Hey all,

I installed the eZHMTLArea 1.0 into my system this afternoon and I've got some problems. Install went fine, but whenever I try to save the article eZPublish tells me spits out the html coding saying it's unsupported. Any idea what's up? Is there a better content editor that anyone out there would reccomend me using? I also installed FCKeditor but again, when I cut and pasted the stuff over to eZPublish it said the coding was unsupported. How do you guys edit your content?
Well, thanks for reading. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Daniel C.

Hey all,

Me again. I forgot to mention that I'd also checked out eZ's Online Editor and noticed that you couldn't do a "tab" function when adding text with the product. Is this someting that eZPublish just isn't capable of doing?

Cheers,

Daniel Cruz

Not being able to do a tab in OE is a "feature" since you are not supposed to do layout this way using HTML. Similarly you cannot insert lots of linebreaks in the rendered text by pressing enter lots of time in OE. There has been some controversy concerning this, so it might change in the future.

Daniel, have you set this up on a plain text field or an XML text field? As far as I am aware, eZHTMLArea will only work on a plain text field. The errors you are running into sound like they would result from eZ publish trying to parse the results of eZHTMLArea and compare it to its XML rules.

Hey all,

So is it possible to change the text field setting for eZPublish to plain text field? I played around with it this afternoon and couldn't find the settings.
On a related note, what do organizations using eZPublish do to allow there front-end users to format text? I can't imagine that most front-end users would know how to code their content to get the look that they want.
Thanks much.

Cheers,

Daniel Cruz

You can't change one type of field to another. You would need to add a plain text field to the class and remove the XML text field. Note, once you remove the XML text field, you will lose all information stored in that field for the class, so it is important that you add the plain text field first and transfer all of your text to the new field before removing the old field.

I know a lot of people use the Online Editor to help with formatting and the like. I don't have any experience with it myself though.

Check your override templates to make sure that the code used to display the text is not using a wash operator. It will look like <i>|wash</i>. That could be causing the problem.
