Right- I completely understand that the tiny editors are third party addons to reviewpost.
What I need is a workaround to allow all typical formatting, including bullet lists, to appear in a review post product upload.
With the tiny editor turned off, the window to edit the product description is very small and you have to manually add bbcode. Alternately, you can create the review in a regular vBulletin editor and copy/paste the bbcode formatted version to reviewpost. Most formatting works this way, with the big exception of bullet point or numbered lists that I mentioned earlier.
- Have you had any success getting bbcode lists to work on your forum?
With the advanced tiny editor on, you have a bigger editing window which is nice. The problem is that most formatting other than underline does not seem to work once you save, unless you have first copied a formatted post from a regular vbulletin post and pasted to the tiny editor window. Then, you can even add more formatting and it seems to work. I've tested bullet lists, number lists, italics, bold, underline, font size, font color, etc. All seem to work, but ONLY if you copy/paste a post made using the vBulletin editor first. If you create them within the advanced tiny editor, only underline seems to work for some strange reason.
This tells me that it might not be simply an issue with the tiny editors, but some issue with integration to reviewpost and/or vBulletin.
Again, I completely understand that you aren't responsible for the tiny editors, but perhaps someone else might realize what is going on and have a fix that may work. For now, the advanced editor + vbulletin editor copy/paste trick seems workable, if a bit cumbersome.

More information for anyone who might have an idea. I was working with a post I created using just the advanced tiny editor. No formatting but underline was visible once I saved, as expected.
Then, I turned off the tiny editors and examined the post content with no editor. As mentioned, it is all html formatting, which theoretically should not work since I now have html turned off. Yet, for some reason, the formatting still appears fine in posts I copied/pasted from the vbulletin editor.
The difference is this. Even with the editor turned off and html off, this is what the html code looks like with a formatted post created with the advanced tiny editor. Again, only underline appears when viewed. Don't know why.:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
So, I copied over some of the html stuff that was added when I copied/pasted from the vBulletin post, tipped by path information I posted about earlier until I found what made it work. I made the code look like this:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
Success. Now this formatting displays properly with the tiny editor OFF, even though html is turned OFF in the Admin options area. All the formatting works where only underline did before.
I have no idea what "postcontent restore" does or why it was added in the copy/paste trick, but that seems to be what allows the tiny editor to work when you paste over from a vBulletin edited post.
