Has anyone integrated a different HTML editor into EZ Publish 3.1?
The online editor isn't user friendly enough for my clients and the XML feature really isn't important to them. I would just like to integrate one of the more full featured WYSIWYG editors into EZ rather than use the OE.

Well, there has been a lot of talk about integrating different editors. I myself have an interest in this because of the lack of support for anything other than Internet Explorer in the current OE. But the "XML feature" you talk about is not really something you could be without though, for any WYSIWYG editor to work properly with eZ Publish you need to make it send XML back to eZ .. of course you could possibly wrap all content in a HTML block, but that would not be very nice eventually .. I am not sure what has come of the thought of integrating something with eZ other than OE ..

short answer: There may be one coming soon. long answer: At the ez conference we discussed the possibility of getting a linux online editor into ez. The end result was that the community would likely develop such a project but initially ez would do the work to integrate an open source editor (possibly http://bitfluxeditor.org/) to get us started... Although we linux users need this it should work on any platform. Paul

``Although we linux users need this it should work on any platform.'' ...but only on mozilla & derivatives. jeroen.

Regarding Bitflux: I think its best to wait a few more weeks for the next release before deciding anything. It will have webdav support, so it should not be too hard to implement. The fact that mozilla is necessary doesn't bother me too much: at least you increase the number of platforms and it won't be worse compared to installing the ezp DE. -paul

Whatever happened to this project? Did anyone successfully integrate a full featured WYSIWYG editor into ez? Cheers, Fraser

Hi,
"BXE 1.0 is a completely rewritten Editor. It has not much in common
anymore with the "old" Bitflux Editor." It is Version 0.93 a bugtesting release for 1.0.
You can test it and help them with your reports. You can try to put it into ez.
[...]

Thanks Ekke for the excellent summary on the issue. If anyone has already integrated an xml editor into ez publish (newer than HTMLArea 1.0) it would be fantastic if they could share which one and how they did it in one of these threads. Even better, an extension in the contributions section would be fantastic. I know that a free editor would compete with and undermine sales of ez's Online Editor, but a wysiwg editor has become sort of a competitive prerequisite for a CMS, even open source. I recognize the need for cash flow, but in the long run it is the size of the installed base which is ez systems' key revenue generating asset. Cheers

With regards to what Frasier said: I would have purchased the ezPublish online editor already but it just isn't feature complete enough to make it worthwhile. The implementation just isn't slick enough to make it work. Why couldn't eZ Systems just take an open source editor with an appropriate license, rework it a little to integrate it into eZ Publish and then charge for it? I would be *very* happy pay the fees if it had enough features, and was slick enough, and editors like bitflux easily meet that criteria. It looks like the bitflux editor has an apache license derivative as its license which would be fine.
Regards,
Willie

Regardless of whether ez will ever answer the questions we have asked in this thread and others, we have started on an oe, which works in a certain way right now: Read the last few entries to: http://ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/online_editors As you can see more needs to be done... paul
