I understand that I can specify the "Default Editor" for ALL authors on the settings page.

I wonder if I can specify a different editor than the default editor for a specific author(s). For example, can I specify that the author Mr-XYZ uses the editor "Editor - JCE", while everybody else uses "Bult in - EasyBlog Composer"?
Hey there,

Currently, It is not possible to do that at this point of time.

Can we change the editor used per post, when we create a new post?

Hey Polished Geek,

Currently it only respect the global setting from backend > Easyblog > setting > editor > Default Editor .

It's actually the default behavior of EasyBlog 5. When a post was initially created using a WYSIWYG editor, it will use the WYSIWYG editor for future editing.

Thanks for the update. Do you have any plans to provide a way for a particular author to use their preferred editor? We have a client with multiple internal and external authors and many of the in-house authors are most familiar with JCE, while externally the block editor of EasyBlog is simplest for those who aren't frequent Joomla users. It's frustrating to have to force people who use JCE all of the time elsewhere in Joomla to use a completely different editor.

Hey there,

Thanks for your input.

We will see if we can do something about it in EasyBlog 5.3.

I second this feature request. It seems very odd to me that there is a global default that can't be overridden by a specific author's settings. Per your documentation you clearly used to have an author-specific editor setting.

Personally, I hate editors. Too much nonsense code added, I prefer to code myself. But, I have authors that can't do that, so they need to use an editor.

I also find it odd that, if the default is set to an editor (e.g. TinyMCE) I have the ability to toggle it off in the composer view. But, if the default is no editor, I cannot toggle the editor on.
