Why not adapt this module even to TinyMCE?

i second that - there are lots of requests out there for this feature!

Sure, I'm all for WYSIWYG editors.

So who is going to do it and how? I'm not familiar with TinyMCE myself.

I have no idea how you got it to work. Can you please explain more thoroughly. If I type something, it translates the brackets into ampersand code so that they read "properly." end of story. any ideas?

Havin the out of box functionality associated with this module linked to a button in TinyMC when both modules are installed would continue to push Drupal's user friendlyness to end users.

I'm working on a Drupal 6 website for a charity that is writing a collaborative academic paper, and i need to use either footnotes or biblio to organise the references, currently 200+.

I'm using Book to organise the chapters of the paper and I have FCKEditor running. I need the wysiwyg funtionality but this breaks both footnotes and biblio. As the tags are treated as text and are simply printed.

There is a small ($500) budget for the whole project so i am willing to pay for a solution to this issue, as the maintainer would you be interested in this and if so how much would you want?

Hi Edward

I have good news for you: Footnotes will work with FCKEditor and TinyMCE when we switch to support square brackets instead of angle brackets. I mean [fn] instead of <fn>. You can the write the square brackets manually directly into your wysiwyg editor. I intend to implement this in July. But next week I'll be traveling. See #268026: Allow square bracket syntax for more details.

I've understood that the Biblio module supports using footnotes (in the background) now, so once I implement this you can still choose which one to use.

And best of all, I have no need to take money from your charity :-) The only problem was that until a few weeks ago I didn't know how to solve this issue.

That's Brilliant news! Thanks for the response and all of your work on this module! I've spoken to the Biblio maintainer, he thought that it was a really big issue that would need a a patch on the FCKEditor side to fix it and he didn't have the time, so i think i'll let him know about the possibility of using [bib] rather than if no one has brought it to his attention yet. Thanks again.

Edward

I should be able to do the same in biblio without to much problem, so they can all play happily together again :-)

I have now enabled Footnotes to support [fn]square brackets[/fn]. This should be usable in WYSIWYG editors. This should be available in the 6.x-dev development snapshot within 12 hours. (In the case of Footnotes, you can use the 6.x compatible version also with earlier versions of Drupal.)

If you try it out, please provide feedback here.

See #268026: Allow square bracket syntax for details.

Good news: TinyMCE integration was now implemented by elgreg! See #464066: Footnote button for TinyMCE
