Integrating TinyMCE into Blogo »

FERDY CHRISTANT - DEC 14, 2006 (02:43:43 PM)

Some good news for Blogo users: I am finally going to include rich text editing in the web interface, using TinyMCE. Others have done such a thing before, yet my integration needs seem a bit more demanding. Below is a small impression of the current status:

What works so far:

  • Row-based layout, where I configured only the buttons and controls that I want for Blogo
  • Storing and editing the content, without an agent
  • Custom addition where you can switch between HTML mode and Rich text mode
  • Decoupled from Form elements. Adding the rich text editor is as simple as including a subform
  • Most of the formatting works in the major browsers

What's left to do:

  • Squash a number of annoying bugs where the formatting does not work consistently in all browsers. As always, IE spoils the party
  • Add the ability to insert an image from the Blogo Resources section. I expect this to be a hard thing to do
  • Test it in production on this blog
  • Release it in Blogo 1.50 once mature

comment » Ferdy, when you want to integrate images from Blogo, drop me a line. It's not hard, I've done it with a Domino application I'm coding right now 12 «

Guau!

I'm going to do a lot of job this Christmas translating your template ... I'm thinking in a new feature to avoid the spam ... I'll send you the translated template with that feature in two or three weeks ... 26 «

comment » Juan,

Awesome! And never worry about your english, I'm not a native speaker either. By the way, did you know that Blogo already has an anti-spam mechanism? Maybe you're running an old version? «
