    Hi,

    How easy to change the text fields to an editor (wysiwyg).

    I want to do this so that I format correctly the content. Now I have to format in a separate app and copy into text fields of checklist.

    It seems like you missed a trick here?

    Can you not create template, with settings to change ul/ol

    e.g.

    1. <div>Tiny MCE editor content</div>
    2. <div>Tiny MCE editor content</div>

      3. etc…

      thanks

    Hi tammyponsah,

    from what I understand, you would like to use a wysiwyg-editor for the items of the checklist instead of simple textfields.

    The plugin does not support this feature. The main idea of the checklist items is to put short descriptions in there, like “take the trash out”. If you need something fancier, you can use HTML. I understand that formatting can be tough if you don’t know any HTML, but a wysiwyg-editor would be an overkill for the majority of use-cases.

    Cheers,
    Jonas

    Hi Jonas,

    Thanks for the reply.

    The way your script is formatted, it is difficult to style as you put everything into a <p class=”checked”> <label> <input />….</label> </p>

    I think it will be much easier to control styling using the built in functionality of a HTML list element. <ul class=”checked”>

    • <input /> any html content here

    • I think It will make the plugin more useful! not fancier!

      But that’s just my opinion. Cheers!

    Okay, thank you for your input. One way you can go in terms of styling is to wrap the shortcode in a div with a certain class, then use this class for your css rules. Or feel free to change the code of the plugin, it’s not very complicated. The HTML you mentioned is in line 113 of the frontend-checklist.php ??

    PS: Looks like you destroyed this thread, maybe put all your HTML code in backticks or use the code button on top of the textfield ??
