Plugin per Editor WYSIWYG

This is work in progress, please give me some thought. :smile: :muscle:

Intriguing! Are you planning to eventually open source your work?

I would love to do so.

Awesome. Please update us here when you do. I’m very curious to find out what libraries you’re building this on top of. I always thought Prosemirror would be a good foundation for WYSIWYG in Discourse, since it is also using @vitaly’s excellent markdown-it library.

Also, are you doing this as a personal project (i.e. for the fun and challenge of it, and scratching an itch) or is this work being sponsored in some way? I ask because within the Meta community there’s huge interest in rich editing, so there are a couple different avenues we could explore to support this work.

This is kind of personal project, I am in the middle of converting my own forum into discourse, but Markdown would be big obstacle for my users, that’s why I have been doing this (on spare time).
This editor intents to be compatible with Discourse, I am challenging with quotes and Markdown, so far so good. :muscle:

Hi folks, should we allow editing text inside quote? it is currently allowed to do so.

I do this regularly. Sometimes to fix a typo, sometimes to add emphasis. Sometimes to add ellipses when removing parts of the quote for brevity.

So, it’s nice to have. But I don’t think it’s must have if you’re looking for ways to cut scope and get an initial release out sooner.

Alright, have that done. I am making way to insert text before and after quote blocks.

If you want more feedback, we can set you up with a public demo instance on Digital Ocean. There’s going to be a whole bunch of people around here eager to try it out. You can send me a PM about it.

This is what would happen when quoting more while the cursor (of the editor) is inside another quote.

Things done recently:

  • Copying / pasting rich text.
  • Quote editing.
  • Adding/Removing link.
  • Rich text to markdown conversion to save to the database.

any updates to this?

I know there have been discussions, I still think a WYSIWYG editor would make it easier for the nontechies.

Did you run out of steam? Or why are there no updates lately? I checked the video and it looked pretty good.

I am afraid that here there is an enormous chasm between “pretty good” and “good enough”. There are lots and lots of edge cases that make this such a hard problem, our editor is super rich.

Overall, we find that many non-tech communities get used to the current editor and almost never complain about it.

Ciao,
Supporto un editor WYSIWYG per le future versioni di Discourse Forum.
Ciò renderebbe la modifica molto piÚ semplice e permetterebbe di sfruttare meglio le dimensioni dello schermo.

Ci sono novità su cosa sia successo qui? Il video dimostra una funzionalità eccellente e funzionante. Il repository è qui: GitHub - quangbuule/Discourse-BEditor: Replacing Discourse Editor (d-editor) to Better Editor with WYSIWYG feature. ¡ GitHub

Sarei anche felice di attivare la modalità WYSIWYG sia per la nostra comunità non tecnica che per quella di project management. Attivarla in quest’ultima ci permetterebbe di coinvolgere il team del cliente e consentirgli di contribuire alle discussioni.

Al momento sto lavorando a un plugin per un editor WYSIWYG. Per i dettagli, leggi questo thread:

Puoi anche scrivere post di prova su:

anche se questo link potrebbe cambiare o smettere di funzionare in futuro (è la mia istanza di sviluppo personale fino al lancio del mio sito).

Funziona già abbastanza bene, ma alcune estensioni di Discourse per il Markdown sono visibili solo nell’anteprima finché non passo a post in HTML puro. Tuttavia, penso vada bene per i principianti, dato che non utilizzeranno comunque queste funzionalità.

Discourse sta ora distribuendo un compositore WYSIWYG sperimentale :confetti_ball:
