Okay, this is what I propose for the editors ... 1. The only editors enabled by default in new installations will be the "text" and "rte/dhtml" editors.
2. I recommend we remove/consolidate the midas, dhtml, text-js, and rte editors into a single javascript/dhtml editor. The look will be based on the rte/dhtml editors. Assuming time permits, we would update this editor to contribute better html. 3. The ekit editor is very nice looking, but seems to have some problems. It always started my documents with "<html>" which is bad, and it won't work too well with the 2 textareas. I would like to EOL this editor and move it to the sandbox or contrib area where someone else can continue supporting it if they want. It won't be available in a default Roller install though. 4. The wiki-js editor will also be removed or placed somewhere like the sandbox or contrib areas. That covers all 7 of our editors. Speak now if you are really adverse to any of these changes. -- Allen On Wed, 2006-02-01 at 11:18, Allen Gilliland wrote: > On Wed, 2006-02-01 at 10:54, Lance Lavandowska wrote: > > The old configuration had a place for listing which editors to make > > available to users (I haven't upgraded since before 1.0) and I don't > > recall you removing this when you rewrote the configuration bits. > > still there. a simple comma separated list in the admin UI config page. > > > > > On the 2 sections: the "editors" are really just replacements for the > > textarea that holds the main content.
