WordPress MU

As the title really, I've looked in the database, and the sign-up php files and I cant figure out how to switch on the visual editor by default.

I know a lot of people dislike it, but I think it makes life easier for bloggers.

Also have searched these forums to no avail.

Thanks in advance

upgrade-schema.php is your friend.

Heading there now, thanks.

I changed:

add_option('advanced_edit', 0);

to

add_option('advanced_edit', 1);

For anyone else looking to do the same.

Thanks, it assisted me too. Any idea why it's not on by default? Sounds like a sensible thing to do, seeing as though it's on by default for standard WordPress.

I'm vehemently opposed to enabling the RTE by default until it stops breaking hand entered HTML.

CODE<->VISUAL should be 100% round-trip (apart from banned tags). And if it is going to change tags it needs to tell the user rather than doing it behind their backs.

Currently all <div>'s are turned into <p>'s which breaks any attempt to use microformats with the RTE on WPMU, wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

just being curious, where does the div tags get stripped out? I had a look into the kses.php and the div tag is in the allowed tags list... where I added yesterday a < pull > tag which I use for pullquotes...

so why and where do div tags get stripped out?

It's done in TinyMCE, not kses (that's another kettle of fish as far as not allowing "class" inside various tags!).

There is a hack required in wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php

Ticket on it open here http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3826

and hack described here (seems to work for me):

We're having teh same thread on wp.com as well. They're being changed to p tags I believe.

Regardless, we should not try to diverge too far from WordPress. If WP makes a decision, WPMU should not stray from it simply because the WPMU users are more technical and are more likely to use the quicktags editor.
