Hi guys,

Has anyone got a WYSIWYG editor working with News 1.44 at the same time as the CBB 3.07 Forums? Both are standard "default" installs.

Both modules are working fine "as is" but I'd like to use something more advanced that the basic XOOPS editors for News 1.44

I tried Tinyeditor Beta 1 (as there's a file in the download to overwrite one in the news module which makes it work) but this "broke" the Forums.

Any thoughts or ideas?

TIA

Yes you can do one of two things as we wrote in a FAQ some where, News can use better editors... many are preset for out side the XOOPS editors folder....
so you can have a wysiwyg folder and the existing Koivi folder in the XOOPS editors with the forum...
use the older package of wysiwyg that was with Newbb2 also...this is how we have koivi in wiwimod....
and FCK, and the rest in the forum and articles...just two copies of the editors.

Other option is hack news, to point to class/xoopseditors

Instead of class/

Thanks for the advice - you've given me hope

I've found this FAQ which I assume is the one to which you refer? If so them I have a couple of questions......

I've downloaded wysiwyg_sections1053b.zip (from the link in the Comments under the FAQ) and extracted it. This gives a directory called "wysisyg_sections" which contains:

admin directory
images directory
language directory
sql directory
wysiwyg directory
header.php
index.php
xoops_version.php

The instructions in the FAQ say:

"Then stick this in your class folder, as News 1.44, WIWIMod, userpages and loads more point to a folder in class called wysiwyg."

Do I take this literally, i.e. just upload the (sub-)directory "wysiwyg" to the /class folder (thereby discarding all the other sub-directories and files) or should the FAQ really say:

"Stick the the following:

/admin
/images
/language
/sql
/wysiwyg
header.php
index.php
xoops_version.php

into /class...."?

I don't think that there is currently any of the above directories/files in my /class directory so doing this probably won't cause any harm, but this might no be the case for others.

I guess I should give this a go, yes?

Thnaks for the help

OK - I can't upload images (yet) but that might be anything to with this as I've not tried it at all before
