Because the editors were pretty much hard coded into the core of the application. Farcry 4 is so much more than Farcry 3. The core now allows for much easier development of plug and play functionality, such as the google maps plug in, Jeff's CFImage (for CF8) plugin and Trond's form builder. [1] These are built using custom data types and the power of the formtools technology. The formtool technologies allow you to rapidly build applications and part of this is the use of WYSIWYG editors. Everyone prefers their own choice of rich text editor, be it TinyMCE, FCKEditor or XStandard. The formtool technologies allow developers to plug in their choice of editor very easily. The config elements and the way the editors were coded previously meant that it was difficult to provide the extensibility for application development that is now available. TinyMCE was standardised upon, but there is also a plug-in to use the XStandard editor, and, as yet, no one has provided plug-ins for other editors. I hope that helps Regards Stephen [1] http://docs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCPLUG/Home [2] http://docs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV40/Formtools+Technology --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
