Seeing as the module itself doesn't have a bug report thingi I'm forced to fal back to forum spamming, apologies :)

I'm having some dramas with it. The bar itself works great, does exactly what it's meant to do. I just can't get it to appear on the reply box, which is on the same page as anywhere you can make comments, rather than being on its own page.

Every time I search for it I keep hitting phpbb and vbulletin topics (which are completely unrelated to what I'm after :P).

Someone point me in the right direction please?

thanks!

This thing's starting to tire me out. I've been trying other people's methods of implementing it that seem to work for them but so far no go (hey I even made sure javascript was enabled, it was when I first installed firefox and it was enabled in safari, and still are, so I'm reasonably certain that's not the problem :)

So far I've tried:

drupal_add_js('modules/bbcode_wysiwyg/quick_reply.js');

and

<script src="modules/bbcode_wysiwyg/quick_reply.js" type="text/javascript" />

in the head of page.tpl.php. The former I've also stuck onto node-forum.tpl.php, node.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php. Tried having just the direct script tag, just the drupal_add etc thing just on page, then on everything all at once, nothing works.

Also tried

@import url("../../modules/bbcode_wysiwyg/quick_reply.js");

in the theme's style.css (with and without the ../../ - the background images needed them so I figured it might be needed to import something from the modules as well).

Not only has nothing worked so far for me, but there is no hint of code showing up in the page source.

If anyone can suggest anything that I might be missing, I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Otherwise I'm stuck hoping it fixes itself in about three weeks which is what the alternating colours did to me. Aaargh.

Right there with you buddy. Same issue :(

Ever figured out?

I actually ended up using TinyMCE seeing as it appealed to my graphically happy friends (whom I'm building the site for).

I think at least part of the problem was the #comment_form a { display: none; } css hack that I'd used initially to hide the stupid "More info about formatting options" link.

No idea why it was jutting the logo and stuff though, and I never found out :(

With me it is definitly not a css issue since I tried removing all styles and the formatting bar was still not showing up on the comment forms...

I did however use TinyMCE long time ago but by then I found it quite complicated and I kept having problems with the preformatting. Now I actually just took a better look at the TinyMCE preferences and set is up correctly and it just does the job perfectly, so I'm sticking to it too.

Thanks for the info.

Could somebody please add the BBCode Formatting Bar to the Issue Tracker so issues can be submitted there?

I found the "Try out a demonstration" link of the BBCode Formatting Bar to point to a site that requires registration to post there in order to try out the Formatting Bar. Plus I did not receive an email with my password after registering.
