I just shifted our elogs to a new server and in the process upgraded to the latest debian version which is 2.5.9+r1674-1. I am just wondering how to change the default for the text body area from "elcode" to plain text? I can't see anything in the admin configuration syntax guide and the HTML default = 2 option no longer seems to work.


The HTML default option has been replaced by the Default encoding option, with which one can set the default encoding style to plain text (Default encoding = 1).

Also is there anything in particular that you have to do to get the elcode editor to work. Although the elcode buttons appear highlighting text and clicking on them doesn't actually do anything although it works fine in my browser when using these elog forums. I don't get any errors in mozilla but trying it in IE under cxoffice gives an "error on page" message in the bottom of the browser.


The ELCode editor requires the JavaScript file elcode.js to be present in the scripts directory under your elog root directory. Future installations will handle this correctly.
