CKEditor with BBCode

I have FCKEditor for my forum!
but it gives alot many problems while Editing the topics and posts

line space problem

hyperlinking text will make your text tiny no matter what your desired size is

automatic jumbling of html code

first line coming down to last is very comon

images floating nowhere in the topic is highly expected

image border never works

Use Templates at your own risk as it cannot afford and whole composition go down the drain

entry of slash is prohibited... if you try to insert it also it is eaten by editor

.
.
listed above are few problem to list out... there are many more

it is unpredictable... it is fine while compiling but worst while editing
Unfortunately CKEditor WYSIWYG should be WYSIWYDG
D is for Don't :sad:

Now, I am planning to have 2 Editors now - WYSIWYG for advanced users and a Basic Editor like this one for Beginners with Toggle Feature.

Can I get the Source Code for the CKEditor I am compiling this topic with? it is very nice for basic use!

just redirect me to the code, I'll be very grateful

Re: CKEditor with BBCode

Can you let us know whether you're talking about the new bbcode plugin or completely of your own effort?

hello garry.yao,
thanks for reply

I need a BBCode plugin for CKEditor that actually works - it is best if I get it from here

WYSIWYG editor for novice users will be annoying so need a simple BBCode editor just like BBCode editor in any other Bulletin Board but most of them do not use CKEditor

I want to enable BBCode functionality within CKEditor

would you please redirect me to the exact location where I get the right solution

Re: CKEditor with BBCode

We released CKEditor 3.6 about two weeks ago and as stated in the announcement post, it now includes a sample BBCode implementation that can work as an example of how to customize CKEditor to output BBCode.

To see how it works you can download the latest CKEditor release, go to the "_samples" folder and check the BBCode Plugin sample (bbcode.html). Alternatively, you can also see it "live" on our nightly build: http://nightly.ckeditor.com/latest/cked ... bcode.html.

Note, however, that BBCode is not a standard and various message boards and blog engines differ in their implementations of this markup language. It is impossible for us to provide a working out-of-the-box solution for every BBCode dialect that is available, so we created the sample implementation to give some guidance to external developers who would like to use the CKEditor + BBCode combination.

We hope that the sample plugin will be useful for your efforts and at the same time hope that you will be willing to share your solution with the community, in a true Open Source fashion. Good luck!

Re: CKEditor with BBCode

I am afraid you are a bit confused as to whether what we offer is what you need. We cannot provide you with the source code of the editor that is used on this forum, as what you are writing in is simply a phpBB3 discussion board with their standard BBCode editor implemented and *not* CKEditor. In short, if you want a similar solution, you would need to use a plugin for the message board engine that your website uses or create your own solution.

As for CKEditor, our BBCode plugin mentioned above shows how to use a WYSIWYG editor (this is what CKEditor is) to output BBCode-formatted text instead of HTML, which is a standard WYSIWYG editor output format.
