Hi,
I've spend the last 2 hours in integrating the HTMLArea (the free
customizable online editor, http://dynarch.com/htmlarea/) into my project which worked pretty smooth compared with my tests yesterday with midas from the Mozilla project (or even worse: the typo3 RTE editor...)
In my company we've integrated eWebEditPro from ektron which is quite powerful but costs nearly $300 per year/10 users... :-((( I need something free and HTMLArea seems to be a good replacement as it is released under a BSD-style license and works under Internet Explorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (any platform).
Have you looked at Linotype? It is in the Cocoon Linotype block, and has a client side Javascript editor built in. Stefano wrote it, and it has been suggested that this should be made into a Woody widget. If you were able to create a Woody widget of the Linotype editor, I'm sure you'd make lots of people happy, as it fits into bigger plans that exist for Cocoon (editor in front of repository, allowing a powerful content management framework...)
I'm afraid I'm too new to Woody to be able to help you with your binding problem. I'm sure someone else here can help.
Regards, Upayavira
As you can see (http://microbic.de/dav/htdocs/htmlarea/htmlarea2.gif) integration in Woody was quite successful and I wonder if someone is also looking for such thing. I prepared a small demo based on the "registration" example (http://microbic.de/dav/htdocs/htmlarea/htmlarea.gif) which can be tested here: http://microbic.de/dav/htdocs/htmlarea/htmlarea2.zip
Don't expect to much as it is a proove of concept and change <xsl:param name="htmlarea" select="'/pbone/htmlarea'"/> in
woody-field-styling.xsl to the right path inside your cocoon app.
Sample is available under http://youhost/yourapp/htmlarea/.
I still have one problem left:
In my current project (http://microbic.de/dav/htdocs/htmlarea/htmlarea2.gif) I'm using the woody binding for my article show in the screenshot. Basic problem is (independent from the html editor) that using any XML markup is converted to </> so that my XML looks like this after saving:
... <Body> <b>hello world</b> <Body> ...
when I would like to have:
... <Body> <b>hello world</b> <Body> ...
For the HTML editor this seems to be perfectly alright because editing such a file (as 1st example) is ok! So might need to escape the tags again when preparing the form after solving my current problem. Is there a solution available?
Thanks for reading, Patrick
