[edit 2006-03-06] I've resumed work on developing this mod [/edit]
OK, as promised here is the preview links for the WYSIWYG RTE mod. Please, as it is a live forum and it is a church website, keep the posts clean and use the Testing Forum only. I would appreciate feedback about its functionality in various browsers other than IE. The mod is based on the TinyMCE RTE from tinymce.moxiecode.com and supposedly supports a wide variety of browsers that I don't have access to.

Oh, and please, I know the website in general needs a major overhaul, so just keep the comments to the operational functionality of the RTE. It is a frames based site (baaaad...), but that will be fixed soon enough now that I have an HTML editor for a portal style page. The link will take you directly to default.asp.
The link: St. Paul's Anglican Church Forums
User: snitz0, pw: snitz0 (Forumcode privs test account)
User: snitz1, pw: snitz1 (Basic RTE test account)
User: snitz2 pw: snitz2 (Advanced RTE test account)

I have not customized the RTE in any way yet, the two modes are default as distributed by moxiecode. It can be customized.
Left to do:
1) smilies, I have a handle on this one. default RTE set works, but the snitz ones will work soon. [EDIT] thought it was done , needs major work with image manipulation. [/EDIT]
2) Image tag handling issues to resolve. Post fine into db but displayed incorrectly. Getting more intimate with FormatStr and supporting functions than my liking.
3) URLs get parsed twice if inserted using RTE link tool and without "http://" prefix. All other methods of inserting URLs appear to work. Looks more like an RTE bug.
4) Need additional toolbar buttons for code and quote tags. [edit 2006-03-06]Semi-functional[/edit].
5) Admin panel: right now, RTE privs can be assigned on a user by user basis, but I would like to build an admin panel for bulk assignments.
6) HTML to ForumCode conversions: Images, Smilies conversion. URL conversion. Paragraph & CR conversion. Font tags, not yet, too many combos and not practical.
Still a lot of work & testing needed. Getting close now.
[edit 2006-03-06] Surprisingly the modifications to base code are very minimal, I've managed to accomplish most of the integration in an include file. I've re-enabled the test accounts for a short while, appreciate your feedback. Pending positive feedback, I'll post what I have thus far. If anyone is interested to help with this project, email me via the forum. [/edit]
cheers,
