You should read before installing a prototype plugin !
This is a work in progress to illustrate what i have in mind for a next BuddyPress Template Pack. DO NOT USE on a live website! I repeat: DO NOT USE on a live website!
If you want a visual editor, here’s a bit old solution. Give it a try, maybe it’s still working !
@danbp
I know its a prototype plugin and i installed it on a test website. Thanks for the link but it doesn’t work.
I added the code to bp-custom.php and then edited buddypress/activity/members/single/messages/compose.php. I replaced <textarea name="content" id="message_content" rows="15" cols="40"> with <?php do_action( 'whats_new_textarea' ); ?>. It actually shows the visual editor but when the send message button is clicked it gives error Your message was not sent. Please enter some content. I am not much familiar with coding so maybe I am doing a mistake.
thanks
yep! $content is not defined.
Use this one instead. Successfully tested with 2015.
function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
// deactivation of the visual tab, so user can't play with template styles
add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ) , 50 );
$content = "";
// building the what's new textarea
if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] );
endif;
// adding tinymce tools
$editor_id = 'whats-new';
$settings = array(
'textarea_name' => 'whats-new',
'teeny' => true,
'media_buttons' => true,
'drag_drop_upload' => true,
'quicktags' => array(
'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close'
)
);
// get the editor
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );
@danbp thanks for the code snippet but it doesn’t work. I replaced the bp-custom.php code with the new one you provided but still getting the same error. After pasting the code in bp-custom.php i only have to replace the <textarea name="content" id="message_content" rows="15" cols="40"> with <?php do_action( 'whats_new_textarea' ); ?>, right?
The generated HTML after adding the new code is <textarea class="wp-editor-area" rows="20" cols="40" name="whats-new" id="message_content"></textarea>
What is going wrong?
thanks
Sorry, my fault! I haven’t realised you mentioned /messages/compose.php
The snippet is intended to work on the what’s new form, not the compose message form.
To do this, we need the correct textarea name and another editor_id. Use this function:
function bpfr_compose_msg_tiny_editor() {
$content = "";
if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] );
endif;
$editor_settings = array(
'content' => bp_messages_content_value(),
'textarea_name' => 'content',
'editor_id' => 'message_content',
'teeny'=>true,
'media_buttons'=>false
);
wp_editor( bp_messages_content_value(), "message_content", $editor_settings);
}
add_action( 'compose_edit_tools', 'bpfr_compose_msg_tiny_editor' );
In compose.php, remove line 38
<textarea name="content" id="message_content" rows="15" cols="40"><?php bp_messages_content_value(); ?></textarea>
and replace it by
<?php do_action( 'compose_edit_tools' ); ?>
Visual and Text tab may be unecessary. You can hide them by adding this to your theme style.css:
#wp-message_content-editor-tools {display:none!important;}
To get the edit tools on the reponse editor, same trick, replace the textarea line 123 in /messages/single.php with the above action hook.
@danbp awesome now its working 🙂 thanks
Sorry @danbp but it is not working for replies.
Keep getting “There was a problem sending that reply. Please try again.”
So I guess there is something wrong with the content.
Thanks in advance for looking into this 🙂
