I've asked this question on the FUDforum forum as well, since I don't know where the problem/solution lies.
I'm using CKEditor with FUDforum (BBCode output), and when I try to quote/reply a post the CKEditor buttons are greyed out and the quoted content is not visible in the edit field, although it's in the HTML for the page. The quoted content is lost when I click the preview or submit buttons. If I disable CKEditor, it works fine.
Any suggestions?
Re: Cannot quote post with FUDforum using CKEditor
In case anyone else runs into this, here's the solution.
FUDforum using BBCode encodes the quoted message using this format:
[quote title=<blah>]
instead of the following format expected by the CKEditor BBCode plugin:
[quote=<blah>]
The BBCode plugin errors on a null value because it wasn't written to handle this kind of input. If you add a check for null value to avoid the error, it treats the quote more or less like an unrecognized tag, with the complication that it can't match up the opening and closing tags.
I fixed it by modifying FUDforum post.tmpl, ppost.tmpl, and post_proc.inc.t files to use "[quote=" instead of "[quote title=".
I also modified CKEditor BBCode plugin.js to stop adding quotes around the cite text, because they were being displayed and I didn't want that.
