Editor Button Layout January 11, 2013, 07:42:01 pm Looking at some other editors and thinking about our button layout, not the style, but the order and grouping of the buttons. I know this is rather unimportant but what the heck TodayBold Italic Under StrikePre Left Center RightFace Size ColorFlash Image Link Email FtpGlow Shade MoveSup Sub TtTable Code QuoteBullet List HrRemove SwapAs a thought:Bold Italic Under Strike Sup Sub <- basic style itemsLeft Center Right Pre TT <- layout itemsFace Size Color Remove <- advanced styleBullet List Hr <- lists and stuff hr somewhereTable <- maybe add tr and tdCode Quote <- boxesImage Link Email Ftp Flash <- clicksShade Glow Move <- crapSwap <- toggleI added in my rough reasoning for the groups, and within the groups I tried to put the least used things at the end, so that if they are off the primary group things do not move (much). Other thoughts?

Re: Editor Button Layout Reply #5 – January 16, 2013, 10:05:52 am Good catch ....Not sure how important that color definition on strong is, the comment says having bold slightly lighter balances its apparent darkness. Anyway for the time being I added a bbc_strong class with a color: inherit; ... that should fix it.
Re: Editor Button Layout Reply #7 – January 17, 2013, 07:58:32 pm Nice. But can we hide most of them (including emoticons/smileys)? I mean just display the most important one or it is necessary to immediately display all the buttons and smileys? In gmail, there is one button for emoticons/smileys. All the emoticons/smileys will only be displayed for selection only if the button is clicked. Is that way better or the current one where we show all the images in the Editor when it's opened? May be as an options for user or admin? Just a thought of not displaying all the images unless the user needs it.
