My self-hosted instance looks like this:
Looks like there has been a lot of discussion about WYSIWYG editors in the forums and I have found a few plugins, but I would like to know it’s implemented here?
A user, Morganjackson, asks about enabling the fancy editor in their self-hosted Discourse instance, noting that their interface lacks the expected toolbar and preview features. JammyDodger explains that the missing elements are likely due to an outdated version (2.8.6) of Discourse, which is the current limit for the Bitnami install they are using. JammyDodger suggests upgrading to a standard install to access newer features and compatibility with plugins like discourse-reactions. Morganjackson acknowledges the advice and plans to explore a standard install, with JammyDodger offering further assistance if needed.
Hello and welcome @Morganjackson ![]()
I think you may be referring to the Preview screen? If you’ve tucked it away, you can display it again by clicking on the double chevron icon at the bottom of your composer. ![]()
(though yours seems to be tucked under the reply button, rather than on the right)
@JammyDodger Thanks for taking the time to reply! ![]()
it seems like I may have a different version of the editor? I’m also missing the editor toolbar options.
Oh yes, they’re missing too. The composer and preview on Meta are the standard ones. Have you got any plugins or theme components that may be interfering with your setup?
Ah, you are a few versions behind, which may explain it. There have also been a few security commits as well recently, so you should update to latest as soon as you can. ![]()
Except for discourse-reactions which I only just installed.
I think the Bitnami install is currently capped at 2.8.6, which means that it doesn’t play well with updated versions of the plugins. Personally, I would consider moving to a standard install and restoring a backup there. Someone did mention a workaround in the data explorer topic, but I’m afraid I only really know about the standard install.
Bitnami may be able to offer you more specific help?
Thanks @JammyDodger I’ll look into a standard install ![]()
Looks like I have my weekend taken care of ![]()
No worries.
