[Phpwiki-talk] Status of Wysiwyg

[John S. <jst...@gm...>]

Hi All,
Long time no post.  I am trying to find out the status of WYSIWYG editing.
The reason being that a lot of my users (my manager in particular) are
unhappy to use wiki markup, and hence are less inclined to use phpwiki and
want to move to another wiki, probably confluence.  What is the status of
Wysiwyg, and how long before is is working well enough to do it?

I am also having difficulty getting Wikiwyg working in a new instance of the
1.3.13rc1.  Ther is just a banner about the Beta quality, but no controls to
do editing with, or switch in/out of wysiwig mode.  So any ideas
appreciated.
Cheers

John

plugin arguments get distorted, but the controls and the radio buttons 
to switch between the two modes should appear and work.
Can you send me a screenshot and some environment info if it doesn't 
work for you?

Ah, this is the problem! We heavily patched Wysiwig. you have to use
our version, not the official one.

We do the table editing with the help of the RichTable plugin.
It's not that cool as with Confluence, but phpwiki has more advanced
features in its plugins.
