My forum at http://www.dieterkoenig.at/forum is about an online football manager. Members often copy stuff from the manager game and paste it in the forum. But that text is always formatted from the manager game. It would be better to paste it in the forum as plain text. Is that somehow possible?
There is such option in TinyMCE when I write pages or articles in WP - so is it possible to add that function to the forum too?

I dont believe the default wp tinymce has that option… you may be running a plugin that mods it that way since I know some exist…
the easiest way is to use quicktags for the pasting as it strips it out… you could also use the html button and paste it to strip it out… I suspect those two options are not what you really want…
In version 3.2, we plan to strip out our tinymce and use the version included with wp so whatever you have going on with tinymce in you wp, you will get the same stuff in spf… thats not really as easy as it sounds, but its in our plans for 3.2…
not sure I can help you more than my other suggestions until then… if you search these forums you can find some other topics with how to add more buttons to our tinymce and perhaps tinymce plugins… if you dont mind getting your hands dirty with code, you can make some custom mods to do what you want… otherwise, you are going to have to wait for 3.2 where you will get you wp tinymce setup in spf…

another work around, which requires extra steps for your users, is to paste the text into a simple editor, such as notepad, where it will strip out all the formatting and then recopy it and paste into tinymce.. again, surely not what you are looking for though….

Thanks for the help. Well yes, I need a solution that is as simple as possible for my users.
For the first, I changed to QuickTags, I think that will be ok for the beginning. I might change back to TinyMCE as soon as SPF supports the same version that runs with WP.
And you are right, I added some buttons to TinyMCE. That “Insert plain text” function is not a standard in WP.
Thanks again!

you can do the same to tinymce here in the forum… there is a tinymce folder under the simple-forum plugin folder… you should be able to do a similar mod…
when you are able to move to the wp tinymce with our 3.2, you base wp mods should still work…

I'd add that we have the same problem here with people pasting in text from other sources. have not yet found any foolproof way to deal with it…

Well, I changed a few times between TinyMCE and QuickTags and stayed with QT now as it brings better results in my forum with the loads of copy & paste from users.
I have SPF also on my second website and there I stay with TinyMCE because there is almost no copy & paste.
I think your idea of implementing the TinyMCE installation that runs in WP is a good idea. I installed the TinyMCE Advanced Plugin and that has a button for pasting plain text - works pretty well. On the other hand - you have to tell your users - or “educate” your users - that they should paste formatted text via the plain text function, oh well …

I have installed TinyMCE Advanced for the admin functions in WP of course, not in the forum.

'educating your users' is the difficult part!
