bbPress 2.0 (the plugin) has built-in support for tinymce. I guess bbPress 1 would not see any more feature additions.

In wp-admin go to Settings->Forums and enable the Fancy Editor to enable using TinyMCE.

acousticwebdesign, the “Fancy Editor” (which is using wordpress default editor) is only available in bbPress 2.1, which is still under development.

For bbPress 2.02 user, I recommend you to use Rich Text Editor For Comments which is using jWYSIWYG, although it’s may be a bit hard for beginners to configure it as it lack a setting page.

You can style the editor if you hate the default styling, provided that you know some CSS stuff.

I’m using the bbpress 2.1 and the inclusion of the fancy editor was really great. Thanks for your job!

@sniper kitten, is there a quick way to add the smiley button to the editor?

I was looking at the code but can’t see work it out. Some help would be appreciated.

@jaredatch Thanks, I have tried that editor but it didn’t work in the environment I’m developing.

A forum user needs a basic editor but to make a blogpost I need the regular wp-editor. The tinymce-advanced seems to override all wp-editors.

I read somewhere in the forum that the develper of that plugin was planning to implement some sort of feature where you can have role-based variants but he’s not quite there yet.

You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file to enable the editor.

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

The visual editor is almost essential for the non-technical audience I have on my forum. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. For example, if someone copies and pastes a previous post to quote it they’ll end up with a bunch of html visible in their post.

Doug,

I tried this in the custom functions area and my site errors out.

When I remove it, my site comes back .. fyi.

Any ideas? Thanks.

@discdemo

remove Dougs code and see if just using this will fix it. it does the same thing.

also see if deactivating wp-edit will fix the problem , i tried it awhile ago with the visual editor code and it was kind of buggy.

How do you handle the html injection when text is copied from a source?

I just copied text from another website and paste it in the visual editor and the message will have html tags in te text (not rendered html)

<h2 style=”color: #00bbaa; margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; line-height: normal;”>SVG for web</h2>
<p style=”margin: 15px 0px; color: #000000; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;”></p>
<p style=”margin: 15px 0px; color: #000000; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;”>Twee jaar geleden dachten wij een goed idee te hebben, een HTML app m....

This is what it looks like.

Sometimes this happens when copying from within the same site. For example, you may copy and paste from a previous part of the conversation to quote it. The HTML from the site will be picked up and copied into the editor.

I just added a function to fix this behavior at the bottom of the Enable Visual Editor bbPress Codex page.

Can i add import image from Computer?

Thanks.

Hi @thinkDrew,

If it can help, a basic tinyMCE can also be activated in my bbP Toolkit plugin.
