Hi,

I do a trip report on my motorcycle forum for riders/travelers to stay up to date of my traveling and possible host/help if I run into any issues and I write blogs on my personal website for family & friends to read about my trip. So with that said, the motorcycle forum use same editor as seen in NibbleBlog but not seen here so I do see a problem.. I did a test of posting photo from Photobucket to see which one would work:

See test blogs here: http://www.whicheveranywaycan.com I posted result of direct, html, bbc, etc and you can see the result on the page. The idea was to type one blog and then copy/paste without doing much of editing. Keep in mind that when traveling outside the USA, the chance of good wifi connection become very less likely and connection will be difficult.

Test 1: I insert the link from Photobucket into your editor link. No work.

Test 2: Direct link into the field without using the editor button. No work.

Test 3: Using the HTML link and it worked, but this won't work in motorcycle forum so not what I am looking for.

Test 4: Using BBCode and it doesn't work. But BBCode would work in forum.

Any suggestion??

The base of all editors is HTML. BBCode is a sort of abreviation, that is used by some boards. Markdown is another used by the default editor of Bludit. So it depends which editor is used.

Therefore you can either use the HTML code of Photobucket with a link to the portal or embed the image as follows:

Code: Select all

Hi Edi,

Thanks for taking the time to answer but the answer you gave is in HTML and that would not work with the motorcycle forum. The img src code you provide is actual HTML code. That's the problem.

I would need something in BBC or would at least display a direct link.

Isn't there some kind of BBC plugin??

I suspect that a properly installed Plugin of Ckeditor may solve the problem but for some reason I am very unclear of how to properly install the ckeditor? :( I tried loading into plugin folder but getting error link on top of plugin page in the admin section. I tested it as a standalone in the hosting and it display ok but not sure how to get it to work in the New Post or New Page?

No, there is no editor or plugin for Bludit to convert BBCode to HTML. And it makes in my opinion no sense to use a forum based code as replacement for HTML for a content management system. HTML gives you a lot of freedom in structuring and styling the content, BBCode is very limited.

But there are some online converters you can use.

As explained, piss poor wifi/internet connect in 3rd world so it is not like I will be able to surf much website online.. just if I can upload enough images and get one blog submitted then copy/paste into forum and all done.

I upload Ckeditor plugin folder into bl-plugin, and went to the plugin page in admin.. this is what I am getting:

Then why not use a forum that allows HTML?

For example Fred's Flatboard allows it:

http://flatboard.free.fr

And it is much more faster than others. ;-)

NibbleBlog would have been perfect.. but apparently discontinued..

Forum wouldnt work because I'm looking for something that can integrate with facebook for fb users to comment. Don't suggest WordPress as it's too big to load.

If nothing else then oh well!
