Re: [Koha-devel] Adding Wysiwyg to (HTML) System Preferences
Great idea, Eric! I've opened bug 11584 for the system preferences and bug 11583 for the notices/letters. At the moment, we're using TinyMCE in other parts of Koha, so I figure it's useful to provide a consistent HTML editor across the board. Martin, I do like the idea of syntax highlighting, indenting, and linting though! MJ: As far as I know, it shouldn't have any problem preserving any hand-coded HTML, but I'll keep that in mind. Perhaps I'll write some bad HTML and see what it does with that. I'm glad to hear positive support! I'll get working on this right away. -David -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 06:26:15 -0500 From: Eric B?gin <eric.begin@inLibro.com> To: Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com>, Koha Devel <koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org> Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Adding Wysiwyg to (HTML) System Preferences Message-ID: <52D91357.1050301@inLibro.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; Format="flowed" I'm thinking about this type of addition for a long time so I'm all for it !

I was of two minds whether to implement TinyMCE as wysiwyg, or one of the code editors out there to do syntax highlighting, indenting and linting for all code type blocks (css, html, yaml etc), but I think for your average user the wysiwyg approach is the right one.
Would be happy to test a patch.

I think it would probably be a useful feature to many libraries and tinymce seems like the best of the current rather weak bunch.
A system preference to control it seems like a good thing.
If you can make tinymce abort if it finds handcoded html that it can't preserve (I don't know if this is possible), then that would be great.

Hi David, Take a look at http://www.avoid.org/codemirror-for-tinymce4/, it may be a suitable way to implement TinyMCE whilst also allowing code editing with all the goodness of codemirror.. (and hopefully the codemirror libraries are already on their way into koha with Jesse's advanced cataloguing stuff).

Hi Martin: That looks pretty cool! I think we’re using TinyMCE 3.5.8 at the moment, so perhaps it would be useful for us to open another bug to look at moving all the TinyMCE instances up to 4.0.x. -David From: Martin Renvoize [mailto:martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com] Sent: Monday, 20 January 2014 7:27 PM To: David Cook Cc: Koha Devel Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Adding Wysiwyg to (HTML) System Preferences Hi David, Take a look at http://www.avoid.org/codemirror-for-tinymce4/, it may be a suitable way to implement TinyMCE whilst also allowing code editing with all the goodness of codemirror..
