Done

Okay.. I’m done.
Go ahead and check it out!

yeah works great, just one little thing, how can I add more tinymce’s to the text box?

before they were exactly the same as the ones in the wordpress add post symbols, now since they are different I assume I have to edit them from somewhere else?

looks fantastic though, thank you very much!

Hey man. No worries!
Glad we are getting closer.

Okay.. we are stepping into a few issues here. I can replicate your editor used when you edit a post/page from the admin… but this can be troublesome sometimes:

1. Some buttons can allow javascript to be inserted. This is not a good idea from the front-end of your website.

2. The width of the content editor was too wide; as it is currently. Meaning, some of the buttons were extended beyond the side of the area… making them inaccessible.

We could make a custom editor.. and only add the buttons you know your people will be using.

Perhaps this is an option? If so, you will need to create a list of what buttons you want to display on each row of the editor. Then, we will need to update that php function.

What do you think?

Sure, I see what you did, you added the wordpress tinymce’s to the box rather than the plugins, but I noticed an issue with that, if you’re logged in you get the visual buttons, like this:

but if you are not logged in you get the textual buttons like this:

which is rather strange, also the text box that shows when you logged in only shows one line of the wordpress tinymce’s it misses out the second line that has “paragraph” and other options, anyway, I did what you said, I organised the tinymce’s to fit in nice inside the add article box, here’s what they look like from the wordpress add post end:

(Now this one has both wordpress and your ultimatemce buttons)

and if the add article can do the same thing that would be great!, thanks

Also I came across this when I clicked on the “help” tinymce from the original wordpress buttons and they linked to this: https://www.tinymce.com/tryit/basic.php

I think maybe we can make a use of this script somehow, I read textbox in the script

Sorry.

This is the WordPress “kitchen sink” button. Do a Google search on that, and you’ll see it’s functionality. To get the second row to show… hover your mouse over each button in the top row until you see “show/hide kitchen sink”. Click that button, and you’ll see it expands/collapses row 2 of the editor.

Not at this time. The link you provided links to the new version 4 of Tinymce. Currently, WordPress makes use of version 3 of Tinymce. We cannot cross these versions, as many new enhancements were made in version 4.

So.. where do you stand with this?
We can still ‘tweak’ the original php code.. to add any buttons, remove them, or alter it in other ways.
However, I still urge you to consider exactly what functionality you want to allow non-trusted visitors to have. For example, do you want to let potential hackers be able to post code and scripts from the front-end of your website? I highly doubt it… but perhaps??

What’s your feedback?

Oh sorry for the late reply, I just only saw the email.

I believe you make a good point about the javascript buttons vulnerabilitising the site’s security, how about we just add another line to the box? the wordpress add post 2nd line of buttons?

and Congratulations on your baby, happy for you :’)

Thank you very, very much!! ??
Well – I’ve been super busy.. as is to be expected.

Anyways.. Yes, we can add a second row of buttons.
What are the buttons you would like to add to the second row?

** sorry for the off-topic comment – just happened to see this and couldn’t resist :)! **

AWESOME news, Josh! :)! Hope everyone is well and happy.

Hi WPYogi!

Yep.. things are fabulous! Mommy and baby are happy and healthy.. although they do keep me busy running! I’ll ‘reply’ to your email when I have some pics together (we have tons; just need to get them on computer).

Thank you for the very thoughtful consideration ??
If I don’t talk with you again before the holidays, please enjoy them to the fullest!

Hi Josh, second row will just be normal second row in wordpress, to replace your java tinymce’s, currently there’s only one line, so if you add the second one it would look like this:

Gotcha.

Would you mind forwarding me the email with your login credentials again? I receive about 200 emails a day, and I’d have to dig to locate the information.

If you don’t see it, no worries, I’ll dig ??

Thanks!

Okay.. give that a try now.
WP has changed a few things in the wp_editor() function.. but we got there.

I removed the “Upload Media” button from above the editor. This is kind of pointless since you have the input field below. Besides.. I don’t think you want to give the world access to your media upload ??

Let me know how all this works for you.
