Quill Editor Lacking
Quill does not have all the functions that Froala editor did. I write Articles and News Post and the features mentioned below give the post character. We had additional featured added such as tables, font families with font sizes, horizontal line, inline style, print, download PDF and it will allow copy and paste graphic and photo files in the text body(which I am not able to do with this editor). We had the ability to embed the code below and have it in text body(not here):
<iframe width="640" height="360" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border: none;" src="https://www.bitchute.com/embed/8lgYL8eZ5bw/"></iframe>
It adds it as an attachment instead like the url links below(deleted iframe attachment)
This limited editor may be open source now but the Internet of Things almost always migrates to a fee schedule eventually.
Been looking for an alternative like Froala and came across one that has a reasonable "One-time purchase with NO recurring fees. All licenses are perpetual and include 1 year of free software updates" and code purchase is available.
If I continue to develop my UNA based site a Full Featured Rich Text Editor is a must. May be offered as a premium add on or have the files uploaded and pay the fee myself?

Will this allow embed cards for articles appear seamlessly? I would jump on this idea as my network will be filled with news feed and articles. Quill doesn’t cut it at all

I believe you can use Embedley if you wanted to but it's $9 a month. Works great for YouTube videos

I think UNA would need access to the source code to make it constantly compatible and that's $4000

what About articles? My quill isn’t working at all- even regular editor featured like Bold and underline. Is it just me?
-
Can you post anything?
-
HI @Will Roberts - I can post, but cannot use the text editor to change text into 'bold, italics, underline, centre etc". Those are dummy buttons. I also have trouble posting previews to links- the only links that show up are iframely- in a compact card version. But if I type text after embedding the links - then it has errors and becomes double.
-
Did you add all the buttons in all the editor forms in Developer?
-
no, can you explain what and how to do that?
-
it currently looks like this:

Even images I insert into the post do not come in the timeline feeds
-
Okay I seemed to have solved the issue with the images - I had "brief cards enabled" in timeline - so I unchecked that and now images do pop up on timeline feeds. I also changed mini editor to "standard" on text boxes and now the bold, underline, and italics function! yay. Alignment does not work. As for link previews I'll have no choice but to stick with iframely as that is the only one working for me.

Sorry for the late response and iframely I believe is the alternative to Embedley
-
Do you know why iframely is showing just the compact card and not the full size?
-
I don't use iframely just Embedley
