According to the specs, this java applet does not require a plugin. It can be used as a signed applet and unsigned. (The difference between these two modes is explained on the website of realobject or in the manual.) Edit-on uses only some simple javascript in order to interact with the html form it is used in. It is also cross browser compatible. sebas. ________________________ Sebastian Kügler Webmaster NSM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor Toenjes" <zope@toenjes.com> To: "Sebastian Kügler" <sebas@ick-kupplungen.de> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 4:34 PM Subject: RE: [Zope] wysiwyg editor This might be great. But the required plug-in crashes my IE. I am new to Zope, but would join anyone that wants to develop a WYSIWYG HTML Editor for Zope as a product (sans plug-in). They seem to be javascript heavy. is there an alternative? CMF supposedly includes one. Can this be used without CMF easily? -Trevor

Hey group,

I already discussed this issue with some people @Eurozope in Berlin two month ago, here's an update of the status.

We planned to implement a WYSIWYG editor in zope, but it seemed quite hard to find one. This problem has been solved. Maybe there are people who already found the same one, edit-on, it is a product of realobjects, a company from germany.

Although it is not open source, i would recommend to at least check the online demo http://www.realobjects.de/samples/cmsdemo/ and click around. To me it really seems to be a fine peace of software with enough features to integrate it in Zope in "the zope way". (customizing also seems to be quite conveniant as most of it's featurescan be configurated within xml files.)

I am nearly finished with integrating edit on in zope (Not the most difficult hack i ever needed to make ;))

I think I do not have to explain all the possibilities such a tool can give especially when talking about CMS applications. Afaik realobjects can provide you with a limited evluation license for free.

give it a try, report your experience if already existing, opinions and tips are also very welcome ...

greetZ,

sebas.
