Thanks Mauno for fixing the issue.

Created patch for this issue.

Hi guys,
Rossi the patch you have for 1.9 is fine, interestingly enough it was already formatting and delivering using FORMAT_HTML.
You will also however need to merge this to head which isn't quite so trivial.
When you have a moment I will run you through the new editor component.
Cheers
Sam

Created patch to fix HTML editor in HEAD.

Hi Rossi, both the 1.9 and 2.0 patch look good thank you.
My +1 for committing these but better check with Martin who I've added as a watcher on this issue

+1 from me!

committed to 1.9.8 and HEAD.

Hi Rosie,

Sorry to reopen this issue, however I can't get the html editor to work in the latest 1.9.7+ despite enabling html format for messages. On the user_bulk_message.php page moodle auto-format is selected by default and there is no html editor. Everything works fine in HEAD though!

PS Just changing the fix version of this issue to 1.9.8 only, as the instructions state "Do not include the current HEAD version unless it's the only one."

Helen,

in addition to personal message settings (you need to have checked "Use HTML editor" there, not just enable HTML format ) check that you have not disabled editor from your user profile (When editing text -> use standard web forms / use HTML editor)

If you are using for example the Complete Windows package it has by default PHP eaccelerator enabled that might also cache changes - see for example http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=131927#p619297

Mauno, thanks a lot for your help. I discovered that the reason for the lack of html editor was because I hadn't checked "Use HTML editor" in my message settings. Once I did so, the html editor displayed fine in 1.9.7+.

Rosie, thanks for fixing this issue and apologies for reopening it unnecessarily!
