Hi there,

Regarding your inquiry, unfortunately it is not possible currently.

can you add this as a feature request?

Hm, I am not sure if this is even ideal but is there any reasons for having different editors show up when creating a post on different categories?

The problem is when you pick multiple categories, since EasyBlog allows that. Imagine this scenario,

- categoryA is configured to use TINYMCE
- categoryB JCE
- categoryC (built-in editor).

When you create a post, you pick all 3 categories. Which editor then would it use?

Hi Mark

Firstly the reasons for the 2 configurations is because your composer is designed for doing blog posts which is what it was designed forr, however to make my KB articles it would be fiddly and difficult to use. So for my kb articles I want to use JCE editor which is ideally suited, constant editing of the code, copying the html to notepad++ and doing changes there before pasting it back, extensive use of my custom editor buttons etc...

This would then allow me to have the composer for blog posting but use the standard JCE editor for doing my KB articles.

In the category settings you already do inheritance, could the setting not be added in there?

thanks

It really doesn't matter if it is inherited or not. For instance, if you have a KB category and a Blog category which you have specified different editors.

If your author who doesn't know and try to pick both KB and Blog category, it will fail and cause a lot of quirkness to your layout too.

Just to clarify you mean because you can put a blog article into any catgory, the changing of category could cause issues with the article code?

Yes, in EasyBlog you can set a post to be in multiple categories. If you configure different editors for different category, there is no way to determine which is the correct editor that should be rendered

Last followup, i dont suppose the editor used on a article is stored in the articles record?

You mean Joomla articles? Nope it doesn't store any data on Joomla articles. If you are looking at great authoring experience but having data stored in Joomla articles, you should check out EasyArticles.

not what i meant

Does easyblog stored the selected editor name/state within the easyblog article database record.

Yes, it stores if the post is using the built in editor or a standard wysiwyg editor. But the real problem is when multiple categories are selected.

No problem shoulders

This is a perfect work around for this issue and I am hoping you guy will add this.
