WYSIWYG Editor with EE image integration

Can you post some screenshots of the interface? I looked on your site and didn’t see any eiter.

First of all, great extension. I’ve installed it with ease in no time and made a quick test. So far it’s perfect. Is there any possibility to support tables?

Really please you got up and running with ease. We’ve kept the tool bar very basic on purpose and don’t have any plans to include table creation at this time. Sorry.

No problem Malcolm 😊 So basicaly this editor’s options will stay as they are now? Anyways, thanks for shearing it with us. I’ll use this extention on some future projects. Wishing you all the best!

Hi there, you can see some screen shots of the editor in action here:

Instead of using the clunky onload()-rewriting stuff, why not leverage the fact that jQuery is loaded by default with EE now, and use the jQuery document.ready event?

Hiya,

Thought I’d give this new version a shot too but don’t know if I’m possibly doing something silly somewhere as I have installed this on a brand new install of ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 (localhost OSX MAMP) and I have set a field to use the editor.

When I go to publish a new entry then I get these errors at the very top of my Publish page :

Notice: Undefined index: image_action_id in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dctemplates/admin/extensions/ext.ep_editor.php on line 447 Notice: Undefined index: link_action_id in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dctemplates/admin/extensions/ext.ep_editor.php on line 448 Notice: Undefined index: cp_path in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dctemplates/admin/extensions/ext.ep_editor.php on line 449

Also I get a javascript error which shows if I use Firebug on Firefox (OSX) which says :

epEditor_init is not defined http://localhost:8888/dctemplates/admin/index.php?S=0&C=publish&M=entry_form&weblog_id=1 Line 1

and also the field just appears like a normal text-area would without any buttons on top of it.

Is there something I’m doing silly here perhaps?

Best wishes,

Mark

I made my second install of editor and when I try to open image manager I get a blank popup with this error notice: The epEditor image manager cannot find the core.system file

This is the URL: http://domain.com/scripts/epEditor/epEditor.action.php?ACT=&cp;_path=&iSrc=null&iAlt=null&iClass=null

Hi Tomaz,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, for some reason I’m not gettin email notifications of updates to this thread.

Ok, first off, the param cp;_path in the url to the image mamager window should be cp_path, very strange. Secondly, this should contain the path from the root of your server to your EE system folder. Can you tell me where you have installed EE on your server and what you have called your system folder?

Could you also view the source of the cp edit screen and find the JavaScript for the epEditor, it’s placed just before the close head tag. It should look somehting like this:

//<![CDATA[
var ep_script_path = "/scripts/epEditor/";
var ep_image_action_id = "32";
var ep_link_action_id = "33";
var cp_path = "/admin/";
var ep_editor_width = "95%";
var ep_editor_height = "250px";
//]]>

Could you let me know what your says?

Many thanks,

Malcolm

Hi Mark,

Sorry not to have replied before, the email notifications have stopped coming through, I suspect Gmail is being a little over zealous.

I’m sorry you’ve had so many problems getting this up and running. It looks like the extension has got completely lost and can’t find its setting or its JavaScript. I wonder if you could view the source of the cp edit screen and cut and paste the epEditor settings block. It’s placed just before the closing head tag.

I will set up EE on our Mac here and try and recreate the problems.

Many thanks,

Malcolm

Malcolm,

I just wanted to say that I installed epEditor and it works great! Thanks for making this available.

Hi Mark, Sorry not to have replied before, the email notifications have stopped coming through, I suspect Gmail is being a little over zealous. I’m sorry you’ve had so many problems getting this up and running.

No need to be sorry at all. Thanks for looking into this.

Not sure if you still need me to copy paste the source or not as I just tried on a brand new install of ExpressionEngine and now I get a custom field without any errors on the Publish page however I have tried in 3 different browsers and all I get is a standard custom field, none of the EP Editor functions show above it anywhere.

Best wishes,

Mark

Malcom,

I get the same error Tomaz B. asked about earlier: “The epEditor image manager cannot find the core.system file.”

Here’s the url in the pop-window for the image button: http://localhost/site-name/scripts/epEditor/epEditor.action.php?ACT=&cp;_path=&iSrc=null&iAlt=null&iClass=null

And here’s the source code on the edit screen:

[removed]
//<![CDATA[
var ep_script_path = "/site-name/scripts/epEditor/";
var ep_image_action_id = "";
var ep_link_action_id = "";
var cp_path = "";
var ep_editor_width = "95%";
var ep_editor_height = "250px";
//]]>
[removed]

This looks interesting. Does it work in a SAEF?

Hi Shannon,

I have to confess that I’m not familiar with SAEF.

The principle of the epEditor is to use JavaScript to convert a normal textarea into a WYSIWYG and update the form submit to grab its content. In theory it can be used on any form.

You can view a version working outside EE here: http://www.electricputty.co.uk/epeditor/epDemo.php

If I understand you correctly you can select EPEDITOR from the field type drop down when you create your custom field set, but when you try and create a weblog entry using it all you get is a standard textarea where the editor should be. Is that correct?

Could you paste the JavaScript code from the head and also the open body tag from the CP edit screen? Also, are you getting any JavaScript errors?

Many thanks,

Malcolm
