[Koha-devel] Adding Wysiwyg to (HTML) System Preferences

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

I´d love the possibility to enable an WYSIWYG editor for (all) parts of Koha that outputs HTML. And stopping it from stripping hand-coded HTML that someone put there earlier would be great.

(On a side note: is TinyCMS still alive/possible to resurrect? WYSIWYG editing of extra pages created when using the Opac as a CMS would be great too.)

Kind regards

What would folks think about adding the tinymce wysiwyg to some of the system preferences that deal with HTML?

At Prosentient, we’ve added the “htmlarea” option for local system preferences, and now we’re thinking about expanding to include some of the standard system preferences (such as OpacNav, OpacHeader, OpacMainBlock, etc).

Many users probably don’t know HTML, so it might be useful if they could use a wysiwyg to generate or modify content for these system preferences.

That said, maybe not everyone wants to use a wysiwyg. Personally, I rather write HTML by hand. I don’t like using wysiwyg editors.

Tinymce does have an option where you can hand-edit the HTML source, so that solves that problem, but maybe there should be a system preference that controls whether certain system preferences have the wysiwyg appear or not. Maybe a list style syspref (e.g. OpacNav|OpacHeader) or just a general Yes/No.

I would be willing to write the patch, but I want to figure out if there is any interest first.

Cheers,

David

P.S. It’s worth mentioning that the “type” stored in the database appears to have *zero* impact on a non-local system preference, and that the “.pref” files are used as the source of truth.
