Sorry for not writing that earlier. It seems that I need to work on my problem description skills. I enabled the visual tab already through an addon called bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab, but since I used that for quite some time I forgot that the visual tab is switched off by default.
So my setting is: I have BuddyPress groups, with bbPress forums. I have the visual tab enabled (easier to use for non-techi persons). I have the @mentions feature enabled, but it only works in the text tab (the ‘quicktags’ argument on the bbPress link you gave me). So what I want is now somehow enable the @mentions feature also for the visual tab.
I thought that @oakcreative has a similar approach, thats why I joined the thread. But I´m not sure how to replicate his approach with bbPress…
@danbp
Thanks for your suggestion Dan.
I already tried that. There are two problems with that snippent. The first being that the is_bbpress() is returning false when i access bbpress forums in a buddypress group (theme: firmasite). Thats easy to solve through eliminating that check.
The second problem is that currently the @mentions system isn’t working for the visual tab in tinyMCE, it works only for the text tab. Also discussed briefly between Paul Gibbs and Unsal Korkmaz here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-2-1-patsy/ (see comments)
One of the requirements for our platform is that users can use those fancy buttons in the visual tab, but having the mentions autocomplete only in the text tab is a little bit ..you know…unexpected for users 😉
Thus i hoped i can somehow manage to reproduce the approach of OakCreative, but I havent been successful.
Maybe also updating the at.js is a way to go, but the jump from the used version (0.5.2) to the current (1.3.0) seems to be to big to work just with replacing the script.
So this is my current knowledge about this topic. Does anyone know how to proceed? Or should i create a ticket for this, so that the devs can have a look into this in future releases? I havent found any ticket dealing with exactly this.
I´m currently working on the same problem; Making the @mentions work in the visual tab. But i try to achieve this within bbPress as well.
Any idea what files to change there? I´m struggling a little bit to find the lines you mentioned above.
edit: Did you come up with a more elegant solution in the mean time?
