Hello,
I will need to "insert code" from a language which uses special characters (namely APL) in my posts.
Is this possible with RTE?
Thanks.

With version 3, you there is a sepporate file called
browser_encoding_inc.asp that allows you to set the page encoding
acorss the whole RTE so that you can use different characters sets.

Hello, THanks you for your answer.
Coming back on my original question, but formulating it a bit differently, is it possible to add a font to the RTE Font Combo Box? with version 2? with version 3?

You can add a font, but unless it's on your viewers machines, they won't see anything except perhaps a default font which may/may not contain the special characters you need to represent APL.
I have over a thousand fonts on my machine, but can only use 5 or 6 for web text as I'm pretty sure 99% of my viewers will have them. Even then I need to specify a default font - like generic san-serif.
The other fonts are just for greating web graphics. -------------

Thank you.
Fine. I know about what you said, but people are not forced to use this additional APL font: only those of my customers who have it will use it if necessary. All the other people will be happy with Arial, Times New Roman, etc. So please, could you tell me how to add a font in the RTE Font Combo Box? Eric

Edit the file 'RTE_iframe_select_font.asp' It's pretty much straight HTML in a table, so just change one of the options in the list to the font you want to use. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thank you for the info.
I think I would have found this file by myself... if I had it in my installation of your Forum, but I don't.
Here are the files I have which names start with RTE:
 Please advise.
Note: I think I run WWF v7.9 since I downloaded and installed it recently and I have RTE v1.2c
Thanks. |

OK I see now. So this isn't anything to do with the Web Wiz RTE, this is a modification you want to make to the editor in web wiz forums. Have a look in the web wiz forums mods and add-ons forum for any mods to do what you require. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi,
Your solution of editing the 'RTE_iframe_select_font.asp' file looked perfect to me. It looked simple anc would definitely solve my problem, I think: I just need to add a new font in the RTE Font Combo Box, that's all.
The only problem is that I do not have the RTE_iframe_select_font.asp in my install of WWF. What should I do to get it, please? Should I upgrade to another version of WWF? Or can I upgrade to another version of RTE without upgrading WWF? If yes, which version: 2.0, 3.0Beta? Please help. Thanks. Eric

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the stand-alone rte, not the rte in the forum.
For the rte in the forum, you need to either change and existing font or add a new one in two types of places - where the font is presented as an option, and where the option is expanded into code.
Files You'll need to change are...
forum_codes.asp
admin/functions/functions_format_post.asp
functions/functions_format_post.asp
functions/functions_edit_post.asp
includes/message_form_inc.asp
includes/RTE_toolbar_1.asp
That's for the rte in forum version 7.9 -------------

Hi,
I have found how to do it. Don't take more of your time to answer these questions.
One needs to simply edit the RTE_toolbar_1.asp file. I made the following change (added the bolded line): If blnFontType Then
Response.Write(vbCrLf & " <select id=""selectFont"" name=""selectFont"" onChange=""FormatText('fontname', selectFont.options[selectFont.selectedIndex].value); document.frmAddMessage.selectFont.options[0].selected = true;"">" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""0"" selected>-- " & strTxtFontTypes & " --</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"">Arial</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""Times New Roman, Times, serif"">Times</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""Courier New, Courier, mono"">Courier New</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"">Verdana</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " <option value=""APLPLUS, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"">APLPLUS</option>" & _ vbCrLf & " </select>")
End If Thanks for all your answers.
Eric
