Hi all, is there any way to use an advanced editor (ckeditor / tinyMCE / Fckeditor) instead of the default one (which don’t let us use some objects such as tables, paste from word, ecc…) in an HTML Area field? Thanks.
Smart or web client?
Good question! Webclient! Thanks.
You can edit the button configuration of Servoy’s (which is YUI’s Rich Text Editor) with the trick posted here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=19075#p102710
However, this component doesn’t have table editing support. I bet it would be possible to integrate http://www.garbageburrito.com/blog/entr … ext-editor into it though.
Note that none of these rich text editors are very good at supporting pasted formatted MS word text. It can really screw things up actually.
For this reason (and the fact that people will do crazy things in a rich text editor like increase the font size by 1 point and the result won’t match anything else), with Sutra CMS we’ve recently moved away from TinyMCE as our default data entry block to using Markdown. Much cleaner html code output that matches the css of whatever web template and actually easier (much less confusing) for users to use once they get over a short learning curve.
The code is here: https://www.servoyforge.net/projects/su … sions/1065 if you want to take a look at it. Could be applied to a web client html field using web client utils plugin. Use a design-time property to tag html area fields in the designer that should get this component.
