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

How can we copy and paste html web page contents directly to kunena ?

So we don't need to make them [urls=] [/url] / [img=] [/img] manually.

Ohhh..That means we can't do this and save user's time?? If we can do this users will post more posts

Any alternative ways to do this ?

Hello,
I'm new to Kunena. Well, at least as far as building it into client sites. I've used it in many Joomla sites as a visitor.

I'm amazed that there is no WYSIWYG editor for Kunena. For site development, I don't use a WYSIWYG editor, but for non-technical visitors to user forums, people generally expect one.

Is there any way to make one work in Kunena?

Thanks,
Matthew

The general user is not a hacker, is there no way to get a WYSIWYG-editor to kunena?

The editor now is horrible for most people.

That's an opinion. The fact is that uncontrolled WYSIWYG editing usually means that HTML is stored in forum messages and, as we all know, when you allow people to enter HTML you create a security hole that allows cyber-terrorists to do untold havoc on your site. Most web-based forums do not allow HTML; that's also a fact.

It is hoped - but there is no guarantee - that a future version of Kunena will allow some kind of WYSIWYG editing feature. This feature is still some distance away. We ask people to be patient.

If people really would like WYSIWYG editing as the number one priority, and they're prepared to pay for this feature to be developed as that number one priority, the development team would be grateful if you would like to donate to the Kunena project to make this happen sooner rather than later.

This topic is a discussion about how it might be possible to implement WYSIWYG editing in Kunena. I suggest we try to stay on that topic and not broaden the issue into the other areas (like AJAX, "layout" and a comparison with other forums) that you've mentioned.

Fair enough. We'll just have to agree to disagree, I guess. I'm trying to steer a fairly moderate course between the two extremes: on the one hand, the unrestricted use of HTML in a web-based discussion forum is an undeniable security risk; on the other hand, being lumbered with an inflexible BBcode-driven legacy from the old "bulletin board" days requires a small learning curve for novices. There's a happy medium, I hope, somewhere in between.

I also think that you've overlooked a key difference between Kunena and other commercial forum software that charge you for their use. Kunena is developed by volunteers who have freely given their time so that you can have this forum product for free.
