RTE Comments

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   In WP-v 4.1 the tinymce toolbar-keys-names changed from ‘theme_advanced_buttons[1-4]‘ to ‘toolbar[1-4]‘. This means u cant controll what buttuns are shown (everytime default was shown).. U need to change line 153 to 167 in class RTE_Comments (function rteCommentForm) Thats the new Codesnippet … /** * Replace the standard comment form field with TinyMCE. * * @access private * @since 1.0 * @param (sting) $comment_field The HTML for the comment form field. * @return (string) The HTML for the TinyMCE comment field. */ public static function rteCommentForm( $comment_field ) { ob_start(); wp_editor( '', 'comment', array( 'media_buttons' => false, // show insert/upload button(s) to users with permission 'textarea_rows' => '10', // re-size text area 'dfw' => false, // replace the default full screen with DFW (WordPress 3.4+) 'tinymce' => array( //Changed array key's form 'theme_advanced_buttons[1-4]' to 'toolbar[1-4]' .. and all things go their way right ^-^ 'toolbar1' => 'bold, italic, underline, |, bullist, numlist, |, justifyleft, justifycenter, justifyright, |, link, unlink, |, pastetext, pasteword, removeformat, |, undo, redo', 'toolbar2' => '', // 2nd row, if needed 'toolbar3' => '', // 3rd row, if needed 'toolbar4' => '' // 4th row, if needed ), 'quicktags' => array( 'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,code,close' ) ) ); $comment_field = ob_get_clean(); return $comment_field; } Nice Plugin, thanks for ur work! 🙂

   This plugin is under-rated. It is exactly what I needed to give my users more posting options on their comments. Thanks.

   plugin does exactly what I need – adds a wysiwyg editor. Easy to customize as a developer as well as the script are very well written.
