cut'n'paste text and images into content?

<< < (2/3) > >>

pcwacht:
The websites where the wysiwygs come from are:

FCKEditor : http://www.fckeditor.net/
XINHA : http://xinha.python-hosting.com/
TinyMCE : http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

These wywiygs are beyond the scope of WB, so not here ;)

Hi John

OK - but just while we're here, I saw on a thread in the modules forum that you did a commercial job for someone to integrate a non gpl editor for them - so obviously you know what you're doing.

What would it actually take to integrate a rich-editor such that the paste function works as described before?  To get it done, does one talk with a guy like you who's coding WB or talk to the rich-editor guys and get them to make wb work with their editor?

Seems to me that the obvious way is for the wb team to integrate the paste function - so why would that be beyond wb or the wb team programmers?

Many thanks for your time

Vee

I allso do loads of nonprofit help and coding...... ;)

To make this clear you need to know how a wysiwyg works (I'll try to explain as far as my knowledge goes..)
wywisyg's are javascript embeded codes with loads or routines.
When you click on something in the wysiwyg the javascript(routine) is executed.
Like inserting a table, changing fonts etc

What you want is to paste an image in the content.
Since the content is controlled by javascript (code made by the wysiwyg guys) they must make some routine wich "looks" at the embedded pictures and decide if the picture is local or from another server and if it is from another server fetches that image.
The real grabbing of the image and store it locally could be php but the initiation or 'fetching the parameters'  should be javascript

What we do here at wb is coding php and using /integrating existing programms from others like wysiwygs to make wb better.
In the wysiwygs addons could be very minor setting changes so it works better with wb. There allso could be some plugin changes all to make it work better with wb.
But wywiyg core changes are best done  by those developers, same as development for wb is done by the wb developers.

I hope this make sense and makes it more clear?

Extra functionality wanted / needed in a wysiwyg -> wysiwyg forum
Extra functionality wanted / needed in wb -> wb forum
Better integration wanted / needed for a wysiwyg in wb -> wb forum

Same goes for other things wb uses or need to run,
think php, mysql, apache, IIS, mail etc etc etc..

Hi John

Yep, makes sense and very clear - thanks for taking the time.  Well you've certainly got me thinking now...!

Thanks again

Hello vee,

if you have a free wysiwyg editor wich does what you want, post it here and we can try to make a modul for WB from it.

Same could we do with a commercial wysiwyg editor (like pcwacht did before) but not here in the forum. PM or mail pcwacht or me and ask.

If there is a descreption for the editor, how to implement in CMS systems, I'm pretty shure we got it to work for WB too.
