Jeremy, I think this could help: Webword for application. http://cms.webword.biz/img/behaviour.jpg
It could be implemented as easy as replacing <TEXTAREA><% = HTML_content_from_DB %></TEXTAREA> with <TEXTAREA style = "behavior: url(wysiwygeditor.htc)"><% = HTML_from_DB %></TEXTAREA> We can add to it major features of WebWord CMS http://cms.webword.biz Regards, Slawa Gorobets WebWord CMS http://webword.biz Wednesday, December 4, 2002, 7:02:08 PM, �� ��������: JT> Hello all, JT> My first post to the list, though I have been reading with interest now for JT> a couple of months. JT> I wonder if anyone can help me - I'm looking for suggestions of a WYSIWYG JT> editor to add into our CMS. JT> My company has developed an in house CMS on which we operate for various JT> specialist niche community/magazine sites. (links below so you can see the JT> sort of things it does and the types of articles our editors are writing on JT> the system - different sites use different and varied article templates). JT> It's all built in ASP and the "Add article" page is simply a web form into JT> which editors type raw HTML for the article body text. We need to keep the JT> overall system as it has real strengths in other areas but the lack of a JT> nice clean edit function for non-techy editors is the next thing we would JT> like to sort and turn to a WYSIWIG system. We don't want to re-invent the JT> wheel, so what we are looking for is a simple plug in module that can take JT> the place of the one form field on the page (there's lots of other stuff in JT> the page it needs to fit into) where they type the body text. JT> Specification thoughts: JT> (1) They need to be able to do a range of simple mark up (Bold, Hyperlink, JT> Italics, Paragraphs etc) without worrying about HTML JT> (2) Some more advanced functions would be nice (Certainly adding in images JT> and captions aligned right, left or centre) JT> (3) The ability to toggle between WYSIWYG the raw HTML view (many of our JT> editors are tech savvy and will handcode special bits) JT> (4) Wait for it... It needs to work on Mac and PC clients! (This has been JT> our biggest problem with the few we've found to date and it's a problem we JT> need to solve) We've thought about doing a browser sense then serving up JT> one of two optimised solutions depending on the editors' platform as a work JT> around. Thoughts on this approach? JT> (5) Needs to be online only - ie all the functionality in the page - and JT> preferably not too heavy. JT> Budget is near non-existent (obviously :-) as we cover our costs with JT> internet advertising. Think less than �400 absolute tops for a patch in bit JT> of code to work in all our sites (a couple of which we license to clients) - JT> and ideally it would be near free. JT> My questions: JT> (A) Does anyone have or recommend any plug-in type modules that might suit JT> our needs? JT> (B) Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this the right way to look at JT> solving the problem? JT> (C) Would you say I'm missing anything in my spec? JT> I'm going to put the shortlist through a selection process with our editors JT> and I'll post our findings back to this list if there is interest. JT> Our sites (for example articles - pick a sport you like!): JT> http://www.bikemagic.com JT> http://www.fishingmagic.com JT> http://www.outdoorsmagic.com JT> http://www.golfmagic.com JT> The ones we run for clients: JT> http://www.runnersworld.co.uk JT> http://www.digitalcameramagazine.co.uk JT> Many thanks indeed for any help or thoughts you can give me, JT> Jeremy JT> 0207 861 9866 JT> -- JT> http://cms-list.org/ JT> trim your replies for good karma. -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma.
