XMLArea extension development

yes some things are not being removed still. i thought a quick fix would work, sorry.

please do send your word document to stevoland+ez [at] gmail [dt] c0m. i haven't looked much yet at dodgy html pasted into the editor.

the main problem with parsing the page you've suggested comes from the very fact that there are no <li> tags in it! i admit though that the editor should probably be able to handle this or fail more gracefully.

i would suggest, however, that if it is very important for you to have a good editor for this sort of stuff that you buy the online editor.

We did buy the eZ publish online editor. It has its own bugs. To say the truth we liked your editor better.

is_block overwrite support in object tags:
This is adopted from ezxml output handler. Without this support, the object tag is always displayed as "block" element, rather than inline (I need something like this: when I did not assign the align property, then it should be inline. Of course, I edit two tpl files to achieve this as well, in addition to this patch)

this is the patch:

sorry liu, i misunderstood you. &quot; in literals is fixed now. also added your other 2 fixes.

i've removed yesterday's attempted fix to removed invalid tags cos it was causing more trouble. this shouldn't be a major problem though.

xavier - i'm not getting a stray } with 3.5.1. i've removed all the comments in ezxmltext.tpl incase this was the problem...

finally, i'm off on holiday next week so i hope it's in usable order til then.

Ok, I don't have any more problem with xmlarea since I've modified two things:
extension/xmlarea/design/standard/templates/content/datatype/edit/ezxmltext.tpl

added on the default at the top:
edit_lang=''
edit_version=''

I still have a problem: I don't want my user to upload images in the default media location, but under the current node.

Would it be easy to hack ? Would it make sense to you to make something cleaner and offer that as an option in the .ini file ?

When trying to insert/modify an object, the popup window dowload "layout.com" website. I haven't seen anyone else with a similar problem. Any ideas?

Using
ezp 3.5.1
xmlarea 0.2

Anyone else noticed that in Firefox upon page load xmlarea is stuck on until you click in a xml field then any other field?

Hi,

I've hacked the xmlarea upload screen so you can use children images (not only related ones).

If you're interrested, what's the best way of contributing back ? svn diff ? svn commit ?

liu - i've added your patch, cheers for that.

stéphane - i'm afraid i've no idea at the moment where your crazy insert object urls are coming from.

xavier - if you want to email your hacked files to stevoland+ez [at] gmail [dt] com, i'll integrate it, thanks.
