Dear Friends, I would like to share with you a very interesting script which makes Boltwire even easier to use.
You know that clients are hard to learn scripting like the system markup. They would rather use some WYSIWYG editor which could solve all that. In searching for proper JavaScript editor I stop at the simplest JQuery editor (http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-09/), which weight less then 10k uncompressed (original version was 7k, but I had to modify it a little). So, how to use it: uncompress the file JQuery Editor.zip into your $ $pub directory, download jquery-library (jquery.com) into the same folder and add the following lines into the head of your code.skin: <link href="$$pub/rte/rte.rss" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="$$pub/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript" src="$$pub/rte/jqueryEditor.js"></ script> The script turns every <textarea> into charming text editor. It is proper for new sites, as the texts need to be rewritten from Boltwire syntax into html to be editable with the editor. For the admins it's not the same. The Boltwire scripts need plain textareas, so this editor can be easily switched off from the button bar. I wouldn't say that this is the perfect editor, since sometimes a loss of text occur. But the larger editors like wymeditor.org (which is used by many CMS) have grater inconsistency with Boltwire, and the most important - they don't switch off completely. They show some html source, but after that fail to pass plain text to the system without additional formatting, which is essential for the system support. Finally, I would love to make real ajax onDblClick editor like http://spacebug.com/IPWEditor_In-Place_WYSIWYG_Editor , or http://www.arashkarimzadeh.com/index.php/jquery/7-editable-jquery-plugin.html but there is some security hidden field in the form, which I have no idea how to get in order to send the text from the generated by the script text area to the action.edit. I hope that could be of use to you. Good luck, Bogdan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
