Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] QuickTags/Toolbars revamp [was Re: WYSIWYG COE branch testing]

[Jonny B. <tw...@no...>]

Hi all

I've implemented most of the existing functionality for the new  
quicktags (still not renamed) in the CoE experimental branch, but it  
will need some proper usage to shake out the bugs and find any missing  
bits, so i am hoping this part of the branch can be merged into trunk  
during the 'fest next week. The issues i am aware of are as follows:

     No ability yet to create custom buttons
     No ability yet to replace existing icons (linked to above)
     Toolbars not yet shared with WYSIWYG editor (see below **)
     Better feedback required for disabled features/plugins/perms etc
     Some missing buttons such as 'dynamic content', 'dynamic  
variable', the specific maps ones (what language are they?)
     ...any others?

However, i have added a few nice new things, like separately  
customisable comments toolbars (for each section), integrated help  
tool etc, so hopefully it's good enough to bring in to trunk as it is.  
If you have a copy of coe and a spare 10 minutes, please can you take  
a look and let me know how you get on? Thanks! :)

** WYSIWYG
I'm finding the whole editing process in the coe branch to be  
problematic - what's the state of play with this? (Sept?)
Symptoms i'm getting are:

     In wiki mode:
         Add text and do a preview - new text disappears
         Save page and all content is cleared
	Was getting htmlentityencoding issues with quotes etc, but now  
everything disappears, so...

     In WYSIWYG mode
         Alert saying "tikiimage not found" (and no toolbar icons  
beyond bullet list)
         Preview comes back in wiki mode (but has the new text)
         Switching to wiki mode clears content
         Save page and all content is cleared (even if not switched  
modes)

...for instance, and this makes it very tricky to get any further with  
the toolbars. Are these bugs that i've introduced somehow? Or is it  
just work in progress?

I'll continue to nose around but it's hard to see where the key  
differences are - hopefully we can resolve all this in Barcelona soon!

Thanks for reading,

jonny
