HTML WYSIWYG Editor for Geeklog

Authored by: jlhughes on Wednesday, January 01 2003 @ 02:38 pm EST

I've been incorporating HTMLAREA's WYSIWYG into a site where users are very HTML dumb. They are going to love this -- at least those who have MSIE 5.5 or better.

For those who don't, I wanted the site to default to plain text postmode.

Here's how I handle changing the $_CONF[postmode] based on browser type and version.

I've added this code to lib-custom.php


//HACK FOR DETERMINING HTMLAREA COMPATIBILITY
//make user agent into an array
$browser = explode(' ',$HTTP_USER_AGENT);
//Get key for MSIE if in the array
$i = array_search('MSIE',$browser);
//if found MSIE
if ($i > 0)
{
//Get MSIE version, trim trailing ; 
    $browserver = rtrim($browser[$i+1],";");
//check version is at least 5.5
    if (floatval($browserver) >= 5.5)
      $_CONF[postmode]='html';
} ELSE {
      $_CONF[postmode]='plaintext';
}

That's it. Now those users who can use HTMLAREA's features (MSIE v.5.5 or greater) get default HTML and those who will get a vanilla textarea get plain text as default.

NOTE: I have tested this on MSIE v.6 and NETSCAPE 6, both on Windows. I haven't had a chance to check this on other platforms or with MSIE less than 5.5.

Looks like you are missing an ELSE for IE < 5.5. Your $_CONF['postmode'] variable doesn't get set in this case.

Cheers,
Jens, grumbling about "IE 5.5 or better" = Mozilla. ;)
