Crawford Currie integrates new TinyMCE 3.2.2 in the Open-Source-Wiki’s Rich Text Editor
It is of great pleasure to announce, that in the current code repository, that can be tested at http://trunk.foswiki.org by community members, one can use the current version of TinyMCE 3.2.2.
Crawford Currie says in a message to the community:
This was a major upgrade, as it required recoding of all the Foswiki-specific code due to extensive API changes in TinyMCE. Hopefully this new version of Tiny MCE will fix some of the old niggles. However it will not be in Foswiki 1.0.4.
Please note, that the Foswiki community will test the new editor thoroughly before adding the feature to the official core code. Fosiwiki 1.0.4 will be released within the next days. Please do not expect this feature to be part of that release.
What are the benefits for Foswiki?
- You will be able to use an even more mature WYSIWYG-editor in your Foswiki.
- It will reduce errors and offer some more features. Please refer to the TinyMCE-Homepage for more info about the latest features.
- You will be able to integrate the powerful TinyMCE-Plugins like MCImageManager and MCFileManager.
- A lot of other additional TinyMCE-Plugins will be compatible with your Foswiki-editor in the future.
What can you do with it now?
- Help us to test the new feature, by using trunk.foswiki.org instead of www.foswiki.org for browsing through our website. You might need to get a registered foswiki user to edit pages.
- You can also test the implementation in your own foswiki, that you should install from trunk.
