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

[David Cook]

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.

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).

 

Just a thought,

 

Martin

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

I'm thinking about this type of addition for a long time so I'm all for it !

Couldn't we also use a WYSIWYG for editing notifications (when HTML is
selected).
