Visual mode for PhpBB??

New Member Joined: Feb 11, 2009 Posts: 23

Greetings all! I hope I'm posting in the right place. For some reason I cannot find out where to enable "Visual Mode" for myself or my posters. My website is www.forbidden-lore.com .

Is there a setting I am missing, or is visual mode not available for PhPbb that comes with ravennuke? Thanks!

What makes you think you need to turn on "Visual Mode" - I assume you have read something somewhere about "Visual Mode" so I'm trying to understand your question because I cannot think of what you might mean.

The closest thing I can think of is "Enable Visual Confirmation".. and that only applies if the users are registering through the Forums itself.

Sorry. I'm probably using the wrong terminology. Back in the day when I used postnuke, anytime myself, or my users, clicked on the txt box to a forum reply it would ask "would you like to use visual mode?". If you clicked yes it would put up the formating options so that any formating you chose, (Like MS Word - where you can click on a button for bold, itallics, center, image, ...etc..etc), would come up and automatically put in the html code for you.

Most forums it comes standard without asking for such confirmation if a user wants to use that type of mode.

For example - if I want bot BOLD a word I have to "[ b] [/b]". Where as in visual mode I could just highlight the text, click on "B" and it would bold it for me without me having to put in any coding.

I hope that explains it!

Great idea, but the download link doesn't work. Apparently the author of the mod is having some home issues and has closed shop until further notice. Hmmm but there might be other mods out there that will do something similar.

My only aprehension is how compatable they will be with RavenNuke.

PS. I believe that Raven is using phpBB Forums version 2.0 - are there any plans to upgrade to the newest edition which is version 3.0??

LOL. Toolbox and the others at Nuke Korea have already ported phpbb3 to nuke. You can download it from there. BTW.... Excellent work and thank you Toolbox.

If you haven't guessed i'm very new and green to all this - i'm doing my best but i'm not so good with the terminology..etc...etc. Please bare with me...

Thank you toolbox, btw. I suppose I should google Nuke Korea and find the D/L? I'm just skiddish because it seems like every time I upgrade something my World of Warcraft skin goes to crap, or I mess up the Raven CMS. I'm very interested in hiring someone to help manage the site to get it to where I want - if any are interested.

Again - sorry and thank you for your patience.
