Hello,

Just wondering what the differences are between the CKEditor HTML and CKEditor BBcode versions in YAF.

The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to switch the default editor of our forum to CKEditor to facilitate the use of a commercial plugin that will allow easy image uploads. However, I'm a little puzzled with the two different option in YAF.

Thanks,
Andrew

The difference between them is one is styling with BBCode and the other is using HTML. I'm not sure how I can explain it better than that, sorry. The BBCode editor lets you style with using the [ ] bbcode tags, but with the HTML editor you have to use HTML syntax. I hope this helps at least a little bit.

I've had a lot of usability issues with the CKEditor and it is frustratingly slow to load in comparison to the default "standard" editor for YAF.

Also, I do not think you can upload images via CKEditor, or at least I am not seeing that option right now. You can Link an image and maybe that's what you're alluding to?

Ah, I see now. There appears to be just one CKEditor folder under editors so if I upgrade it does this mean that the CKEditor (HTML) will be the same working version as CKEditor (BBCODE)?

Yes they both the same but the use different config files one for the bb code language and one for html.

Ah ok. I see them now. Thanks!
