Re: [request] Intergrating this Textile bar?

Hi all, I’m the author of the Control.TextArea library. If someone writes the PHP code for the plugin, I’ll provide any additional features / fixes that the community wants on the JavaScript side (within reason!) and fix any defects that are found. If someone is interested in spearheading that effort please contact me at ryan@livepipe.net , thanks!

What I said was that replacing the current preview mechanism, which is a spam control method, with live preview was not possible at this point, but if anyone could come up with a way to do it I’m listening.

Re: [request] Intergrating this Textile bar?

How did this topic become about live previews?

Anyway I’ve thought of how the Textile Bar could be even more useful. If It let you set you’re own buttons names and their opening and closing tag. So the default set is basic Textile but I could add or remove buttons I want. So if I wanted to give a client a quick way to assign an image with a class of “right” and “shadow” I could make the opening tag “!(right shadow)/images/” and the closing tag “!”. All they need to do is highlight the file name and press the button. Or you could toggle a guided mode that asks you to insert the word you want to wrap in a dialogue box.

I’m sure it just requires a bit of JavaScript to make this.

Just so everyone knows, the preview is optional. That said, is there any interest on the PHP plugin dev side of getting this to work? I’d gladly work on my end of things and my offer still stands…

I still don’t understand what this does that upm_quicktags doesn’t. Is it just the live preview? If we are thinking of using this for the write tab where would the preview be?

I prototyped this with quicktags a few years back before I wrote hak_textile-tags. It doesn’t live preview but that would be trivial to implment. Some of the code is also implemented as the textile add on to upm_quicktags. Seems to work fine in Safari for me.

That’s very cool. I really think a textile tool bar would be a killer app for all client projects. Plus a way to link to the Textile reference manual.
