Ikonboard (as a hack) but can't find a (free) WYSIWYG editor that works in (almost) every browser. Up till now i've only found WYSIWYG editors that only work in IE.

    Thanks :)

    do you think that i could use the editor that you have with PostNuke to implament as a hack/addon for Ikonboard (the creator will be given credit for it). If you didn't make it but got it off some opensource project mind giving me the URL to the projects web-site?

    thinking about it, as its open source, surley you can just take it and use it? you dont need permssion.

    Though im sure the author would like the credit :wink:

    that would be cool, had some experience with this one I think with www.snippetmaster.com quite a tidy and user friendly setup.

    IMO, htmlarea or whatever that was, is very limited in comparison with what is currently in PostNuke.

    But, That snippetmaster, that seemed to be a very good, useful, option. . . sadly the pro version costs money...

    the code that snippetmaster generates isn't the most tidy setup in the world but its not bad and its quite flexible, it uses some sort of microsoft java plugin i believe. especially i like the image upload and if it could be that images are uploaded to the database like the photshare mod does that would be something special indeed. userfriendliness, not just for webmasters but for the uninitiated.

    The visual editor under .8 is (almost) completely modular so replacement visual editors can be developed by third parties very easily. The only non modular component of the currently version (htmlarea) is an addition to the body tag in the theme to call the main editor function.

    HTMLarea was looked at due to good cross platform functionality.

    sounds great, if whatever ends up being the default (text area) supports image uploads and the other formatting features then i will be impressed.

    HTMLarea doesn't support uploads (at least not that i'm aware of - there maybe addons). My personal preference (and in no way an official position) would be to decouple file uploads from visual editing. To me these features don't belong together as file uploads are required in places that the visual editor doesn't touch (i.e non textareas).

    I have, in the very early stages of development, a file upload module. This module will be available (either via hooks or apis) to all modules. So we can add upload facilites to all releveant modules via a single seccurable upload function rather than have many upload functions built into different modules and visual editors.

    Users that want upload facilties can have them and those that don't need not install the upload module.

    Much of this is in the planning stage at the moment but presents a more modular approach to adding this feature set to PN.

    I use a htmlarea module in phpnuke and it supports uploads, works great. Why don't we make a htmlarea module for PostNuke?
