Call for testers: new Online Editor

Friday 18 July 2008 9:46:46 am

New version out ( 5.0.0rc ), some bits:
* Removed CustomAttributeStyleMap since it caused embed-inline / custom inline tags to be converted to a font tags by the browser if you for instance used 'color' style for text-color.
* Added CompatibilityMode in ezoe.ini to make editor behave like OE 4.x in respect to embed tags (attachment icons) if enabled
* Added bookmarks tab in upload dialog
* Fixed: Extra paragraphs in literal tags if double line feeds where used.
* Updated TinyMCE to 3.1.1 (trunk), fixes several issues in Opera
* Fixed #013178: Duplicate embed object when I change "paragraph" to "title"
* Implemented #013368: Include image size attributes in the editor-created image tags
* Added Norwegian translation

Gaetano:
- literal tags has some changes in this version, could you re try and create a issue if it's still there?
- anchors : Yes, they don't really have content, so made that more clear in this version.
- view: I'm not certain I want to disable it, maybe someone uses it for some reason..
- ezdhtml: Added it to faq and install file

ALL, I would like to have some feedback on the following:

- Would it be best to enable DevelopmentMode by default? (maybe rename it then to for instance PackingMode and describe it as a performance feature)

- Even though the attachment icon has it's limitation, it also has it good sides (being able to be dragged around and placed anywhere in the text), what do you think?
( enable CompatibilityMode in ezoe.ini to test )

- (in the path) Should I rename tr / td / th to be more editor friendly, if so, what about: table row / table cell / table heading ? or simply: row / cell / heading ?

- In the same spirit, what about: ol / ul / li ? ordered list / unordered list / list item ?

I agree as well. Anything that will make training easier for our users is appreciated.

> I'd prefer if you used "table row" etc since that's more easy for novice users to understand.

So if you select a cell you will get this path:
... table > table row > table cell

But since their always child of a table, wouldn't this be just as intuitive (and saving some path space):
... table > row > cell

But of course, you can end up in situations like this then:
... table > row > heading > heading 3

aka

<table>
    <tr>
    <th>
        <h3>...

> is it possible to filter the objects displayed in the browse list? The objects which can be
> chosen (radio button) should be limited e.g. to images (if i choose the image icon).

Not currently, I didn't implement it because you still need the containers to be able to browse.
But would this work?:
Filter out all but containers and images, and hide the radio button on the containers?

Some notes on translating OE that might help:
* ts file should use Unix line breaks ( using notepad++: Format -> Convert to Unix format )

* some of the context'es shouldn't really be in there since they are re use of translations from ezp (for instance design/admin/content/edit and design/admin/content/search and so on)
I have fixed this in trunk.

* OE 5 caches the translations used in TinyMCE in \var\<site_name>_site\cache\javascript as long as DevelopmentMode is disabled, also remember that ezp has a Character transformation cache.

I have fixed the "Definition term " string in trunk, If you have more feedback (places you would like to have translation comments or something else) just contact me on jabber.
Also synced untranslated.ts with Nor-NO so it is up to date on the i18n strings.

I eventually made the translation work, some childish mistakes ;) Thanks for the tips, though.

Some further issues:
1) When I press elements in the path (Firefox 3), the popup opens, but it goes under the main window instead of staying on top.
2) New table popup - I don't think all the phrases have been translated or pass through i18n operator (don't have time to check that, though...): "Cols", "Rows". Also other phrases in other windows, like "No results were found when searching for...".
3) Send for publication/store draft icons are exactly the same - shouldn't they vary a bit?

Is there a way to add styles to the "Format" select menu?

Right now you can only choose between Literal, Paragraph or H1 through H6.

I would like to add my own styles and have them previewed in the editor and select menu.

André and all,

Will there be any way of using the same MCE editor for other textareas, in pure HTML mode?

I will have some extensions that require MCE editor, and now it might have to double its installations. Do you think it would be possible to use just the one bundled with OE, and if not now - would you consider such option in the future?

Thanks,
Piotrek

<i>So you'll get a stock tinyMCE editor, but that is what you want isn't it?</i>

Yup, and it seems to work fine. I just wonder if that's a good approach, or maybe I should include TinyMCE in my extension anyway...

I have a problem with copy paste, when the content contains several <br><br>. The final version on ez has "cleaned" it to keep only one <br> (hence a different space between the "paragraphs".

But this isn't a new problem is it? You have the same problem in the old editor?
I did face this issue a while back while going over the documentation for the new editor with the doc team, and from what I remember this is a 'feature' of the ez xml handler and not the editor. Basically the line tag requires content, so if you add a whitespace on each new line it will currently not remove the <br> tag.

Hi,

Two questions about customising the oe:

1) Is it possible to avoid resizing the pop-up size ?
I'm on FF, with new windows opening in a new tab. When I upload an image, the dialog goes to a new tab (so far so good), but then it resizes it, and it obviously resize FF window, not only the dialog tab

Is it possible to just open the dialog without having it resizing itself ?

2) The HeaderN & other classes are customised for the site of course, how is is possible to embed a css into the editor iframe so it's more WYSIWYG ?

Otherwise, it works much better than the previous oe so far. Well done!
