WYSIWYGBBCode Editor

http://www.shajul.net/wysiwyg-bbcode-editor/

Download installer @ http://www.shajul.net/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=4 and uniextract. The application files are in the {app} folder. Change the auto check for updates feature under options. Settings written to Options.ini in application folder.

BBCode Editor is not stealth. Writes to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WYSIWYG BBCode Editor]
"Forum"="PHPBB2".

Outstanding suggestion. Its great to have something that works with the PFWC site formatting.

Forgot to mention that it only works with IE and Chrome browsers.

Looks like it was written in AHK.

Works with many different forum formats including vBulletin and ProBoards, but seems to be a little buggy -- couldn't get it to work with smiley faces and a few other quirks.

Sorry for jumping into your discussion.

Only the Post Message feature does not work with other browsers. You can always copy the bbcode and paste.

The smiley faces bug has been fixed. Please let me know what other quirks you have encountered, so that they can be fixed

Curious - if you read the EULA (either from the installer or from the website linked in the first post), you see some standard text at the top. It begins with this:

Quote:

If you scroll down under that, you see a section that begins:

It's a bit strange to see a program with two different sections in the EULA and apparently two different homepages. Reading the EULA further, the top section looks like a copy and paste of the bottom section, just with 'JitBit Software' removed. If you go to the project home as listed in the JitBit section, you see a program called 'WYSIWYGBBCode Editor' (same name as the one from the first post) - but at v1.6 (Not v1.0.1.1 as the program from the first post - admittedly the JitBit link does suggest that "Instead of downloading it is highly recommended getting the latest source codes, all the hottest fixes are there" so it would seem the 1.6 binary is a little out of date). Has the author of this new version just copied the code from the other version and packaged it as their own? Reading the original JitBit EULA, this would seem to be legal (as long as the copyright notice is included with the new binary), but it makes me uncomfortable IMHO.
