How to enable markdown toolbar with v3.10.7?

Asked by , Edited by Steve Loveless

I’d like to enable the markdown toolbar (is that what the toolbar above this text_area here is called?) for questions and answers, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this from the Admin site. Is this possible without modifying any of the view code? Can someone clue me in here?

I’m not sure if this is what you want but..

there is a setting for the editor in Admin > Properties > General

Enable user-friendly editor

In my experience.. markdown mode is default.. and this setting turns on the WYSIWYG mode

You know what—I asked the wrong question. You’re right—I was able to do markdown. What I was looking for was how to enable the markdown toolbar. I’ll edit my question.

I was thinking its a backend problem so I asked a backend master blaster and he suggested that the toolbar might go away if javascript was disabled.. ie, front-end issue.. which also makes me wonder ..can you see

<ul class="markdown_toolbar" sourceindex="502" siber__q92dpb7seovvtbh5__vptr="4e81240"><li sourceindex="503">

in the page source .. I can duplicate the missing toolbar by putting

{ display: none; } on the UL

Here’s a screen grab of what I see when I contribute to any Shapado site using default editor.

I can enter the markdown from the toolbar or manually via keyboard..

Is there another markdown toolbar that you are referring too?

Or do you not see what I see ! ?

Yeah, that’s exactly what I see on this site. I want to enable that toolbar on my own custom site; all I get on my site is “Answer the question”, then the text_area box—no toolbar in between.
