Pasting into post not working - tartist - 10-06-2019

In the MyBB forum that I am moving away from my users select a block of cells in Excel and paste it into a forum post, simply using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. The result is an unformatted text list. In my CreateMyBB forum editor this behaviour results in a formatted block which when posted changes to hundreds of text characters tagged with [img] [/img]. Actually it was working a few days ago.

How it should work:
Excel cells copied with ctrl-c:

Pasted into old forum editor with ctrl-v. Note, it's become a plain text list:

But here's the same pasted into the CreateMyBB forum editor - note formatting:

And then after posting it. Note the image tags:

Any help will be much appreciated Shy

What I've tried:
I turned off bbcode which worked, but this also disabled [img], [b], etc which I need.

The data in the image tag looks like a png file that is copied?

Try clicking on the "view source" button (last button on the row) before pasting in the Excel cells.

No, its just three numbers in three cells in a spreadsheet, copied and pasted, no images involved. I just did the same on the old forum and it still works there. When I first registered on your site it worked here too.

Edit: as a "proof" that it wasn't a png I pasted it between tags, it pastes text correctly. Then I deleted the php tags and the correct text remains there. Can't ask my users to do that though Big Grin

Thanks liondog, although that works it's not something I could rely on my users doing each time.

For the time being you could go into Admin CP > The users account settings > check "Put the editor in source mode by default" > Save settings. Or you could get them to do the same themselves via their user CP.

liondog, you are a gem. That's just what I need, at least until some genius can find a way of making it the default. Thanks!

Got it!
You can force it globally regardless of UserCP setting in templates -> default templates -> ungrouped -> codebuttons
Comment out the sourcemode variable with // and put MyBBEditor.sourceMode(true);

Code:
MyBBEditor = $("#{$bind}").sceditor("instance");

//{ $ sourcemode }

  MyBBEditor.sourceMode(true);
