hak_tinymce WYSIWYG article editor

mrdale · 2006-01-11 22:29:32

Thinking radical here, but bear with me. How about a drop-down “wysiwyg editor” select menu with the following options:

on for body
on for excerpt
on for both
off

That way it allows all the options without using up too much acreage.

What do you think?

That seems like a good setup to me.

Just as a comparison, Joomla has it setup where it is either off for a user or on, but there is an editor in both the article field and the excerpt field. That looked kinda busy but it seems to work well.

The main thing that I notice when using TinyMCE is that it takes awhile to load up in the form. If you have to do two it seems like a lot of waiting but maybe not as much as pulling up the html code then cutting and pasting. If it could be setup to automatically load in the desired manner when the page opens, that would be very helpful. If it could be set for each user instead of site wide, that would be ideal.

Just installed this in 4.03 and the Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikeout don’t work. Anyone have the same problem?

Do any of the other buttons work? Are you getting any errors? Are any other plugins running in the write tab? Also make sure you are accessing the site through the exact same url that is in your Admin -> Preferences -> Site URL. If that has a www make sure you are using the www. Browsers won’t grab javascript from what they perceive as other domains for security reasons. I’m working of fixing this.

You can currently set the editor to come up by default by changing the global Textile settings to leave text untouched. Could probably cerate an admin panel that would allow you to be more specific with what you want to actually happen. I’m also thinking a good option would be to offer the GZiped .JS as an option for speed, if your server supports it, It’s in the current distribution the plugin code would just need to be changed to use it if you are really having issues with speed.

Unfortunately textpattern doesn’t seem to really have a setup for userl level options yet, I could see about making my preferences pane user aware but I’m not sure how involved that is.

All buttons except the 4 I mentioned work.
Getting no errors.
No other plugins on the write tab.
Accessing through the right url.

If you need anything else let me know.

Cheers, Lee.

What browser are you using?

Is everything straight out of the zip? (ie: you haven’t altered the plugin code at all).

Check to see if you see the same behavior on the official demo at moxiecode just to rule out that it’s something with tinyMCE itself.

Also if you could post or send me the source for your write page that can help a ton, because It allows me to see if anything is different in how things are getting called.

I downloaded and used the tinyMCE php gzip compressor that is located on the Moxiecode site and that works wonderfully. It makes the editor load a lot faster.

jerry · 2006-01-18 17:30:34

Is anyone having trouble with some of the buttons in tinyMCE not working. I can’t get bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, numbering or bullets to work. Other things like the link button, paragraph alignment and style list work fine?

hakjoon · 2006-01-18 18:09:12

Lee above mentioned the same problem but I never got any more info from him to troubleshoot it. I’ve still been unable to replicate it so I don’t know what causes it.

Any chance you could post the page source up somewhere? That way I can see if it’s something being called inproperly or something. Are you running any other plugins in the write tab?

lee · 2006-01-18 18:12:37

I had the same problem, but when I went back to the site yesterday, after changing nothing, it started working!

hakjoon · 2006-01-18 18:14:06

I’m trying to see if I can find some info from the moxiecode forums on this but so far no luck. I’m glad you got it working.

Also please let me know what browsers this is happening on. Specially if it works on one and not another.

Any more thoughts on bending this plugin to work in the excerpt field too? It would be nice to not require users to learn textile or HTML just for the excerpt.

BTW: I know you are working on a lot of stuff mrJoon. Don’t want to be annoying, just curious.

hakjoon · 2006-02-01 19:55:58

I actually have this pretty much working. I’m just trying to incorporate tinyfly’s request for no editor for an article originally created with textile and then it’s out.

I’m hoping by this weekend, actually I might release it this weekend either way since the excerpt functionality is working already. I ended up having 2 checkboxes for the editor excerpt and article. That seemed like the best way to accomodate all the options without a bunch of logic gymnastics.

My workload at work is easing up so I’m hoping to have some more time to work on TXP.
