No sort of bbcode editing?

[THVossen]

How come VB5 has no BBCode editing to embed images, youtube videos, bold words, etc?

Seems like it's lacking A LOT and really affects vb5.

[THVossen]

Also, if it isn't possible for VB5 at all even with editing, is it possible to downgrade to VB4?

Press the 'A' button on the right hand side of the editor.

There is no way to downgrade to vB4.

Oh didn't even notice that! Is there a way to expand it by default?

[Mark.B]

No, it should set a cookie to remember it though.

I'm not sure if that works or even implemented. There's a cookie created for it but I think it's not used.

I have suggested a script in one of the old posts here that programmatically clicks the A button on page load to expand the advanced editor by default. I don't have the link to the thread though.

It does work for me, during my current session. Seems to reset once the session expires though.

For a while, on my demo site, I had some css and a template edit in place which made it show all the time, and hid the 'A' button, but I reverted it a while back.

Not sure if that method still works.

I can confirm, from adding it to my demo site, that it does....

What would I put for "Title" and "Template Name"?

[Mark.B]

Title can be anything you want.
Template name - you need to give it a name, I used advanced_editor
Hook location is editor_after_secondary_toolbar_icons

Then you need to go to Style Manager > Add New Template (from the dropdown). Call the new template EXACTLY the same as the template name you chose above.
Into the template, paste this code:

<script>
(function() {
    var loadAdvancedEditor = function() {
        var editorToolbar = document.querySelector('.b-toolbar__item[data-panel="b-content-entry-panel__content--toggle-editor"]:not(.b-toolbar__item--active)');
        editorToolbar && editorToolbar.click();
    };
    if (window.addEventListener) {
        window.addEventListener('load', loadAdvancedEditor, false);
    }
    else if (window.attachEvent) {
        window.attachEvent('onload', loadAdvancedEditor);
    }
})();
</script>

Thank you! That worked.

Is there a way to only have it when creating a New Topic and keep the quick editor (when posting replies) the default?

Not that I know of...it's the same editor for both.

Ah okay. Thank you! If anyone is able to figure out if it's possible, that'd be sweet. I do like how the default editor looks like for the quick reply which is why I ask. Keeps it simple for a quick reply, but for a new topic, it may need some editing which is why I ask.

Change the code to this:

<script>
(function() {
   // for create new topic only
    if (document.querySelector('.new-content-widget')) {
        var loadAdvancedEditor = function() {
            var editorToolbar = document.querySelector('.b-toolbar__item[data-panel="b-content-entry-panel__content--toggle-editor"]:not(.b-toolbar__item--active)');
            editorToolbar && editorToolbar.click();
        };
        if (window.addEventListener) {
            window.addEventListener('load', loadAdvancedEditor, false);
        }
        else if (window.attachEvent) {
            window.attachEvent('onload', loadAdvancedEditor);
        }
    }
})();
</script>
