opensource >> Pretty Comments (1,566 views)

Some time ago I came across, a nice jQuery plug-in (jWYSIWYG) that turns regular html textareas into very simple WYSIWYG text editors.

At the time I thought that the plug-in would work really well replacing the normal WordPress comment boxes, and finally I found (made) a little free time to encapsulate jWYSIWYG jQuery plug-in into a simple WordPress plug-in, and you can see it in action on this site.

The plug-in is called Pretty Comments and is free for anyone to use.

    Sorry, but why my images aren´t shown? I tested a local image as well as a web-located image… Also the image dialog in ie8 & firefox looks very different.

    About the first question, if you don’t leave a link to your blog I can’t help you.
    Regarding the second question, the answer is: the image dialog of ie8 and Firefox look very different because ie8 and Firefox are two very different browsers.

    I found a Bug. When Pretty Comments Plugin is enabled, the Editor in the Backend does not work. The buttons to Format the Post are gone. But on the Dashboard the Editor works when i reply from here direct to a comment.

    Is it possible to use this fantastic plugin with any smiley plugin like Custom Smilies of Smiley Themer? By using Pretty comments the smilies are not clickable and don’t appear in the wysisyg editor…

    To use all the original functions just edit jquery.wysiwyg.jsLook for “TOOLBAR”, after that you’ll find all the formatting functions; just change “visible : flase” to “visible : true” to turn on the feature, or viceversa.Bye

    Hello!I use the last version of WP (2.9.2) and it seems your really nice plugin doesn’t work well with it … if this is the reason … I don’t know!Only the “link” function works. I can’t insert a picture, or change the writing (bold, italic, h1, h2 …).You can see my tests on today’s comments on this article : http://sur-les-chemins.toile-libre.org/?p=470Do you plan to update your plugin? It’s so helpful and handy!!Thank you anyway   ;)
