ebl_quill_editor: Quill Integration for Textpattern

I’ve developed a plugin that replaces the standard Body and Excerpt textareas in Textpattern’s Write panel with the Quill rich text editor. Quill provides a modern editing experience with features like headings, formatting tools, media embedding, and more.

If you’re looking for a clean, flexible WYSIWYG editor for Textpattern, you can download it here.

This does away with the need for TinyMCE and its 1000 limited uses.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Re: ebl_quill

Cool! Always nice to have a new option.

One of the aspects that has hampered the adoption of other editors up to now – at least for me – has been the inability to use txp::shortcodes in the body and excerpt fields. I’m guessing that’s not possible here as the content is probably not parsed?

Re: ebl_quill

It supports shortcodes now as of 5 minutes ago.

    // Sync Quill content back to the hidden textarea, preserving shortcodes
    quillBody.on('text-change', function() {
      var htmlContent = quillBody.root.innerHTML;

      // Convert encoded <txp::...> back to raw shortcodes
      htmlContent = htmlContent.replace(/&lt;(txp::[a-zA-Z0-9_:]+)([^>]*)&gt;/g, '<$1$2>');

      // Update the textarea
      $body.val(htmlContent);
    });

    // Load initial content from the textarea, then encode shortcodes for Quill rendering
    var initialContent = $body.val();
    initialContent = initialContent.replace(/<(txp::[a-zA-Z0-9_:]+)([^>]*)>/g, '&lt;$1$2&gt;');
    quillBody.root.innerHTML = initialContent;
  }

I’ve tried this on 4.8.8, 4.9.0.dev-1, and 4.9.0.dev-2 and I got nothing.

Am I missing a setting? Or a install?

Re: ebl_quill

It turns out I was missing a setting. When you click on a plugin, there is a new panel that allows one to edit the loading order, etc.

This plugin defaulted to ‘public’. I changed it to ‘back end’ and it works great.

Thank you for the work, The Eric.
