Hi
From our last weeks editor teaching event we received two feedbacks regarding tinyMCE: 1) If a user navigates away, the page remains locked and changes made in tinymce are lost - this leads to frequent use of force checkin... 2) the german name of the Submit Button is «Einreichen» - identical to the workflow name; should rather be save («Sichern») For 1) I suggest to add the tinymce plugin «autosave» to tiny_config.js (a popup is shown when the user navigates away - it has the option to save or cancel (just as it is done in bitflux).
For 2) I'd suggest to use «Save»
WDYT?

just a quick ACK - thanks for the feedback.
i'll see if i can look into this tomorrow, but no promises.
what kind of warning do you want?
something like this?:
"you are trying to navigate away from a page you are currently editing. your changes will be lost if you proceed. [return to editor] [abandon changes]"


Thanks for the reply

The autosave plugin has a message pretty similar to the one you wrote: "The changes you made will be lost if you navigate away from this page."

But the problem with a simple "OK" is: no checkin is invoked (yet) so the user was warned about the loss of work but the result is still a locked page.

I think it would be better to either not allow a user to navigate away from the page at all but rather force the user to use the Save or Cancel buttons (display just a warning with a ok button); OR If it is allowed to navigate away, a cancel event has to be invoked to unlock the page.

The luxury version would be a window featuring 3 Options: 1) cancel (nothing happens, user stays in editor ) 2) discard changes (unlock document and go to the requested page) 3) save changes (save changes and go to the requested page).

I think the autosave plugin shows how it could be done.


Thanks, Jörn



regards,

jörn
