Forum:Rich text editor beta testing!

Morning! Ajraddatz has suggested this wiki as a location for beta testing the upgraded rich text editor. See here for more info: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Kirkburn/Beta_test_the_new_rich_text_editor

If there are no objections, we plan to put it live tomorrow! There may be a few rough edges to the editor, but we will try and get those sorted as quickly as possible, and it will be a huge help to see it in a live environment. Kirkburn (talk) 14:30, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * The beta should be going live today :)
 * To anyone and everyone, please let me know about any and all issues you find here! Kirkburn (talk) 09:50, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

The beta is now live here! Kirkburn (talk) 11:34, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there anyway to disable this for my account? Im completly confused and like the old thing better.

I like the new editor, but can you change the copy thing. I hate it to copy the things in a extra box before the text would at to a site-- 12:29, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you describe in more detail the issue? I think it's a browser security model issue, and difficult for us to deal with.
 * On another topic, there is a known issue with the user preference not applying - we'll get that fixed ASAP!

I will show it you: File:Error.png I use Firefox-- 12:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Yeah, unfortunately I believe this is unavoidable - you're trying to paste using the keyboard shortcut? Kirkburn (talk) 13:04, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Yes it works!I like the new design.On my pages i have many codes therefor i can't use the editor on my page.Please fix that.-- 13:12, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, complex code is ... well ... complex to deal with. We're going to improve that over time though, so fewer pages fall back to source mode. Kirkburn (talk) 13:17, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Can you please add that you can edit the color with a button-- 13:20, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Unlikely - it's rather too advanced/unnecessary for most users. Meanwhile, the user preference bug is now fixed. Kirkburn (talk) 13:26, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Good :) -- 13:29, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * About the paste dialog: it occurs when you try to paste from the right-click context menu. The issue is that the editor basically isn't allowed to access your clipboard in that fashion for security reasons. To avoid it, you can use the keyboard shortcut instead.
