Hi.

Is there any *working* alternative to Online Editor in ez 4.0? (Tiny, FCK, SJSD... )

Thanks.

Hi!

Stay tuned for the upcoming version of Online Editor. It's based on TineMCE and looks very promising. Have a look here for more info: http://ez.no/developer/news/community_newsletter_1_1st_february_2008

although the OE is not very easy to use because its lack of preview, I'm not so happy to see it replaced by TinyMCE!

My experience with TinyMCE in a CMS is that it produced ugly scattered HTML and if the menu configuration file is too permissive about the features it provides to the end user, the user can really end up with a mess of HTML, whereas I really loved the strong purist separation between the presentation layer and the content that OE enforced. It was even one of my main criterias for choosing Ez Publish: the separation between content and presentation.

With OE, a content manager can't break the underlaying CSS. With TinyMCE, be prepared to see weird results through self-made inline CSS, strange aligns, pasted Word HTML etc break your nice CSS and templates and X-HTML compliance, at least if your content manager isn't the programmer himself. I hope that the onlineiedit toolbar feature on the front-end will not also dissapear!

We are not changing the underlying format. Just as the previous OE versions there is a xml handler that does the translation from the 'editor html format' to the eZ xml format and back.

So new OE based on TinyMCE is just as much a "XML editor" as the old one. I never liked that they call it an "XML editor" since it's basically more a "Html editor with a xml conversion layer in php"..

Will the new editor be privilege-sensitive in any way? For example, if the roles and policies sum up not to allow you certain operations, will corresponding toolbar icons disappear or get disabled?
