Call for testers: new Online Editor

Friday 04 April 2008 4:29:29 am

great. we needed something like this.
installation on a fresh ezp v4 was really straightforward and it works and looks great. gratz for that.

but, i have a problem with html editor, both from admin and frontpage interface.
when clicking on view source icon (you know, that little tinymce thingy that lets us write in our native language :) )
403 error when accessing extension/ezoe/design/standard/javascript/themes/ez/source_editor.htm
can anyone confirm this problem?

here are my rewrite rules. can anyone tell me how to enable this editor?

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule content/treemenu/?$ /index_treemenu.php [L]
        Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
        Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
        RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]

thank, i just did it. but it wasn't my only problem...

that's what i get for being paranoid. i've had some rewrite rules in .htaccess file that i didn't move to virtual host config, and allowoverride was (naturally) disabled. it works now.

Sorry this is so late, I haven't thought about it earlier... We've just discussed the idea with Łukasz during the developer day in Warsaw. It is possible to customize the editor for one's purposes, but it seems like a global setting, which is not good enough for projects where you need a different set of buttons for an article and a different set of buttons for a simple comment, for example. And it should be so easy to make it totally flexible.

Instead of the array:

Buttons[]
Buttons[]=formatselect
Buttons[]=bold
Buttons[]=italic
Buttons[]=underline...

I would suggest presets:

ButtonsPresets[]
ButtonsPresets[]=simple
ButtonsPresets[]=full
...

[ButtonsPreset-simple]
Buttons[]
Buttons[]=bold

[ButtonsPreset-full]
Buttons[]
Buttons[]=formatselect
Buttons[]=bold
Buttons[]=italic
Buttons[]=underline
...

It would be totally great if the XMLBlock datatype could have additional preset identifier, that would decide which buttons preset to use for OE. Of course this part is customizable with override rules, but that would make things simple.

What do you think?

Hello André,

The second option - class attribute id or class_identifier/attribute_identifier combination would do the trick. We've already started two projects that will require multiple XMLBlocks with different sets of buttons... and I don't think we'll be alone here. So if it is still possible to apply that - that would be a big thing.

<i>>> EDIT: These specific settings will only be ui wise in this version, no server filtering and so on.</i>
Don't quite understand - can you please clear this comment up? Thanks.

<i>Meaning I won't have time to implement any server side filtering in the parser for this version, if the user turns off javascript and know how to insert tables or relations manually, he can do that even if you have disabled relation and/or table buttons.</i>
That's not too good, but I guess we can start with this and add server-side filtering later... Maybe if you have a good method figured out, I could help out with the coding, testing etc in order to have it ready earlier? Please let me know.

<i>One third option would be to introduce a small new feature in eZ Publish 4.1 where you have a drop down to select button preset. So in eZ Publish 4.0 all will use 'Standard' preset, but in 4.1 you have access to 'Standard', 'No Relations', 'No Relations and tables' and 'Basic Formating' or something like that. Would that work as well?</i>
But do you actually mean "prearranged fixed" presets or the flexibility of fine-grained defining the presents plus the list? If the latter, then of course I like the idea of the drop down list.

Hello André,

<i>
Why not a 3.10 version?
It means that ez system no longer support the 3.x family?

André R:
so if there is enough demand / founding for it when it is done, we might consider back porting it.
</i>

<b> I'm also interessed by the back porting for 3.x family :) ..

Thanx for this nice extension!!

Olivier Decan.

>-Linking eznode by search does not work.
Fixed in svn, use enter key in search input until next version is out(or download svn).

> -Linking eznode by browse does not work.
I can not reproduce this bug, could you give me more info (make sure you click f5 while inside a dialog so you know you have the latest script), for instance line number for the error.

> Will there be a help page in this editor like there is in the current OE?
yes, but I'm not sure what I want to put there yet (same as old, or more about info and link to online doc..)

Hi there...

here is a question from a newbie:

I tried to install this extension, following the instructions in INSTALL in the ezoe folder.
Everything looks perfekt, except of the editor himselve :-(
I see my content, but no buttons or the border of the editor...

Seems like the css wouldn't be able, but it is in the right folder:

/var/ezwebin_site/cache/stylesheets/3f1a8b5dd472f7762ae4de86c3ea6991_all.css and
/var/ezwebin_site/cache/stylesheets/d733348012af3bb7ed8f0424c5de570b_all.css

The code defines these two styles for the TinyMCE:

eZOeMCE['content_css'] = '/var/ezwebin_site/cache/stylesheets/3f1a8b5dd472f7762ae4de86c3ea6991_all.css';
eZOeMCE['editor_css'] = '/var/ezwebin_site/cache/stylesheets/d733348012af3bb7ed8f0424c5de570b_all.css';

Have cleared cache in all ways, but nothing ever happened :-(

Also gave the htaccess file the following lines:

Rewriterule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L]

Any ideas on this?

Thanks for your help ;-)

Hi André,

ezpz - it works... but only, when
[EditorSettings]
DevelopmentMode=enabled

Anyway, that's ok for me - thanks for this!!!

Other problem for me is:

Like the instructions I set the

[ExtensionSettings]
ActiveAccessExtensions[]=ezoe

only in one siteaccess, but this don't work... it seems only active, when placed in the override site.ini

Correct?
