Pardon me if this has been addressed before, but I'm looking a way provide content editors with an easy-to-use simple WYSIWYG editor that edits structured text (simple HTML would be okay too) on the site. Basically they should be able highlight text and emphasize or bold it, specify the heading level of a paragraph, create bulletted or numbered lists, and insert images and links. What they have done should be immediately reflected in what they see on the screen, like they're using a word processor. This would obviously require some client-side code, such as a Java applet. Is there any such product available for Zope? I've looked on the web site, and the closest I've found is SmartSections, which really doesn't do what I need. If not, I'll probably write something myself using a Java applet. -- Emanuel Borsboom http://www.nuel.ca/
Is this what you're loking for: http://vsbabu.org/webdev/zopedev/ieeditor.html It's IE only, but it works really well. If anyone is interested I have a 'MonkeyPatch' that retrofits this into DTMLDocuments and DTMLMethods and PageTemplates. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emanuel Borsboom" <em@nuel.ca> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 2:35 AM Subject: [Zope] In-browser WYSIWYG editor?

I think it's the right way to do it : use existing products, but give them additional editing tools (it's more presentation/interface stuff than logic, iow : no need for a special content type for this particular feature). Very cool ! Looks like a nice candidate for a release on zope.org, I think it would be appreciated by a lot of zope users. Thanks in advance ;) Philippe

Is there any such product available for Zope? I've looked on the web site, and the closest I've found is SmartSections, which really doesn't do what I need.
Try here: http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/ttw.html It's a pretty long list, but most get knocked off due to being IE-only, expensive or buggy. I haven't yet found a good cross-browser tool.
If not, I'll probably write something myself using a Java applet.
Oooh oooh, I'd love for you to do that... and release it to the rest of us :-). Check out this project (also on Paul's page above) as a possible starting point: http://sourceforge.net/projects/htmltea/ . It doesn't appear to have been touched in almost a year though, so I guess the original authors have given up on it :-(. hth tim

Also from that list, Ekit ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ekit/ ) looks fairly advanced and recently updated, but still requires Java. And then there's NetWedit ( http://users.ox.ac.uk/~pault/netwedit/netwedit.htm ), more cumbersome in usage, but only requires Javascript. -- "I was wondering if there's any kind of definitive nickname for Perl programmers, the way we call ourselves Pythonistas?" - Aahz Maruch "Masochists." - Daniel Klein Nicola Larosa - nico@tekNico.net
