Is it possible to upgrade the TinyMce or get a better editor?

Hi guys,

The default TinyMce is very limited and I'm wondering if its possible to add to it or replace it without causing too many issues.

I'll appreciate any information you have on this.

Thanks.

any one home?

All you need to do is put TinyMCE into advanced mode it will then look like the one in this reply thing on this forum, however I dont have a clue where boonex store thier TinyMCE init

All configuration options are to be placed within the tinyMCE.init() JavaScript call This call will usually be made from outside of TinyMCE

If someone on here can tell us where in dolphin the TineyMCE init is located in dolphin we can do this by altering

tinyMCE.init({          ...          theme :"simple",          theme_simple_buttons3_add_before :"tablecontrols,separator"  });

TO

tinyMCE.init({          ...          theme :"advanced",          theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before :"tablecontrols,separator"  });

Ok I found it and it seems it is alredy set to ADVANCED mode.

FOUND IN templates/base/scripts/BXBaseConfig.php

 function BxBaseConfig($site) {
        $anon_mode = getParam('anon_mode');

  //$this -> bEnableCustomization    = getParam('enable_customization') == 'on' ? 1 : 0;
  $this -> bAnonymousMode     = $anon_mode;

  $this -> aTinyMceSelectors = array('group_edit_html', 'story_edit_area', 'classfiedsTextArea', 'blogText', 'comment_textarea', 'form_input_html');
  $sSelectors = implode('|', $this -> aTinyMceSelectors);

        $this -> iTinyMceEditorWidthJS = '630px';
  $this -> sTinyMceEditorJS = '
<!-- tinyMCE gz --> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $site['plugins'] . 'tiny_mce/tiny_mce_gzip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 tinyMCE_GZ.init({
  plugins : "table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,insertdatetime,preview,zoom,media,searchreplace,directionality,fullscreen",
  themes : "advanced",
  languages : "en",
  disk_cache : true,
  debug : false
 });

You maybe able to replace it with CKeditor but you would need to recode dolphin to fit it around it

http://ckeditor.com/demo

also do a google search for WYSIWYG editor

There are many editors and modules for Dolphin in the Market... look in there, it is full of suggestions

nay27uk, You're right, its already set on "advanced". The ckeditor link didn't open so i'll try it again later.

richmanfl, I searched the forum before posting this and I didn't find any solution which was a 100% positive with good results.

I saw 1 item sold on the market but the comments there are not so positive. They say you have to do some complex code work to make it fit into Dolphin.

Yes it seems like the site has gone down

 The link works fine now and it seems to be a great editor. Got any idea how to implement it in Dolphin?

if not, do you know anyone that can do this?

Yeah I think it is free so I think you would replace the above code I mentioned with the include code for CKEditor then you need to open any .php file where the curent TinyMCE is used and replace the include codes in those to reflect the new CKEditor.

I would sujest a good read of the documentation for both editors so as to grasp how they implement, once you know this it makes it esier to find the code in dolphin and implement the new.

If you get stuck let me know I will have a go at taking a loook into it

Cool.

I'll find someone to do it for me since I have no clue and wouldn't wanna mess things up.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

No problem we are all here for the same things and we are all learning

@yuval,

I would like to know what  features are missing in your implementation of TinyMCE.  I have enabled many new buttons/features in TinyMCE, and also integrated images to the toolbar with no problem.  The biggest issue is WHERE you want to have this toolbar. There are some areas that you DO NOT want the toolbar (like Language settings) and places that code does not belong.

I have had many sites that vary in requirements, so if you wanted to talk further about what you desire I would easily be able to work on the project for you. 

Give me a vision of where you desire to have the toolbars, and what you feel is missing, and I can upgrade your site with the proper tools to get it to a point where it is more useable for your visitors.

Hello

Comment activer Tiny MCE dans description?

How activate Tiny MCE extended in

Thank you

 I would like to upgrade the editor everywhere you can leave comments on my site, but I would definitely need help.  I need the ability for members to upload images and video directly from their computer rather than only through a url.  Can anyone help?
