Merged WYSIWYG editor for Kunena: How to allow HTML tags?

I think thats a good answer... Give me the ability to use standard html bold, italic,tables, styling etc, without haveing to resort to [] statements.
allow me to c/p html articles and have kunena translate it into bbcode if it wish's but still display it as it would if it was pure html page.
allow me to include ANY video in my posts... kunena lists a LONG line of supported video formats which is fantastic, but most don't work.
allow me to insert mp3 easily....
let me see what it is its going to look like as I type...

do those things and I'll be a very happy camper. I could care less if its in perl, cobolt, bbcode, or mike magic voodoo.. what I care about is ease of use. There are bbcode wysiwig editors so.......................

Main reason why Kunena doesn't support HTML is because of we just don't have time to do everything at once. Kunena 2.0 has designed so that it's easy to add HTML/WYSIWYG support, but I would still need a week or two to implement it. And time is the number one luxury which I'm mostly lacking (partly because of I need to earn some money, too).

There's a lot that cannot be done with HTML that can be done with BBCode. And there are things that cannot be done with BBCode, but are easy with HTML. It's just matter of taste.

The main reason why we are not implementing this now is that even without adding any feature to Kunena 2.0, it will take some time to get it stable. Adding new features would mean yet more waiting.

ty Matias thats the best answer I've heard since this thread started almost 3yrs ago. Perhaps after 3yrs its something that can finally start getting worked on albeit slowly.

It's been a moot point for the past three years. On the one hand we've said that there are many good reasons why it's not possible (maybe we should have said it's not achievable in the short-term). On the one hand there are many technical difficulties associated with implementing this feature. As much as people can assert that "it's really easy", unless you have the technical understanding of what's involved and how to dovetail a WYSIWYG editor into a complex piece of software like Kunena, these merely remain assertions. There's little point in the moderator team (or the developers) arguing against those assertions and that's probably why this topic has remained unresolved or that there haven't been responses that are satisfactory.

On the other hand, there's also a need to safeguard the potential that allowing a security loophole to creep into Kunena jeopardises the ability to have Kunena listed on the JED. Way back in the days of J 1.5.6, there was a likelihood that the potential for XSS exploits nearly had Kunena removed from the JED. That's why so much work has been done (and will continue to be done) to prevent security hazards.

Thanks for your understanding. I'm sorry I did not make myself clearer on this point before. Looking back over the past three years in this topic, I have tried on many occasions to make those points but they're easily missed.

Hello!

Forum Kunena, of course tremendous and wonderful work! Well done!

I would like to make greater use of this wonderful component. Please tell us:

- Is it possible to connect a standard Joomla Kunena Tiny MCE editor and JCE, replace the existing one. Just like in a forum «ccboard». Or using a different editor with HTML?

- Need function "quick response" in the current message as an attachment or post a comment. Now, the function of "rapid response" creates a new message. Must be within an existing post in a forum such as the «IP.Board»

No and No

Different subject; different topic. Use the Reply function to upload an attachment. Use the Quick Reply function to post a reply/comment.

ccboard had a EXTREMELY serious vulnerability and as a person who used to assist in it I can only say... DONT USED IT!!!
While I did enjoy the ability to use a standard editor, I did NOT enjoy the harassing emails/ phone calls when the NSA and FBI started calling from the bank phishing hack.

hi!
Advantage of integration with Joomla and Kunena!
Kunena allow you to use your default editor Joomla and all the button editor.

Best Regards!

It would be real nice to insert videos, images, etc easily in the backend. Is there a way to have the board control wysiwyg, kind of like whats above what I'm typing right now? Or the ability to use something like JCE?

>> Also, kind of the same topic, how would you float a video with BBC code? [floatright] doesn't seem to work

There's one way. There are many Joomla plug-ins that allow you to add tags into articles. Those plug-ins generally work also with Kunena if you enable support for content plugins in Kunena configuration.

Just remember that some of those plug-ins were never meant to be used by normal users!
