bbcode as default when creating a thread

[Former Member]

how do i make the post edit box of your created thread bbcode as default, instead of preview pls.

i know u can do it in profiles but im wanting it for the whole site, my members are complaining soundcloud button isnt working, it is but the souncloud box doesnt show when its on previe, so they and me have been thinking its broke but it isnt.

im sure iv done this before but i cant remember where 

thx

Hi, @joecool111.

Each person has to set their own in their profile (Profile > Edit Profile > Settings (tab) > Posting Default). This is an individual setting, so you can't do this for them. You'll just need to instruct them on how to set it to BBCode for default.

i understand thank you, but im wanting to make it default like preview is.

Its starting problems, and i dont want to spend the rest of my life explaining this to ever member lol.

Is there a quick code i can change this pls msg ?

You can't. It's an individual setting and it's set at Preview by default - you can't change this. Each Member has to change their own as I described above.

Because it's a profile setting, there's no code that you can use to force this. Should I tag a red to confirm?

yes pls msg, i trust u its just that im sure iv done this before, and theres an other member just opened a thread here wanting the opposite of me

Well, the reds will check this thread anyways when they get to it, so just be patient and I'm sure one of them can confirm or not confirm this. I'll stop posting so as not to bump it anymore.

@joecool111 unfortunately there's not a work around for this as Lynx stated. Don't know if it would help but here's the help guide on how to change the default. You could mass PM/Email this? or include it if you have a welcome to new members message??

It can be accomplished programmatically as shown in the Disable Preview Tab code and I am well aware that this is not what is being requested since that code not only changes the default to bbcode (despite user preference --hissss! boo!!) but also completely hides the preview tab. The code does however contain the following line which achieves the stated goal 


//force bbcode editor upon WYSIWYG load
this.options.defaultEditor = 'bbcode';
