Adding quicktags (bold, italic etc.) to textarea USP

Hi 1BJK903, it is possible to include accepted markup tags like em, strong, and so forth, but some custom coding would be required to add quicktag buttons to the USP form.

Yes, I managed to pull it off with javascript, but I actually want the default tags that are in WordPress like on this commentarea… How can I do that? Could you help me with that please?

May be if someone can help us to replace the editor of the form with the wordpress editor.. that should be fine. I’m also having the same issue.

Yes, I managed to pull it off with javascript

Did you manage to create custom buttons of font-types in the form editor? If so, can you kindly share your code?

No, it’s not font-types like B or I, but other shortcodes.

Jeff, can you look at this too?

yep, just added to the list for this next version..

Version 20130720 includes option to use WP’s rich text editor for the textarea ??

Is the plugin out already then? I can’t see it.

Anyhow, is there any change you can add the quicktags like on WordPress support? So the bold tag, <i> tag… Instead of the WYSIWYG editor?

Yep, new plugin version available here:

Currently the rich text/WYSIWYG editor is included using its default settings, but it should be easier now to make custom modifications to achieve the simpler quicktag menu, as you mention.

Thanks mate, will test it out!

@jeff: where can I edit the richtext editor? I want to have different tags…

Couldn’t find it…

The file to edit is located in the /views/ directory; it’s either submission-form.php or submission-form-classic.php, depending on your settings. In either of those files look for the wp_editor() function and then go from there.
