In page Composer, is it possible?
-
I think at least the (user-decidable, admin-default-able) option for in-page composer (options for both mobile/non-mobile separately) would be great.
Not sure if I'd use either, since I'm kind-of retro when it comes to mobiles, but understandable concern.It must be said thought that mobile devices make the life hard for devs xD For example they don't provide
handheldsimilar media-restrictions for style-tags.
But since javascript is no problem here you get my +1. -

thank you for your tips -
I'm not going to lie, an "in-page composer" was something we debated implementing a long time ago.
At that time, the composer was still a baked-in part of NodeBB, so it was down to choosing one or the other, and a separate composer (w/ taskbar integration) won over the in-page composer.
But now that the composer is separated from core, this is a possibility once again, done through a plugin.

thank you for the response
in case someone do it as a plugin will be nice but i think the defaults one need some love toosome test video, here at the community and on this topic, homemade, sorry for video quality
iphone 5S, google chrome, no way to edit cause full text not showing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gggdH9G0Xrsiphone 5S, safari, quoting ok but no way to search full text after a few tries
ipad air, safari, flickering on first tick, then madness can happen, this one lets you move around the quoted text though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvKxMPo34NwIt is not a criticism because I love nodeBB but should be a priority to write well in a forum

Just to let you know, I do realize that the mobile composer can be better. Been a bit busy with other stuff the past month or so but it's definitely on my TODO list. Just in case you were worried that we were actually happy with what we have right now and have no plans to improve it

bumping this. 3 months passed and the experience on ios is even worse with composer flickering here and there
and i,m wondering...
Will this fixed composer come on 1.0 launch? -
@exodo I've been working on composer improvements. Sadly, debugging on iOS is really hard for me because
- I have no iOS device
- There's no profiler or JS console
Anyways, I'd suggest upgrading to
[email protected]and seeing how that works for you. -

[email protected]and seeing how that works for you.I use last one on 0.9.1, i think it uses that version. anyways all my test are always on this community
I can post a new videoI use last one on 0.9.1 on my local or here in community
Didnt make a difference from the past versionsThings like this happen everytime
And long text post are impossible to manage, cant move text, sometimes you get stuck and cant see what you typing etc
If I try to edit a post cant edit first lines cause i cant reach them thats why this posts have a repeating intro hehe
Iphone 5s ios 9.1

@exodo I have no way of knowing what is causing that bug, but I'm pretty sure this community isn't on the latest composer.

any update on the plans for improvements in mobie composer UX ?

@gingerman What's wrong with mobile composer UX?
@exodo Redactor published today, plus updated autosize dependency (a couple weeks ago), so perhaps better on iOS now?
never used redactor on production cause it lacks many funcionts from composer.
This thread was about composer default. it works bad on ios not really big improvements -
In mobile, if you write a longer post than the screen size, you can't move up or down to edit. For example, on my Samsung A3, you can't highlight text outwith what's viewable on screen, or even move your text input area to find text that's not there.
For short posts it's fine, for longer it's better to type on the memo or notes app then copy/paste it in.
That's using both default composer now on 1.0.2 and Redactor when we had it installed pre-1.x.x

@Danny-McWilliams Thanks for the report... we use this library, though I'm not sure if you can reproduce it on that textarea in that site.
I was hoping us upgrading to the latest version of that lib would help, but it seems like it's still not working as well with that phone you have.
-
@julian it's really only noticed when typing a long post or copying quotes from a newspaper article in, most posts are short so it's not a big issue.
-
@julian the CSS only version I worked on should fix most of these issues.
